I just love Giles Deacon. And he doesn't seem to disappoint. This Giles Fall Winter 2012/2013 collection was so genius...all the burnt pieces...that really I didn't notice at all when I first looked at them. I thought they were really gorgeous almost animal print-y. But then after my eyes re-focused, I loved them even more. He's amazing. He def knows how to make a girl look good in clothes. I'll have to read up on what the inspiration/theme was behind this collection because it was so well thought out...and well executed. I just think he's one of the new players and I hope I get to play with him one day.♡

 |
| and this one. amazing. (ps codie young is one of my new fave models, btw.) |
 |
| i love this shape and this dress so much. would be an amazing wedding dress. |
 |
| i know a lot of people are going to hate this. but i love love love all dresses this shape...is this edwardian? methinks maybe. but i do love it. i tend to buy a lot of dresses from the 1960s that have a similar almost-babydoll shape. there's something very old world and very modern at the same time about it. dunno. |
 |
| omg. i wish and pray someone would have the nerve to wear this to something like the oscars. it's amazing. |
 |
| so oretty. |
 |
| this is probably my favorite of all the burn dresses. and it's julia nobis, whom i think is turning into a super model by the minute. |

The shape you're thinking of on the one dress is probably Georgian - early 19th C. up to around 1830-1840 - then it became Victorian right through 1901 - Edwardian through 1910. From history of costume classes, living in England and too many Jane Austen films, I feel strongly that this is the underlying shape :D. What's so awesome is that it is ABSOLUTELY also the case that it's very late-60s retro as well - the stiff fabric, high waist and the collar styling look so 60s - and I guess all of the high waist stuff originally comes from Empire post-revolutionary stuff, but this is so much more structured, just to me a lot more reminiscent of Georgian era dress.
ReplyDeleteAlso totally agree that it would be amazing if someone had the guts to wear one of these burnouts - but HOLY HELL the model in that particular dress is fucking skeletal, I am the terrified. Look how much better every other model looks here. How not-terrifying.
hi lady!
ReplyDeletewhat an awesome comment. thank you! i knew it was close.... :) ...i think you're totally right and yes...those sixties versions are amazing. totally coveted by moi.
you mean codie young? i think she's naturally that lanky and strange looking. it doesn't bother me terribly with her cuz i think she's just like that. plus, she looks like a character from the dark crystal or something. :)
but yeah...i hope someone amazingly boring decides to up and wear that burnnnnnn dress. these are the times i think i should be styling celebs in the lala.
thanks for reading....there will be a big post on amy and jon soon!
