Drapes, Folds and Volume (posted on 05/02/2012)










These are by far a couple of the ugliest fashion items I have ever seen; not even on the plastic mannequin figure above do they look good. Complete disasters and such a waste of fabric. It seems these items are not meant for commerce or to be worn. They are rather works of art -ugly and disturbing art- comparable to Francis Bacon's monstrous works. They show that to be truly beautiful and chic less is sometimes more.
