The fashion industry is a field of creativity and wonder. The collections presented on runways for Fall 2014 offer tons of variety and new ideas but what caught my attention are looks that explore how fabric works on the body and around it. The traditional silhouette that hugs the body is often abandoned.
Several designers show dresses that are not shy about fabric and plenty of it. I am fascinated by designs that 'live' on their own when the body is in motion. Designing on the dress form is one thing; being able to bring life to the garment is another.
Here are three examples of dresses I like. Electric Feathers (white dress) explores how the width of a dress adds to the visual value of the garment. It would be lovely to see the design when the model is standing still; the drape on the dress must be interesting. Heohwan Simulation gives us an asymmetrical black-and-red dress - it has an edgy and future-forward futuristic feel. Chadwick Bell brings sparkle and lightness into play with the dusty pink dress.
Which one would you wear?
