Kleider machen Leute.

Personally I think Barbara Streisand wore it better, nearly 60 years ago.l!

Better than which one?

The one with Kylie Jenner half-wearing a dress is supposed to be a depiction of this:

Allira I was really saying that a great (say) artist using paint could not necessarily be expected to be an artist with a musical instrument too.

It was just in response to comparing a fashion designer with a skater, which I thought was irrelevant.
That's all.

OMG! They look awful! Who would wear those?!

Just found this lovely article in House and Garden

Not the wild outfits but others where you can see the connections.
Maybe some of you would like to see this.
I thought Naomi Watts in Dior was beautiful. It obviously worked like the 1951 version, setting the blooms against a beautifully cut plain background.

Im assuming that these women gain by getting noticed and reported on. Personally I don’t think any of the outfits are glamorous or attractive.

Lideeyah - surely you must find a few of them attractive and/or glamorous?

Obviously not the ones that are in the OPs initial post!

I agree that some of the creations are undeniably attractive in their handling of the subject matter.

The dresses that create beauty out of beauty usually appeal most. The ones that just want to shock don't. The ones closest to the Art they portray leave the most lasting impression, the rubbish ones are ridiculous.
Remember Yves Saint Laurent and his homage to Mondrian with his simple mini dress? Mid 60s I think. Less is often more.

Fashion evolves over time, and no doubt reflects the times in which we live. I just don't want to see attention seeking exhibitionists turning beautiful pieces of Art into bawdiness. For what purpose? There's a very fine line.

And I promise I'm no prude!

Years ago (and this may still happen) students of Costume Realisation at Wimbledon School of Art in their final year had to choose a picture from the National Portrait Gallery, design and make the costume worn by the subject of the painting.
As an exercise in historical research, authenticity, design and making it was a real test.
The student then had to wear the costume and stand beside the painting for the duration of the evening showcasing their work.
There were some stunning creations and the students would, of course, hope to be spotted by film and theatre designers/directors and go on to a career in the industry.

Some stunning dresses Notspaghetti thank you.
