Caitlin wrote to me with a class assignment that was giving her a bit of trouble. I think if we all put our heads together we can come up with some examples to help her out... any suggestions?
Nina Ricci spring 2009 RTW! It has lots and lots of gigot sleeves. (I did a giant, 126 page PDF last year that defines fashion terms and shows 3 contemporary examples for my own history of fashion class.)
my sisters fashion brand: www.voriagh.com she is definitely inspired by victorian fashion. Her new collection is going to be online at the end of the month... she also has a blog, its http://tsukikoforvoriagh.com/ don't know if it can help... xoxo Olivia
John Galliano for Christian Dior Fall/Winter 2010 (can be seen at style.com), though the silhouette there is a tad more Edwardian than Victorian. However, I consider him to be a designer highly influenced by both Victorian and Edwardian fashion.
-Christian Lacroix (even look at his perfume, Absynthe inspired by the drink of poets and artists in 19th century Paris) -Jean Paul Gaultier Spring/Summer 2003; models wore 19th century hats; often cites this century in other collections as well -Christian Dior Spring 2010 -Also, totally agree with those who mentioned Vivienne Westwood.
Definitely Marc Jacobs Spring 2009 in his Mary Poppins phase. And even know - any designer doing the fitted waist, blousy top/strong shoulder silhouette.
I immediately thought of John Galliano and Vivienne Westwood. These two always borrow from the past in their collections. I found this article about bustles http://www.morbidoutlook.com/fashion/historical/2003_08_bustle.html which mentions both of those designers. The corset is another 19th century item that pops up a lot in modern designs.
oooo that dress makes me think of marc jacobs spring 2009 right away!!! puffy shoulders and tiny waistlines and sort of heavier fabrics. that'd be my suggestion!
Vivienne Westwood!

Marc Jacobs Spring 2009. Fitted waist detail, collared blouses, checkered patterns, strong shoulders. A really popular collection.
ReplyDeleteXOXO
I agree about the Marc Jacobs. What about Balmain with the strong shoulders and military detailing on the jacket?
ReplyDeleteMy first instinct was Nina Ricci.

Didn't Alexander Wang just do a show with swallow-tail jackets? Here's a video (a link to Preen, too).

wow! thanks everyone. I have another week to work on this, so if there's anymore suggestions I'd love to hear them.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for posting this!
What about the shoulders.. you know, the whole "strong shoulders" trend going on now, and with shoulder pads in the 80s?
ReplyDeletethis latest louis vuitton show - there's one dress that looks like it has a bodice
ReplyDeleteCurrent YSL ads for Spring/Summer 2010...you can totally see the influence in the shoulders etc.

I would 100% agree with Vivienne Westwood!
ReplyDeleteyes, westwood for sure but I'd say Chanel as well.
ReplyDeleteChristian Lacroix, Vivienne Westwood, Alexander Mcqueen (RIP, John Galliano
ReplyDeleteagree with baronessvonvintage
ReplyDeletedolce and gabanna fall 2009 would work perfectly
Olivier Theyskens!!! He did a futuristic Victorian collection with giant rubber skirts, corsets and bustles - divine!
