I love it when a fashion collection has a distinctive idea or concept behind it ... when the intellect is intrinsically and palpably engaged in the design process in fashion or clothing ... when the concept or idea is transmuted into something material and physical as a piece of clothing .. fashion design as an intellectual process or activity ...
Check out these ideas and words from Vera Wang ---
"Vis-à-gris
Opposites (black and white, structure and flou) are reconciled in grey. Grey, at once industrial and poetic: hard as steel, dove-soft.
Illuminated with flashes of color, sparkling ornamentation, an engineered architectural print, the achromatic granite-toned scale throws the textures of sculpted wools, solid felts, and cowled chiffons into relief.
Clothing as sanctuary: The body protectively enveloped in the soft armor of a fitted sheath, the sharp discipline of fencing-inspired jackets, the structured carapace of a coat."
