Futuristic ayee??
Honestly, I don’t watch runway shows as much as I should. With that being said, during our 3rd project I did get to catch up on a lot of the runway shows for the spring/summer collections. I think, as a designer, it would be in their best interest that incorporate their inspiration/theme of the collection into everything involved [models, clothing, hair, makeup,music, runway, etc]. I just don’t understand when designers literally spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a collection, and present it in a way that is at the end of the day…forgettable. One of the shows that really stuck out to me was Rick Owens S/S 2013 collection, you could really tell that from start to end he thought of every last detail. Booth Moore Models described the beginning of the show as..futuristic figures with flying saucer-like hairstyles emerged out of the darkness as if from another world. During the whole show, which included an over-sized wall dripping with foam, there was always something to look at. The runway was extra wide, each made it every easy for two models to be walking at the same time. It didn’t matter if you loved or hated Owens collection, it was just obvious that the designer spent so much time developing this collection and this is what he loves to do, which I can truly appreciate!
