スージー・ロウさんのインスタグラム写真 - (スージー・ロウInstagram)「**EDIT** Had to delete and repost due to errors in the videos - Beginning the week of watching haute couture digital happenings propped up onto Nico’s high chair, which handily props up the laptop for Zoom @bryanboycom @veronikaheilbrunner @bagsnob (because we talk daily on chat) joined me on our imaginary frow to watch the #DiorCouture stream together with a ton of tech mishaps (thanks IG for losing my entire Live 🤔) - Post Zoom tech fail, despite being momentarily swept upstream with a mermaid, upon further reflection (why I’m better with words than live broadcast) this is what I thought... - I was initially very excited to see @dior referencing one of the quirkier events in the history of Paris haute couture - the Théâtre de la Mode tour of miniature gowns on dolls in 1945-6 to revive the French fashion industry - @mariagraziachiuri shrank both the scale of the dresses and the number of looks but upped the ante with a mega production (How? When? The filming logistics of this? Mind is boggled 😱...) fantastical film directed by @matteogarroneofficial with said mermaid, nymphs, a live Venus statue and a travelling trunk of dresses exploding into the woods in some Ovidian dreamscape - All ingredients and references for perhaps an antiquated idea of haute couture - big frocks, volumes, Greek mythology, fairytale sequences - in some ways it’s a welcome hark back to yesteryear grandiosity - But sadly, an all white cast (to the point where the main cohort of nymphs all had the same shade of auburn hair) without a single model of colour - signed off amidst the #BLM movement - really held it all back - What would have elevated this part Grecian, part pre-Raphaelite phantasmagorical vision heavy with Western authored literary references and painterly visuals is to rewrite these tropes with a diverse cast - And yet the visuals are so delicious, so enticing, and the idea of these miniature gowns being painstakingly made in the atelier is also mesmerising in itself - petite mains on petite robes... - What could have been a triumph for escapist haute couture, fell short on the basis of casting - in essence, the EASIEST way for fashion to confront its issues with race」7月7日 21時14分
