Swans

[purplelucrezia]

They seem to be used an awful lot. Specifically by more of the "out there" designers. Any comments?

Yes, I know those are probably doves, and that dress has already been discussed, but what the heck...

Bjork's infamous swan dress on runway.

Certainly here, purplelucrezia, but where else besides Marjan Djodjov Pejoski's Fall 01 collection?

 

[purplelucrezia]

Hmm...I thought I had something here...

 

[xclusive]

umm that's a NO

I adore swans. Except for when I'm trying to feed ducks and they hog all the food. They can be bullies sometimes.

Anyway, yes, I'd like to see more swan motifs. I love bird motifs and I'm a really big fan of animal motifs in general (as I've expressed in the past).

Agreed.

Swans are really beautiful, elegant and romantic but it takes a really skilled designer to make them look good on clothes... or you can just use their feathers as decoration

 

[Lena]

abstract feathers in a mix (R.Cavalli) and peakock feather prints (M.Williamson) are in the trends this summer but not as strong as they could..

swans? hmm i'm afraid not for this (or for the next) season.
their time will also come but lets hope not in a Marjan P. way

I agree with you, it sure aint a dress I'd want my self but she gets 5 stars for being original and giving the press and the critics the finger in a big way

 

[twilight fairy]

I truely deeply love swans, they have such elegance and ebauty and love, and yes I woudl lvoe to wear them ( well ntot he actually swan, but you get the idea).

 

[ahhGucci]

I would love to wear something Swanny, if something that was practical to wear with a Swan motif, I would wear it, definately.

I think what the designers are shooting for is not the idea of "swans" but the feminine aspect of the animals. Perhaps?

Ecofeminism, you mean? So if the swans are dead...
