SCAD Museum: Carla Fernández

I meant to post this information a few months ago and somehow was delayed. The texture and creativity interwoven into this clothing is absolutely stunning.

Upon arriving in Savannah, one of the first stops was to the SCAD {Savannah College of Art & Design} museum to see the Carla Fernández exhibit “Think Twice”, she’s a fashion designer from Saltillo, Coahuila who gained international recognition for precise documentation and preservation of the rich textile heritage of Mexico’s indigenous groups.

These pieces were reinterpreted for the André Leon Talley Gallery with Fernández’s recent pieces, videos and a specially commissioned floral intervention by Flores Cosmos.

Carla Fernández’s pieces have been featured in Elle, Vogue, i-D, Wallpaper*, T: The New York Times Style Magazine and the Los Angeles Times.

Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams

 


In London, the Victoria and Albert Museum is the world’s leading museum of art, design and performance. Objects span over 5,000 years of human creativity with resources for the study of architecture, furniture, fashion, textiles, photography, sculpture, Asian art, theater and performance.

Our team went to the Christian Dior exhibit which spans from 1947 to the present, and Dior was one of the most influential couturiers of the 20thcentury with an influential fashion house.

Dior’s sketches were absolutely elegant and he stated “I think of my work as ephemeral architecture, dedicated to the beauty of the female body”. Anchored by the curves of a woman’s figure Dior’s designs played with structure and proportion to create clothes that powerfully expressed attitude!!!
