…’cuán necesaria es la Historia y la investigación de la vestimenta, para comprender los códigos de los diseñadores en la actualidad.’

Palabra clave: código.

Código y contexto, dos conceptos que hay que tener en cuenta.

Sin duda hay una voluntad didáctica en la curaduría de estas exposiciones y una voluntad analítica del sistema de los signos de comunicación de la moda, sus modos de producción, de funcionamiento y recepción. Este análisis semiológico enriquece la presentación con una dimensión didáctica.

En estas exposiciones hay siempre un contexto histórico y es precisamente este contexto el que le confiere tanto valor a las exposiciones del ‘Costume Institute’ del Museo Metropolitano de Nueva York.

Mientras leía los comentarios con respecto a este modelo de Galliano, homenaje a la técnica constructiva del modelaje y la Alta Costura del diseñador….pensaba en la necesidad de acompañar estas muestras con parte de la historia que hace sentido al ensayo del diseño….en otras palabras….cuán necesaria es la Historia y la investigación de la vestimenta, para comprender los códigos de los diseñadores en la actualidad.
Esto ayudaría a reconocer las fuentes de inspiración y a salir de la mera cuestión de si es bueno o malo…me gusta o no me gusta……aquí el receptor necesita la información que trasciende al modelo y dá sentido al diseño.

“The dress that fell down was so funny, because it doesn’t look like a dress should fall down!!!!”

I believe this dress is beautiful because of its image of construction. John Galliano’s approach to the piece is out of the box and shows us the simple construction and structure of a cultural piece, the dress. The small details on this piece is also missed, but when we study it we can see the true beauty in it.

I believe this dress is a very interesting piece. It tells a story in itself. Normally we only see the end product rather than a work in progress. This dress shows both.

I was drawn to this dress because I am trying to learn dressmaking. It makes me think that if a dress designed to look like the under structure of a garment can be so beautiful, what would it look like if it was fully realized? Sometimes the insides of things are a lot more fascinating than the outside!

Beautiful and interesting - but did we really need three pieces from John Galliano? I guess the clients are wearing their Ralph Rucci’s . . .

I like the color combination. It’s a nice dress. Still, Galliano could’ve added more flairto the top. I think that if he added a little ribbon to the top, it would be more sophistocated. And, a slightly longer train, and I would wear that dress in a second.

Me and my two friends were joking around making fun if this dress by saying ity looked like someone pinned some fabric together and said “there…its a dress” but it is far from that it like total ugh
