The look inside makes them more personal, fragile and imho gives life and story to that, what we see as the "completed" dress. <br />We can turn pages so quickly and maybe think "whoa, that dress must have took AGES to finish" and were left out of sweet little facts, like, did someone have troubles getting the fabric, was it intended like that what we see anyway...etc.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02659787234559994217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-53813521355994723302011-01-07T09:34:38.576-05:002011-01-07T09:34:38.576-05:00I'd have to go with inspirational, rather than...I'd have to go with inspirational, rather than bizarre! The styling is a bit weird on the runway, as you pointed out, but isn't that so for most haute couture collections? ;) I definitely love seeing the "innards" of a New Look era Dior dress reinterpreted; all the padding and boning is stunning and really a marvel to look at. All those hours and fittings that it takes to get an impeccable fit.

These dresses are interesting in a "hey look at how weird that is" kind of way. Not a "wow, I want to make/wear that" way.K2https://www.blogger.com/profile/11083972144717379173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-11536613567344365382011-01-06T14:37:32.801-05:002011-01-06T14:37:32.801-05:00I like these a lot.

(Also, images 18-33 of the style.com page you linked to have more wearable hair and make-up; I wonder why the wig caps and sinister eyebrows with the other pieces?)

It has a different exhibition every year - this year's was all about balls and fancy dress parties (last year it was the Bohan years, etc). Whilst it always features some early Dior, it also includes several Galliano dresses (different every year) that you get to see close up. The ones presented this year included the Midnight Poison dress, as worn by Eva Green in the advert (which was immediately voted the best by the tweenies I was with!), and several of the catwalk dresses from Dior's 60th anniversary show. Some of them were absolutely extraordinary, but what was most fascinating was seeing the construction - including how some of them were falling apart in places, with stitches coming loose, either from the sheer weight of the draping, or maybe when the models took them off again? It's not a big museum, but the anniversary exhibition a few years ago was absolutely amazing, with people coming from all over, like on a pilgrimage. One early Dior dress defied understanding - whichever way you looked at it, you couldn't see a single seam. What I wouldn't have given to get my hands on it, to try and grasp how it was made!Nathaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11570545194570856281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-20229272198251809162011-01-06T12:56:06.004-05:002011-01-06T12:56:06.004-05:00Inspiring!Inspiring!sparklewrenhttp://www.sparklewren.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-74911849969563979152011-01-06T12:24:27.314-05:002011-01-06T12:24:27.314-05:00There isn't a dress I love that I don't wa...There isn't a dress I love that I don't want to turn inside out.
