@fgidc 🎨👗

@stocksjade pattern credit - ‘Repeated Originals’
.
A celebration for
@paultazewell and his Oscar winning work for the motion picture Wicked - a study of his practice in costume design to creation.
.
Yves Saint Laurent’s
@ysl 1960s Mondrian dress and how it shifted an era of fashion, trailblazing art to fashion so minimally and elegantly.
.
Micro replica of
@alexandermcqueen 1999 robotic arm fashion show scene, changing the game of the runway, at times conceptually, elevating the performance of fashion.
.
Rooting back to British designer Charles Frederick Worth, his Parisian Haute Couture Collections set precedence for the business of fashion - using live models and signing his clothes, reframing dressmaking as a type of authorship with creative discipline.
