  • Narratives of a Designer's Collection: Fashion Shows
    The Turkish Online Journal of Design, Art and Communication - TOJDAC ISSN: 2146-5193, October 2019 Volume 9 Issue 4, p. 546-554 NARRATIVES OF A DESIGNER’S COLLECTION: FASHION SHOWS AND ARTISTIC APPLICATIONS Sanem ODABAŞI Eskişehir Technical University, Turkey [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8467-9038 ABSTRACT Fashion weeks are of significant importance since in addition to new designs to present, within those weeks a fashion shows’ effect sometimes moves ahead of the designs. When collections are completed, fashion designers introduce them through the “fashion show,” a field used to present their collection ideas in an impressive and striking manner. Through this form, the designer employs performative presentation to help put across the intellectual message, the allure of a fashionable creation, or to mediate diverse creations in a visual way as a collection. Fashion shows have a strong impact due to the atmosphere created which is surrounded by music, video art, performance and stage design. These 20-25 minute shows represent the whole collection through the background idea of the collection and designer’s inner world, by using colors, textures, stories, forms and visuals. Thus, an artistic approach is key when designing a show in order to reveal the collection’s idea in its most relevant form. The aim of this paper is to examine how fashion shows are curated by artistic applications and to reveal the ways of narrating stories which are not written but are conveyed to communities through performative presentations. In this respect, an interpretative approach was adopted and related artistic applications from contemporary examples held between 2013 and 2018 were analyzed as part of narrating a collection.

When, where and how their interaction and origin is begun? There should be no glamor and red carpet when The Lumière brothers short films like Workers leaving the Lumière factory, The Gardener, Baby’s Breakfast on the birth of cinema in 1895. However, we notice that artificially costumes are tailor-made for A Trip to the Moon in Georges Méliès and D. W. Griffith’s Intolerance. Suddenly, it adds the aesthetical and modernist elements into the blood of cinema beside the raw-realism of how the daily life of the common people is represented on the silver screen. Some kinds of bourgeois ideology and middle class value is enhanced. It is so unbelievable that some ordinary actress like Mary Pickford transforming into a movie star after beautifully dressing up. Not only the audience feel the power of movie magic but also the fashion magic. This paper explores the different perspective of movie and fashion in terms of fashion and film costumes, movie stars icon, fashion trends influenced by movies, and how fashion designers changes the look of cinema as well, etc. Keywords: ideology, movie images, stardom, fashionability Introduction Cinema is somehow like a showcase of fashion. General audiences are fans of movie stars not just because of their personal charisma, but because of the fashion they wear.

  • Redefining the High Art of Couture: Fashion Illustration Goes Modern
    Redefining the High Art of Couture: Fashion Illustration Goes Modern exhibition curated by Decue Wu Tuesday, April 30, 2013 Fashion illustration has a long history and has played a critical role in the fashion industry. In the past, fashion illustrations were the main avenue for presenting the glamorous fashion concepts of designers. The illustrators added their own elements into their illustrations while showing the designerʼs vision. Meanwhile, fashion illustrators also documented the fashion show as editorial illustrations for magazines, newspapers and other publications. Yves Saint Laurent drawing designs. 1957 Tuesday, April 30, 2013 Cover illustration by Benito, 1921, for Vogue, February 15, 1921. Cover illustration by Benito, 1929, for Vogue, August 1929. Tuesday, April 30, 2013 Exhibition Précis: Redefining the High Art of Couture: Fashion Illustration Goes Modern is an exhibition that asserts that fashion illustration is a fine art. The focus is on the fashion illustrations of notable contemporary fashion illustrators, including David Downton (1959), Gladys Perint Palmer, Tanya Ling (1966), Francois Berthoud (1961), Mats Gustafson (1951), Zoë Taylor (1982), Jean-Philippe Delhomme (1959) and Howard Tangye (1979). Approximately two to four illustrations showcase the remarkable artistic talents of each artist. This exhibition is meaningful because it dispels the idea that fashion illustration is merely a functional tool for a fashion house— one used either to instruct tailors or to be manipulated as a marketing-and-sales device in fashion magazines or blogs. Instead, these exquisite drawings lift fashion illustration to its rightful place—as a high-art form worthy of acquisition by a museum or a private collector.
