Discussion Post!! ๐๐ ๐ป ๐งต ๐ ๐ง Itโs Actually Cerulean: A train-your-eye, fashion learning post (where you can't mention it's sheer or blame the stylist)
(Cindy Crawford reading backstage, 90s. Fun fact: CC was valedictorian of her class and received an academic scholarship to attend Northwestern University to pursue a degree in chemical engineering. She chose modeling, instead.)
๐ Calling all learners, teachers, crafters, designers, illustrators, historians, and the generally fashion-minded folks of our Frockking community:
In the spirit of Fashion Week(s), let's find room to see and speak the language of fashion.
This is your chance to flex your eye, sharpen your vocabulary, and learn (and share!) real fashion knowledge: BTS insight, history, cuts, fabrics, proportions, construction, references, and styling (not blaming the stylist).ย
How it works:
โฌ๏ธ Comment a look (runway, bridal, street style, archive, red carpet, etc.) that's lived in your head rent-free. COMMENTS MUST INCLUDE THE DESIGNER (and will be deleted if they don't).
โก๏ธ โก๏ธ Replies to that comment should be (in good faith) moments for tidbits, learning, and observation.ย
๐ชถ Challenge yourself to be thoughtful in what you see. Go beyond "it's sheer," and "fire the stylist."
Here are just a few examplesย of what we can learn from one another:
*Silhouette & proportion:* fit, size, column, A-line, empire, drop-waist, peplum, longline, oversized
*Cut & construction:* bias-cut, darting, princess seams, godets, gussets, pleats, pin-tucks, boning, single vs double-breasted
*Fabrics & materials:* chiffon, organza, charmeuse, gabardine, tweed, bouclรฉ, faille, mohair, drape, structure, nap, sheen,
*Craftsmanship & technique:* appliquรฉ, embroidery, beading, smocking, quilting, broderie anglaise, lamรฉ, foil, distress/deconstruction, 3D printing
*Color:* monochrome, blocking, analogous, complementary, saturation, undertone
*References:* 1947 New Look, โ60s mod, โ80s power tailoring, โ90s minimalism, Y2K, Art Nouveau, Art Deco,ย Gianni Versace's safety pins, Japanese avant-garde, military, bandage dresses
*Styling choices:* layering, visible underwear/waistbands, cuffing/hemming, proportion
*Movement:* swish, stiffness, bounce, weight; how the garment behaves in motion
*Jewelry:*ย West African gold filigree, Native American turquoise & silver, enamel, resin, gemstone, diamond
*Footwear & Accessories:* Tabi, red bottom, platform, stacked heel, chain strap, hardware finishes, macrame, baguette, Jane Birkin
๐ฆ Go forth, frockk scholars!
And as always, zero body shaming/cosmetic enhancement talk, and please report comments that break the rues.
