so here's the new challenge....
People, designers are people too, often dont work on stuff they like. I dont mean creative directors as the big names (karl, john, christian, etc...), but the people who work for them (assistants, etc)
i've done some research and seen what you think about the latest couture collections. in general you ( ilaughead, dbear and ibimus) liked givenchy and dior, an disliked chanel, lacroix and valentino.
now it's time to chose:
Imagine you are part of the team who designs the couture collection you liked the least this year, you have to work on a new outfit that is coherent with that whole collection, but that at the same time improves what it laked.
Show an image of your work, explain why you didnt like the collection and say what have you done to improve it.
good luck (i'll judge the entries in about a week or more)

i hope it's alright if i join in. if not, just disregard it.
i always feel like delicacy is lost in galliano's design. to me, it's very blunt. it's very harsh, and it's very over the top. he uses different mediums well [an aspect i love], but the strident colors are so overpowering that i turn up my nose. so, by keeping dior's s/s 2007 ctr asian inspired detailing, i tried to create something that implemented what i felt was lacking [very, very lady-like, elegant and dainty touches] all the while staying true to what i commonly saw throughout the collection. hope it works!
the entirety is made of an ivory chiffon, but to make it interesting, there are tucks and layers. two large bubbling pockets on either hip, although mostly unusable due to the transparency of the fabric, give it depth as does the tucking under the optional sash just below the breasts which happens to be brown chiffon, the only dyed fabric. the entire dress has 3 layers of the ivory chiffon. at the end of the sleeves and bottom 3/4 of the dress, the deepest layer is the longest, followed by the middle layer and then the top layer that is the shortest. the middle layer, on the bottom, has a very light print on it resembling the plant of the hair piece in green and brown. if you squint, maybe you can see the color.
so there's that.
p.s. sorry the picture is crappy. i don't have a scanner so i had to take a picture of it with a digital camera.
i used this as inspiration for the hair piece as well as the plant design on the middle layer of the bottom 3/4 of the dress.

Okay, I finally finished mine!
It's Chanel. I liked some of the tailored looks, but the dresses always have such spectacular embroidery. I decided to put the two looks together. I decided to use the motif of the vertical bars as sequin embroidery on both the body and sleeves (which are three-quarters length) of the jacket. A feather skirt ties the tailored look I created with the over-the-top ballgowns near the end of the show.
Sorry for the huge size, though!
