some of those sketches are actually quite lovely and seem to suit her style...

they actually got me excited about checking out what she'll wear!

 

[Crying Diamonds]

I think I like the Lacroix the best

i quite like giles deacon's illustration on page 27. it reminds me that famous illustration of an yohji yamamoto outfit.
honestly, i find that whole creative mess style to be getting old. or maybe im just a very precise person

edit: whatever happened to molly grad, her grad collection was fantastic! i love her illustrations too

Nicholas Ghesquiere sketches (clothes are Edition pieces, not Ghesquiere designs)

it's interesting to see how simple most of the structures are
designs are clear. i thought they are like specs(?)

i found these, from geekigirl.com
they are also from the Edition collection
fall/winter 2008

dior_couture1245 i assume yours are for S/S 09?

how splendid thread... I also have many designer sketches, I can upload them when I get home... I have recent john galliano and valentino sketches and I think I got Chanel couture... and then many lacroix, gaultier vintage sketches... probably you would like to see...

 

[dior_couture1245]

^^Yes, I think we would all love to see those! I don't think I've seen very much of Galliano's sketches at all!

 

[eternitygoddess]

I would DEFINITELY LOVE TO SEE THEM.

Post those sketches up!

 

[AD122915]

okay, when I get home I'll upload them all... maybe next week, but I'll be there only for a day or two. I didn't know about this thread, so uploading pics after so many years of collecting fashion articles will make my post kinda big.. I also (illegally, again) took some pictures at a presentation of Greta Garbo's life in Paris of the original Christian Dior & Yves Saint Laurent sketches for her... they're kinda unique as one can tell ;-) gonna upload them soon.

 

[Miss Galliano]

thank you for sharing^

Alber is so awful at drawing

Has anyone seen Lacroix's? He is also really awful
yet both styles so endearing

 

[MUXU]

^he captured the lines of the legs well enough

i wonder how the seamtresses will understand karl and alber's drawings

 

[yujie]

Amazing thread, such great inspiration !

thank you, dior_couture1245!
I really like the style of drawing here.
Where did you find these scketches? Are you sure sketches are done by Ghesquiere himself? Its seems to be very precious, cause i could never found any drawing by him.
