On my recent trip back to Atlanta, Jenni and I decided to check out the High Museum and there happened to be a new fashion collection - Iris van Herpen: Transforming Fashion - on display. Our second that was also totally unplanned (after the Dior exhibit in Seoul)!
Van Herpen is known for her futuristic creations made out of non-traditional materials such as fiberglass and 3D printing! Still, each piece looked extremely light and moveable and fluid, not pieced together. Each one of her collections has a complex theme such as "Cabriole," "Voltage," and "Biopiracy," that conjures up even more imagination and self-reflection.
Some of my favorite works:
The skeleton dress from "Escapism"
Water cape from "Crystallization"
From "Voltage"
Also from "Voltage." This beautifully picked up pieces of light from all angles.
From "Magnetic Motion." Up close, even more stunning like moving icicles.

I met Madison on the second to last day of finals season. I was impressed in how she kept put-together and creative with her outfit and hair, even while everyone else was stressing out in sweatpants. She said dressing nicely helped her study - I imagine it puts you in a more serious state of mind.
I really liked her mix of colors, subtle pattern combination, and cute proportions - none of which compete with each other.

This dress showed me the ever importance of tailoring - I didn't have time to go and take it in at the straps so I had to wear a cami underneath, but it still bulged a bit in the back and I had to adjust myself every once in awhile. Such little things make big differences.

I visited SCAD to take pictures with Peter for another of his photography assignments. There were also a lot of really cool art installments on display that were created by students for various other concentrations and classes as well. I took pictures of the fashion related ones. Unfortunately these didn't have plaques with artist credit!
I think this is called color theory (and probably pattern theory too). These two squares were my favorite.
On my visit to Emory's Michael Carlos Museum, I saw some displays which showed some fashion elements. This was a South American modern textile.
I was amazed by the beautiful intricacy of the ancient jewelry, particularly of the Ancient Romans and Greeks. I somehow didn't take pictures of the ones with gemstones... I could totally imagine wearing some of these pieces now. Imagine how breathtaking they must have been when worn with traditional garments!
The statues also showed beautiful draping and sculptured hairstyles (literally and historically... haha)
These were actually made out of a papier mache medium of some sort.
