What do you get when 3 humans and 9 stuffed dolls run into 2 ostriches?
Calamity!!!!!
A great way to save money, as a designer, during Fashion Week is to leave the models at home and use dolls. Surely the designer’s pockets surely don’t feel as raped of all their funds. But rest assured, it is a certified way to make your collection look cheap.
Mirco Giovannini, for whatever quirky reason, used these faux abstract stuffed dolls in the shape of humans to display his RTW Fall 2010 collection at Milan fashion week. Whatever and however the designer thought it was going to turn out as, it did the complete opposite. Not only can you not see the shape, lines and cut on these dolls (especially the one sitting on an ostrich…really, an ostrich?), but you cannot get a sense of appreciation for the three dimensional fit of these garments.
You want to see a great fashion show, have a look at Cavalli’s. Now that is an aesthetically pleasing presentation. Mirco’s….not so much. If this can be showcased as part of Milan Fashion Week, so can I. Shall I pull the ever familiar move to Milan like our Canadian fashion design brothers of DSquared?
