Runway vs real way

[AD051919]

Brigadeiro -- thank you! You do draping so amazingly well and the combination of the softness of the dress and the edgy sandals is perfect!

Here is another skirt combo -- Marc by MJ, fall'07, celine sweater (can't find runway pic -- bought it last fall), and commercial version of croc prada sandals from spring'06. Style.com and my own pics.

Oh dear! I did it here too, I'm afraid I was too lazy to type the items out, and cut & paste it, didn't mean to keep the links in, and I can't edit it, I'm very sorry moderators!

 

[softgrey]

no worries...i edited for you...



very interesting to see the jacket worn open like that...
i never would have realized it was the same piece...

that is what i love..
seeing how people make things their own by wearing them with other things and styling them in a way that is completely different from the runway...

lovely...

Brigadeiro -- I love the combination of the necklace and the jacket!

Here is a dolce & gabbana suit from fall'03. It had suspenders on sleeves, but they looked quite trashy and ruined the clean lines of the suit, so I got them removed. Style.com and my own pics.

 

[softgrey]

nice fit on that jkt...
i like the sharpness on the shoulder as well...

brigadeiro
you are wonderful!
that stella mccartney silk jacket suits just perfectly for you and i love how you wore it, leggings and pumps.

also i must say that i prefer your outfit with burberry prorsum coat outfit over runway outfit.

I just want to clarify that the purpose of this thread is not to critique clothes shown on the runway vs clothes worn by real people.

The purpose of this thread is for those who choose to, to generously share pictures of themselves wearing runway items, so we can see the difference in how things are shown by designers, and how tFSers wear them in real life.

 

[softgrey]

yeah- unless of course you are saying that the person wears it better than the model did in the show...

...
then it's ok...

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ That's right ... anyone who wants to say I look better than Jessica Stam, go right ahead

Actually I do like my bag a lot better ... that was one ugly bag on the runway.

 

[brigadeiro]

I do agree fashionista-ta! Was it a Lanvin bag (sorry if I'm way off), loved the Bottega Veneta skirt! Loved everything from that collection, it was 2D4!

Thanks jenna-maria and vika - great job on removing the 'suspenders'! Great suit!

[fashionista-ta]

^ Yes, it was a Lanvin bag I agree, one of my favorite Bottega collections. Beautiful on the runway & gorgeous in person.

Brigadeiro -- the dress looks so beautiful in blue!

Continuing with the blue theme -- marc jacobs skirt from fall'05 (unfortunately, can only see the hem on the runway pic) -- the skirt has asymetrical vertical and horizontal insets of blue and black in different fabrics; jil sander sweater and max mara pumps.
