Fashion Show 2012

  Since it's been more than a month since the Fashion Show actually happened, I would like to get over and done with it. So, let's go a little overview of the catwalk. All the lovely photo used here were taken by the photographer who was probably an art teacher... and everything's been put in chronological order


Before we start... I have a confession... well not really a confession, if you're smart you probably noticed already. I WASN'T THERE. So most of the groups I don't even know about but I did see the program once so i'll probably remember 1 name or 2. 


Now, you can enjoy !

So... Of course, I don't know the name of this group but I believe it was something similar to "Mille et une nuits" or something... I just really the creativity and courage it took the girl in the middle to walk down in a bra in front of parents, teacher and students... So props for that. I don't why but for some reason I am quite in love with that elephant dress I just think it's really funny and well done !

Ah-ha! That one I know ! My amazing friend Eloise was in that group. They are "Suits". They all had suits but with a little twist. I really think they did a great job and didn't take themselves too seriously. Both in their clothes and choreography, they knew how to all this with humour. They just make me envy them so much, I wish I had been there just to have seen them have fun on stage. When I first saw Xenia's suit, (in the middle) I would never have thought that they would have a fun show like this ! It's basically a classic shirt with a spider web cutout on the back and others on the sleeves. Max's suit is just hilarious, nothing else to say. And I love the sheer details and all that patchworking on Eloise's suit (left). Plus...the little tatoos they had on their feet are just adorable !

This one is "Life in Technicolor". I remember seeing the name on the program and wondering who they were. I really liked those dresses that are more like wearable dresses. I don't mean I would wear that anyway but they are closer to the "wearability" standards of some brands' catwalks. I think my favourite dresses are the gold and yellow ones just because they're short and well... I'm too short for anything longer than that ! 

 What I really appreciate about this group as a whole, is that they kept the designs continuous and obviously related. The same pattern is repeated more or less on the dresses and it just looks more like a "collection" rather than just a bunch of dress-up characters put together on stage.

The group "Gods fun and games" was quite surprising, I must say. I didn't really see the relation until I heard Maia (middle girl) talk about elements and fire and all that. Now it all seems clearer but still... what are the statues doing here ? I still think the dresses were quite well made although I don't think there was a lot of making/sewing. However, I didn't find a picture of JC who, I think, was supposed to be like supreme god with his face painted gold and wearing a big roman robe. T

And I present you my lovely little "Kids" ! I was so disappointed not to see them on stage... I already knew the dresses obviously since I helped for Clara's (candy) and had seen Julia's before (scoubidou) and of course, had seen all of them together backstage. I know Julia was worried that her dress wouldn't stand out as much as the others as they really had statement dresses. But I really like the vintage feel of the thick white fabric and the scoubidous hanging like a 30's flapper dress. As for the other ones, they really were all unique and sweet. I was really surprised to discover Muriel's (cards) and I was in awe when I saw those giant cards used as a skirt. That was really smart, so props for that ! Natasha's (crayons) was in the same spirit with those big colouring papers on her dress. It's really too bad you can't see Helen's, I'll try to find a good picture of it for you. It's basically a maxi dress with clusters of legos... She looked gorgeous in that dress.

That's really embarrassing... I have absolutely no idea what those are from and I don't even know if they're from the same group... but I have to say, if I get my hands on those shorts the ... ravioli girl (let's just call her that, her top looks too much like a korean ravioli) was wearing, I am not letting go !

The "Beauty and the beast" ! Those were amazing dresses, I mean, you can see how much effort and work they put it those dresses. I particularly like the twins's dresses (far left and far right) for some reason. Julia's rose dress is an obvious choice, she looks like such a princess in that dress but I also love Margot's I think her dress falls really nicely and fits her... like a glove ! To see Eleonore's impressive gold dress, scroll all the way down, you'll see a picture of the group. She's the one in the middle.

 I wouldn't want to say something silly... but I think this group is "N*ggas in Paris" or New York or something... I must say that I would wear everything (well maybe not that basketball shirt) but ... something kind of bothers me. I'm not that any of those pieces were actually made... and the fashion show is really about making not styling... So either they did a great, professional job or they just wore their own clothes which isn't really in line with the spirit of the show.

I really couldn't be less sure of their name but I'll have a guess... "roots"? or "evolution" ? No, I don't think they were evolution... Anyway, I really enjoy discovering those ! I mean the baby dress is Gaga-esque, I'm speechless. As for the transparent-flowery dress, I think it's absolutely brilliant ! So great work anonymous group !
c

Those "Wedding" dress are impressive ! I hate to say I have a favourite... but I just have to. Esther, your 'natural' gown is wonderful ! And green really compliments you so I expect you to be wearing this on your wedding day ! Well... maybe not but I still love it !

The lace detailing and the immaculate white are really good choices as well.

                   

Olympics !! I would've been surprised not to see this theme this year ! London is the host city after all, isn't it ? Those dresses looked amazing and so joyful ! I think they won the Fashion Show and they really did deserve it. They all looked amazing in those colours and that flag dress hmmm... is it on sale ?

Alrighty... well I have no idea hat this group is but I'm guessing it's something about war... Yes, yes even you could see that I don't need to tell you. But Really great outfits, girls ! Ripped fabric, messy tulle, splatters and bullets... Everything's there, nothing to add. Perfect catlwalk !

"Alice in Wonderland" ! Not only are the dresses very cool and the Mad Hatter absolutely hilarious, but THEY USED A REMIX OF ALICE BY POGO. So there, nothing to add. The music is the detail that won me over.

"New York New York" ? Is that the name of the group ? Well does it really matter anyway ? No, it really doesn't every single dress from the building to the yellow cab is remarkable. Really well though of and I would totally wear that Statue of Liberty frock ! Again, I have to say I have a favourite. That witty taxi cab dress is just dreamy. Too bad yellow doesn't compliment my oh-so yellow face...

4 Seasons ! The obvious theme actually impressed me. When I read that name on the programme, I just really thought it was such a common, dull theme it couldn't be good. Well, I was wrong ! Well done girls for these fiery gowns !

Little bonus pictures that represent the bubbly atmosphere at the catwalk... Really wish I was there !
