the back of that dress is my favorite part, SO cool

@Weesperbuurt 3 года назад

Amazing work and imagination! Zips at the shoulders, lots of bones....although I have a bone and a seam to pick. The dress was actually made by highly-skilled seamstresses whose knowledge, experience, ingenuity, suggestions and trial and error were just as important but who were paid little and worked long hours. The unsung heroes of fashion.

@scarletpimpernelagain9124 3 года назад

Agree, Schiaparelli did not stitch any part of that dress and to ignore that just demonstrates that the curator may know her art history but has a very class ridden attitude towards it. Highly irritating.

@@scarletpimpernelagain9124 oh come on now when we speak of movies we speak about the Director. guess what? there are scores of people who work on a film including the screenwriter who actuality came up with the story that the director gets credit for. same with designers. no one thinks Zac Posen is sitting alone sewing the garments. but it’s his design.

SO happy to finally be able to see this dress in greater detail! I discussed this dress at length in one of my classes and was only really able to catch bits and pieces of this remarkable design from my internet sleuthing.

I used to wear a vintage pea coat with a properly wiiide collar, & it always felt *great* to pop that up for a dose of good Nosferatu style... worked a treat on really cold nights to boot!

zippers always remind me of backbones; I can't imagine a better dress to use them.

Actually it looks odd to us, but when zips came to be around the 30s were considered a novelty item and so they feature front and centre on more than one dainty dress!

I love Schiaparelli's designs, and I appreciate the art of Dali, but I have issues with his politics. Just saying...

@scarletpimpernelagain9124 3 года назад

You and me both! It’s odd to me how he could be brilliantly visually imaginative yet so lacking in empathy - high functioning autism perhaps? ( Rhetorical question NOT a statement) although I have yet to see this suggested anywhere in the literature.

@curiousworld7912 3 года назад

@@scarletpimpernelagain9124 I don't know - but I do know that he was, shall we say, a bit too supportive of fascist ideals, which Surrealism was a total rejection of.

Honestly the way she can't pronounce the names correctly takes me from the fantasy.

@stardresser1 Год назад

She is. It is absolutely correct

@Beregorn88 Год назад

Now, if only she put the same effort in pronouncing "Schiaparelli" correctly...

@stardresser1 Год назад

That is how the name is pronounced. Always has been.

@Beregorn88 Год назад

@@stardresser1as an Italian I can guarantee you that it is not: what she is saying is "Scapareli", not "Schiaparelli"

Ummm.... any other sewists and art history people out there scratching their heads at this fairly garbage presentation? I know most curator hires are cronyist/nepotistic these days, but man, these videos are really showing the arse of that process. I'm surprised they're happy to do them, because if this was my level of expertise in a paid position, I'd keep that on the down low.
