ok so do we wanna start saying what we wrote about in the 800 word article?? :biggrin:

I will start by saying.....

drum rolls please...... :colone:

...

Ok so I wrote about how androgyny and masculine/feminine silhouettes influence the fashion industry through the ages so I started with a bit of history and then went on to talk about androgynous shapes and how women and men borrow styles from each other..

I really hope I was original and wrote something interesting and unique...what did you guys write about?

That's interesting! He provoked everyone by timing to debut his collection in London right on the last day of LCM! But I like Galliano despite his behaviour few years back

i love the androgyny idea! i focused on Oscar Wilde's art or life riddle and looked at smart tech, CDG, McQueen, Owens, Margiela/ Galliano and Chalayan so it wasn't focused on one particular design house or theme but i think i may of done the wrong thing now...

That's true but I Love Galliano he is a genius and I have the same passion for the 18th century like he does and all his theatrical fashion appearances lol... I do also think he was stupid and drunk to say such things in public but still no one can deny a genius like him lol! Yes he is human and everyone in life deserves a second chance lol

Thanks! I just picked on androgyny because it seemed to match the contemporary fashion mood I think.. Not sure if I got it right but I hope it's good enough.. I am sure you did a great job on your article don't worry :smile:

I don't think there's anything 'wrong' seeing as the brief was so vague. They'll love anything original and well written. It sounds like you've done the right thing to me :smile:

I talked about racism in fashion.. All of your articles have really good themes and the one on androgyny sounds so interesting!

it's good to be provocative and include controversial subjects I think.. Plus they were so vague with the brief they want to see what type of work we produced 😥😥

Although I thought his own S/S15 collection was kinda genius using the concept of must have trainers like stan smiths and fly knits as inspiration. I'm not the biggest Wang fan, but I couldn't deny that he did fashion up good clothing in 2008/9/10. As for Balenciaga...well no one really mentions it now. Everyone is looking at Louis Vuitton because of Nicholas
