Dress




This dress is created by John Galliano (British, born Gibraltar, 1960) for Christian Dior Couture (French, founded 1947). The dress is simple, and have a unique form because of the mannequin dress it has. IT looks like it is still unfinished, yet he seems to make it look finished garment. However, when we look at the pin foams on the elbow, we will not think the way he thinks. The garment has such combination and question the way people dressed up for the last decade. The use of bustle with great fabrication and embroidered details with the torso have contradicting aspect. As before, women needed to dress up in a flamboyant and modest manner yet here, it uses croset and the skin is really exposed.
However, in overall, this garment has an original design that people would not think off.



















Tao Kurihara (Japanese, b. 1973) for tao Comme des Garçons (Japanese, founded 2005). Ensemble, spring/summer 2007. Ivory silk knit; white paper; natural cotton canvas. Gift of Comme des Garçons, 2007 (2007.382.2a–f).

Tao Kurihara is a graduate of the prestigious fashion college of Central Saint Martins in London. She was mentored at Commes des Garçons and, as a protégé of Rei Kawakubo and Junya Watanabe.
Kurihara has such a feminine design by playing with the notion of combining knitwear and lingerie. It was such a unique idea. Lingerie is commonly used as underwear, however she is brave to bring it forward as a garment and to be worn in public. However, it is still modest, even though there is still a sensual feeling radiated.
The dress above is a combination of “a shirt and a wedding.”It is created completely in white, ended with bridesmaids in fine gauged silk knit polo shirts and crinoline hooped skirts of shredded paper.
