Bruno Pieters' strong,ultra-talented presence in Paris

The formation of Contemporary Fashion Archive by the EU. A wonderful concept surrounded by talents and free from conglomerates.

The Dover Street Market by Rei Kawakubo and Adrian Joffe. The entire concept was ultimately the brightest spotlight of the year.

Hmmm, favorite. I think I'm gonna go with the Christian Dior s/s 04 couture collection. It just amazed me beyond belief. Looking at the pictures from it I was like a kid in a candy store. Also, in a way it helped me find tFS, if I hadn't been searching for pictures of the show I never would've found The Spot.

But most amazing, even though it was hardly my favorite moment was when Tom and Dom left....it changed fashion in a huge way and it was just very surreal, like, who ever saw that coming. Even though the difficult negotioations were made public it was just shocking...to me anyway

Wow, I missed that one I think....

 

[Fade to Black]

My personal favorite moment in fashion this year was just getting into fashion in general, becoming more fashionable and discovering brands like Dior Homme, Junya Watanabe and Carpe Diem.

When PETA attacked the VS fashion show

 

[versace]

no versace couture

tom and dom leaving

wasn't it LV 150th bday this yr also? or was that last yr?

Richard Avedon's (great photographer) death

and also didn't Estee Lauder pass away too?

 

[Scott]

Must also add,Sophia Kokosalaki designing the costumes for the Olympics....and that Björk dress!

And the prize for spotlight presentation: Bernhard Willhelm's "Rubbish" collection for A/W 04. Not his greatest work,but the way he presented certainly leaves a mark for me this year. It was perhaps the most hilarious,and most fantistical thing I saw.
