MY MEMORY HAS JUST BEEN SOLD – E. MUNSON HEADCANONS

𖥻 summary: a few headcanons about this concept about rockstar!eddie. 𖥻 pairing: rockstar!eddie munson x model!reader. 𖥻 warnings: fluffy ig. not proofread.

💭 liv's thoughts: i can't stop thinking about this so i developed the few ideas i had!! totally gonna write more about this later lmao. i hope you like it! oh, i just posted my 900 followers celebration, so feel free to join!

DO NOT INTERACT WITH THIS WORK IF YOU'RE UNDER SIXTEEN.

🎸ㆍBeing just another girl from the small and narrow-minded town of Hawkins, you were never much ambitious about your own dreams, trying to keep them as down-to-Earth as possible. But now you can't help but be amazed at how far you've come as you stare at the February issue of Sports Illustrated magazine with your picture on the cover. 

🎸ㆍAll the stress you felt while posing in that sparkly and very itchy bikini was worth it, you recognize now. You don't think you've ever looked this good in your entire life, and it was certainly the achievement of all your past daydreams. 

🎸ㆍYou have done a few photoshoots throughout your life, but none felt this real or this big. Those small TV commercials and good-girl ads on the interior pages of Seventeen Magazine had nothing on this. The cover meant you were in the same category as the other recognizable names in the industry, and your agent made sure that your gigs were on that level, too: editorials for Vogue, New York, Milan, and Paris Fashion Week, meetings with Gianni Versace and Todd Oldham. 

🎸ㆍYou were getting big, and your lifestyle grew bigger with you. After establishing yourself in Los Angeles your routine consisted of trips to New York, couture fittings, photoshoots, parties until early in the morning, and repeat. Sleep was important, too, though it was never your top priority. 

🎸ㆍEvery time you were out doing something impressive, like getting your pictures taken by Steven Meisel on top of Brooklyn Bridge, wearing only a Chanel gown and no shoes, a little voice in the back of your mind wondered what your friends back in Hawkins might be thinking of you now. 

🎸ㆍIn all honesty, you were never popular, like Steve Harrington or Cindy Cunningham. You have always kept a girl-next-door profile, being nice to everyone who decided to talk to you, but also preferring the company of your intimate circle of friends and staying in, instead of attending those big High School parties. So, you can only imagine their surprise to find out that the model in one of those magazines is you. If they even care. 

🎸ㆍYou just never expected to be answered by bumping into a very familiar face at the Rainbow, on one of your nights out with your LA friends. Sunset Strip was about a mile long, and yet, you two had met again as you were passing by to get back to your table. 

🎸ㆍ"Hey, hotshot," Eddie Munson greeted you with a playful smile, his big brown eyes drifting down your figure before settling on yours. He hasn't changed at all. Long dry hair, slightly flushed cheeks, and that same mischievous gleam in his eyes. He wore his old jean vest, the one with the metal bands patches. The only thing that was different was his new shiny leather jacket, which glowed under the bar's yellow lights. 

🎸ㆍThen, you go to sit at his table, where the rest of his band was. Corroded Coffin was grabbing headlines everywhere in the country, mainly because of their new approach to Metal, composing elaborate guitar riffs and melodic choruses, making commercial music but with that underground edge. But also because of their Dungeons and Dragons inspired songs, which weren't well received by the older audience and labeled as Satanic. Because of this, their albums all have the increasingly popular 'Parents Advisory' sticker. 

🎸ㆍThey are also known to make Nerd-Metal music, which was a genre specifically created to describe their music. Just one album out and they're already infamous. 

🎸ㆍAs far as you remember, Eddie Munson already had a reputation for himself back at home, but now that he had one hundred percent surrendered to the rockstar lifestyle, his notoriety was unprecedented. He was in every music magazine, every TV channel and everyone seems to know who he is – something that he handles more gracefully than you thought he would. Eddie seems to really like the attention. 

🎸ㆍWell, next thing you know, you're standing at the side stage of Corroded Coffin's gig at The Troubadour, and Eddie merrily walks up to you holding a backstage pass. I believe it's needless to say that this was the first of many passes to come.

🎸ㆍThe beginning of your relationship wasn't easy at all, given your busy schedules. It seemed like whenever you had free time, he had an interview; or when he could spend the entire day at his hotel room, hanging out, you had to leave for another tiring photoshoot. It took a long while until you figured out how to make things work. 

🎸ㆍBut you have to admit that those late-night escapades to his rented room in Chateau Marmont are forever engraved in your mind. Besides the endless partying, there was nothing better than laying on Eddie's side while he lazily played guitar for you, as you shared one of those long lounging chairs by the hotel's poolside. 🎸ㆍHe swears he had never written as many songs as he did when you did that. The thought of you, laying so gracefully on that chair with the sun coming up above you, on the horizon… man, it inspires him to the max. 

🎸ㆍTogether, you started to build the reputation of an it-couple, or whatever those teenage magazines say about you. All you know is that his fans also became your fans, especially the young girls. Suddenly, it was like Corroded Coffin's concert audiences became a sea of mini-yous – wearing clothes reminiscent of your style, haircuts similar to yours, eyeliner just as smokey.

🎸ㆍAppearing on the cover of gossip magazines started to be normal for the two of you. People would start the most outlandish rumors about your relationship, and according to the issues, you got married exactly ten times throughout 1994.

🎸ㆍBut your rising fame as a couple also brought the most recognized campaign of your career so far: the Guess Jeans advertisement you shot walking through West Hollywood, just living another normal day of your lives – well, with constant wardrobe changes. There were a bunch of really good pictures, like the one of you in all-denim at a record store, holding Corroded Coffin's new album; one where Eddie is sitting on top of a random motorcycle (he tried to buy it off the owner on the spot, but the offer was rejected) with his usual jeans and leather jacket combo; and finally, one of you two walking on Hollywood's Walk of Fame. His arm is thrown on top of your shoulders as you hold his hand, and the picture captures your matching boots perfectly. 

🎸ㆍEddie requests for that photo to be printed on a big canvas so that he could hang it up on his living room wall, and it's his main decor item ♡

1997 Fashion Big Bang

exhibition Palais Galliera, Paris 2023

From 7 March to 16 July 2023, the Palais Galliera is organising an exhibition focusing on the year 1997, a watershed year in the history of contemporary fashion. 1997 was both a high point of 1990s fashion and the gateway to the new millennium. It brought a flurry of collections, shows, new appointments, openings and events that defined the fashion scene as we know it today. Such was its impact that 1997 can be thought of as the launching pad for 21st century fashion. 1997 was notable for a number of emblematic collections: bodies deformed by Comme des Garçons with the Body Meets Dress, Dress Meets Body collection, Martin Margiela’s conceptualised garments in the Stockman collection, and Raf Simons’s redefinition of the canons of male beauty in the Black Palms collection. The magazine Vogue Paris defined the 1997 Spring-Summer haute couture season as the ‘Big Bang’ that Paris needed in order to regain its place as the international capital of fashion in an era of economic crisis and intense global competition. But there’s no denying that 1997 was a vintage year. It saw the arrival in haute couture of star designers from the 1980s, such as Jean Paul Gaultier and Thierry Mugler, while the legendary French fashion houses were taken over by a new generation of British designers, with Alexander McQueen at Givenchy and John Galliano at Christian Dior.

The globalisation of fashion gathered pace, foreshadowing the 2000s and 2010s. Young, little-known artistic directors rose to prominence, either on their own or at the head of major fashion houses: Hedi Slimane, Stella McCartney, Nicolas Ghesquière, Olivier Theyskens – names that are still shaping fashion today. A whole series of events marked the beginning of the new era: the concept store Colette opened and stayed at the epicentre of fashion for the next 20 years. But also, that same year, the world of fashion was shaken by the tragic death of Gianni Versace. The chronological layout of the exhibition features over 50 silhouettes from the Palais Galliera collections, along with loans from museums and international collectors and fashion houses. And it also includes videos and some outstanding archive documents. The exhibition 1997 Fashion Big Bang is an invitation to discover or to relive key events from this ‘explosive’ year in fashion history.

Hey I'm sorry if this is a strange question but say someone was looking for good Italian outfits for characters. Do you have any suggestions of where someone should look?

It's Haute Couture Time!

Since our Hiroiko Araki took inspo from High Fashion, I think we can also do the same with our characters! (Almost every brand I'm gonna quote in this post is already being used in Stone Ocean.)

This is a top 10 of Italian Brands that I love and cherish:

1. GUCCI

"The way you dress is really the way you feel, the way you live, what you read, your choices. That's what I want to put into Gucci."

Alessandro Michele

Back in 1921, Guccio Gucci founds a small suitcase company in Florence, Italy. Gucci came up with many iconic products: from the bamboo-handled handbag, the buckled belt, to the ever -present mocassino. Today, the iconic interlocking GG logo is not just the emblem of a haute couture brand, but is also the archetype of Italy's fashion culture and history. No other brand holds the same fame as Gucci, but more importantly, no other brand holds a special place in the heart of Italian culture like Gucci does.

2. Versace

"There is a Versace who is very conservative, there is a Versace who is very crazy, there is a Versace who is very theatre … I haven’t decided yet which I choose to be."

Gianni Versace

Created in 1978 by Gianni Versace, Versace is the epitome of luxury among Italian clothing brands. This brand most distinctive features are bright colors, exuberant graphics and audacious designs. The choice to use 'Medusa' in the logo is certainly not accidental: the Greek mythological character is in fact the symbol of intriguing beauty, seduction, and strength.

3. Prada

"What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today when human contacts go so fast. Fashion is instant language."

Miuccia Prada

Prada started as a luxury leather luggage brand. Founded in 1913 by Mario Prada, the company became the official supplier to the King of Italy in 1919 ( the iconic knotted rope framing the Prada logo is actually a symbol of the House of Savoy). Prada is an expression of timeless elegance. Nowadays, Prada's fashion collections are characterized by flashy colors, patterns and designs, an eccentricity that is always balanced by the brand's unmistakable class.

4.Miu Miu

Miu Miu was founded in 1993 by Miuccia Prada as a branch of the famous Prada fashion house. The brand is often defined as the young and exuberant yin to Prada's timeless and legendary yang.

Known for its ready-to-wear and handbag collections, the brand is never short on color and energy. Miu Miu eccentric style is characterized by unconventional clothing, shoes, handbags, jewelry, eyewear fragrances all enveloped in a whirlwind of colors.

5.Fendi

"My mother, a hard worker and a woman of great taste, was the soul of the company and immediately entrusted us with the entire business, but she kept control of everything (...) She always told us we could only be mistaken once, not twice."

Anna Fendi

Founded in 1925 by husband and wife Edoardo and Adele, Fendi is universally acclaimed as the foremost authority in fur production. In nearly a century of history, the brand has become a symbol of artisan creativity, which is lived out today in a modern key in its lines of clothing, leather goods, footwear and accessories.

6.Emporio Armani

"When I started Giorgio Armani in the mid-'70s, I realized that women needed a way to dress that was equivalent to that of men - something that would give them dignity, an attitude that would help them handle their work life."

Giorgio Armani

Giorgio Armani's name immediately evokes images of elegant black suits, shiny leather pants and the tasteful extravagance that only Italian clothing brands can create. In 1975, Armani founds of his fashion empire, rooting his design vision in ordinary people and street style. Today the brand has created multiple lines, including Emporio Armani, Armani Exchange, EA7 and Armani Jeans.

7.Valentino

"I know what women want. They want to be beautiful."

Valentino Garavani

After studying fashion in Paris, Valentino Garavani travels back to Rome in 1960 to open his own fashion house. Valentino is a synthesis of the grandiose and opulent nature of Parisian fashion houses with an Italian twist.

Valentino's name is associated with the shade of red used in most of his clothes, so much so that he was referred to as 'Valentino Red.'

8.Dolce e Gabbana

"Italians know that what matters is style, not fashion. Italian style does not have social or age boundaries."

Stefano Gabbana

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana are regarded as the inventors of the so-called Mediterranean style. Since its foundation in 1985, the Dolce & Gabbana company has experienced continuous expansion, becoming a recognized and influential presence in the universe of luxury brands. Contrast is an inexhaustible source of stimulation and inspiration for the brand and manifests itself in a style that reconciles luxury and urban fashion, tradition and research, excess and rigor, dream and reality.

9.Bottega Veneta

A specialist in luxury leather goods and accessories, the Bottega Veneta brand was created in 1966 by Michele Taddei and Renzo Zengiaro.

The brand is arguably best known for its "woven" leather, a handcrafted technique that crosses leather or suede to create a textured checkerboard pattern.

10. Moschino

"Good taste doesn't exist. It is our taste. We should be proud of it."

Franco Moschino

Founded in 1983 by Franco Moschino, the Italian brand has profoundly influenced the evolution of contemporary fashion. Deviating from the classic vision of fashion elegance, the brand embraced popular culture and everyday iconography: pop art, comic books, and plush were among its sources of inspiration. Its all-over print jeans, flashy graphics, and large logos made the connection between high fashion and urban culture.

Author's note and personal opinion under the cut:

I personally recommend to look up Gucci current collections and Versace 90's couture for some extravagant and jojoesque choices. Moschino is also good, and it's even an affordable brand!

[warwickroyals]

have any of the warwick ladies (or men!) started any fashion trends over the years, whether in sunderland or beyond?

That's a really good question, anon! You know how much I love fashion questions. I think I'm just going to list the royals and the popular fashion trends they influenced. Many royal women were influneced by Paris fashion trends, but through their own style they often influenced what was popular in Sunderland and some even gained international recognition in the 20th century:

QUEEN ANNE (1887 - 1973): Louis's grandmother Queen Anne was known for being more conservative in her dress. She also only had one primary dressmaker for most of her life, something that wasn't typical for most royal consorts. Anne never rocked the boat, but became an icon of sorts for more conservative minded women, who perfered her modest fashion. Her fashion was highly-tailored, and often monocrhome. In the 1920s, Anne despised many of the fashion trends coming from Paris. She forbid her ladies-in-waiting from bobbing their hair and she sound the flapper aesthtic to be extremely vuglar and "boyish". In her later life, Anne often wore pleated skirks and blouses, stlyed with fur trim and pearls.

QUEEN KATHERINE (1921 - 2018): Katherine was a stark contrast to Anne in many, many ways. Following WWII, there was a "return" of high fashion and Katherine was extremely interested. She invested heavily in evening gowns and dresses from Dior and Balenciaga, think Evita meets Princess Margaret. In her early days as Queen, she wore sweeping longer skirts with fitted waists and wide-brimmed hats. However, by the 60s she favoured a more structured look made up of suit sets, pillbox hats, and geometric silhouettes, very similar to the style of Jacqueline Kennedy.

QUEEN IRENE (1951 -): I've talked a lot about Irene's fashion HERE, so I won't rehash any of that, but Irene has been an enduring fashion icon on an international level. She took Katherine introducing haute couture and ran with it, although they often quarrelled over fashion since Katherine hated when Irene "overshadowed" her. Irene was also a symbol of changing times: she was the first royal consort to be seen wearing pants often, and she was also the first to be seen wearing a bikini and shorts (the horror!!!)

PRINCESS JAQUELINE (1977 -): Jaqueline was the cloest thing the royals had to a 90s It Girl. She was tall, blonde, and extremely skinny. She also inherited her grandmother's taste for Dior, while also rubbing up to Gianni and Donatella Versace furing her frequent stints in Paris and Milan. She was very glamours and prefered her things that were extremely form-fiting and feminine. Her fashion was often cause for controversy, espically when she wore mini skirts and slip dresses. Her casual fashion resembled that of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and her glamour was often compared to that of Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss. She also was inflenced by her mother, although they were often at odds when it came to fashion.

THE MEN: Men's fashion, especially for male members of the royal family is extremely cookie-cutter. Throughout the decades men stuck to suits, jeans, button-up shirts, and khakis with slight variations based on the decade. It didn't help that Louis cares less about fashion than any other person on earth. He wore fannel in the 60s because his brother told him to, and he only started wearing jeans because Irene complained that he was too "formal", constantly wearing slacks to casual events.

“Ricerche di stile”: la mostra degli Archivi Mazzini sui percorsi della creatività 

Ogni volta che la moda va in mostra è un’occasione preziosa: è come se si aprissero delle finestre nuove su valori e concetti fino a quel momento rimasti silenti, ma che invece è cosa buona e giustissima conoscere, per riallacciare i fili di una narrazione più ampia che spesso ha a che fare con la società che cambia, il gusto che evolve, i guizzi d’ingegno che sorgono. Ci sono occasioni in cui la moda va in mostra proprio per tessere racconti che diventano un richiamo ancor più forte ad andare oltre la superficie estetica, un invito a prendere parte alla rivelazione di un percorso solitamente nascosto agli occhi di chi non è parte integrante del mestiere. 

È proprio questa la dichiarazione d’intenti sottesa a “Ricerche di stile”: la mostra che ha come protagonisti i famosi Archivi Mazzini ed il settecentesco Palazzo Tozzoni. 

Fissiamo subito le informazioni basilari. Quando? Dallo scorso primo dicembre al prossimo 28 febbraio. Dove? Nel cuore di Imola. Grazie a chi? Grazie alla Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Imola in collaborazione con i Musei Civici di Imola – Assessorato alla cultura… e naturalmente alla passione instancabile degli Archivi di Ricerca Mazzini di Massa Lombarda. Perché? Eh, è da questa domanda che la suddetta dichiarazione d’intenti spalanca le porte di vari mondi ricchi di cultura, suggestione… e bellezza, ça va sans dire! La mostra, per l’appunto, non basta definirla una sorta di sfilata da contemplare, non è sufficiente pensarla come una grande lezione sulla storia del costume. 

La mostra “Ricerche di Stile” va ben oltre i confini disciplinari: li intreccia, li confronta, li fonde, e ne crea un racconto delle infinite visioni e suggestioni di cui da sempre si nutre la creatività, in particolare quella che da forma al mondo della moda. Un aspetto, questo, di cui gli Archivi di Ricerca Mazzini sono testimoni d’onore da lungo tempo: gli oltre 400.000 capi, che coprono un arco di ottant’anni di storia di moda e costume, e che abitano i loro spazi, accolgono creativi, designer, stilisti, i quali lì vanno a nutrire l’ispirazione e lo studio meticoloso dei dettagli da cui formeranno le proprie creazioni. Di questo vastissimo patrimonio, Carla Marangoni e Attilio Mazzini hanno selezionato 150 abiti, che son stati messi in dialogo virtuoso e bellissimo con le stanze ricche d’arte e di storia del Palazzo Tozzoni. 

Un vero percorso della creatività che si svela passo passo: la mostra mette in luce il fascino che le creazioni d’artista, è davvero il caso di dirlo, appartenenti a svariati decenni fa, ancora regalano a chi sa goderne, assieme agli spunti di ricerca che ancora offrono, all’abilità che tuttora serbano di saper trasformare un iconico capo storico in un oggetto del desiderio contemporaneo.

Facendone un tour ideale, ecco quel che s’incontra lungo il cammino: Miyake, Fortuny e Jil Sander aprono la mostra nell’elegante salone d’onore, i sontuosi abiti di Romeo Gigli allacciano l’ispirazione etnica ai decori dorati dell’appartamento barocchetto, le sculture couture di Maurizio Galante coabitano con i mobili dai grandi volumi dell’appartamento impero, la leggerezza dei vestiti da ballo di Yohji Yamamoto e Jean Paul Gaultier danzano nella sala della musica, i corpetti opera di vari stilisti sedotti dalla biancheria intima sono esposti tra gli oggetti per l’igiene personale degli antichi abitanti. E ancora, la loggia luminosa accoglie la moda floreale tra cui il costume da bagno anni Quaranta di Elsa Schiaparelli, nella cucina si trovano le creazioni geniali di Issey Miyake, mentre nelle cantine inebriate dal profumo di vino si trovano i capi Stone Island ispirati alle divise da lavoro. 

E la meraviglia continua a perdersi felice tra gli ambienti del palazzo percorsi dagli abiti di Valentino, Callaghan, Marni, Roberto Capucci, John Galliano, Gianni Versace, Prada, Vivien Westwood, Martin Margiela, Monica Bolzoni, Junya Watanabe, Comme des Garcons e delle sorelle Fontana. Fino a giungere nella sede della Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Imola, al Centro Gianni Isola, che ospita gli abiti dell’Archivio Mazzini selezionati per la copertina dell’ultimo disco di Mina e Celentano “Le migliori”, dove spiccano l’abito di carta anni ’60 di Harry Gordon con stampata la poesia di Allen Ginsberg e due giacche di Yohji Yamamoto ispirate da dipinti di Joan Mirò.

The 1970s - part 3

Punk

Punk fashion originated in the late 70s. Punk rock stripped rock and roll back to its foundations. The punk ethos is primarily made up of beliefs such as non-conformity, anti-authoritarianism, a do-it-yourself ethic, anti-consumerist, anti-corporate greed, direct action, and not "selling out". The clothing represented a darker and harsher view of reality.

Vivienne Westwood’s controversial ‘Destroy’ T-shirt, 1977. The Destroy T- shirt was meant to be an angry condemnation towards government, religion and fascism.

English punk icons Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren opened the infamous SEX / Seditionaries shop on Kings Road and ultimately deconstructed British fashion, mixing X-rated silk screens, bondage gear, vinyl, rubber and safety pins with iconic English fashions such as plaid kilts and tight stovepipe trousers.

In America, The punk style was more laid back and not as exaggerated as it was in England. It was amplified by bands such as the Ramones, Blondie, and Richard Hell and the Voidoids. However they opted for a more laid back look with tight jeans, leather motorcycle jackets, sneakers, and ripped t- shirts.

Zandra Rhodes

In 1977, Zandra Rhodes became the first couture designer to put punk on the runway. Her "Conceptual Chic" collection incorporated safety pins, black jersey, and fabric tears.

The Icons

Bianca Jagger

Bianca Jagger not only wore 70s fashion, her style was a huge inspiration to women of the decade. She was a Studio 54 regular, she was friends with the likes of YSL and Halston, and acted as their model and muse. From turbans to tube tops, nothing was off limits for this original fashion risk-taker.

Catherine Deneuve

Catherine Deneuve's name was linked with on elf the top designers of the 70s, Yves Saint Laurent for whom she served as muse and model for many years. Near the end of the 70s she became the face of Chanel No 5 and famously caused sales of the fragrance to go through the roof in the US.

Versace in Los Angeles. Styles [3] in VERSACE Ready To Wear/Menswear Fall - Winter 2023/24. L.A. March 2023

On the Versace’s catwalk, models dressed in open-front Cloqué ball gowns pulled long trains behind them, while others walked wearing little black ones. Men's tuxedos were decorated with crystals. Some dresses were made using techniques usually reserved for couture.

The more casual set included neat cuts with pointed shoulders and a tapered waist inspired by Gianni Versace's mid-90s collections, leather twinsets, car coats and baggy boyfriend jeans.

Donatella Versace this time resigned from aggressive branding and limited the color palette. She focused on clean lines and sculpted silhouettes. Photo: Versace.

A Brief History Of Fashion Shows

The origin of contemporary fashion shows began in the late 1800s with private fashion events assorted with canapés and tea.

Mostly home-bound parties, these minishows aimed to present and market the couturier’s latest creations to a handful of wealthy clients.

The audience paid little attention to the surrounding settings and more to the glamorous and extravagant garments worn by ad-hoc models.

There were no smartphones, no social media, and no Kardashians “breaking the internet”; just hand-picked fashion editors, industry professionals, and fashion buyers.

Starting with the 60s, the demand for ‘ready-to-wear’ began to point toward a future of fast fashion and a transition from traditional homemade parties to televised fashion shows.

Organized by high-end department stores as a way to elevate reputation and increase sales, discreet home catwalks were replaced by on-stage fashion shows.

Hosted in the fashion capitals of the world, with models free-flowing to the sounds of ‘energetic’ musical styles, these fashion shows were open only to the industry’s most famous buyers, retailers, and media outlets.

in the 2000s fashion, with the help of technology, fashion shows became novel ways for fashion brands to honor the past, celebrate the present, and unveil the future.

Nowadays, contemporary fashion shows are broadcasted over the internet as a medium of live entertainment that allows millions of people to watch and engage in real-time.

1/29 VERSACE

Autumn/Winter 1991

VERSACE Autumn/Winter 1991 – thevou.com

If there ever was a fashion show that had the power to break the internet before the internet existed, this is it.

For the brand’s autumn/winter 1991 show, Gianni Versace sent Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, and Cindy Crawford arm-in-arm down the runway.

Arguably the best fashion models of all time were lip-syncing to George Michael’s “Freedom! ’90”, in an iconic 90s fashion moment that catapulted the models into the realms of superstardom (“We don’t wake up for less than $10,000 a day,” Evangelista later told Vogue).

VERSACE Autumn/Winter 1991 – thevou.com

The models looked powerful as they walked down the runway in their leather suits, ranging from pastel mini-coat dresses to black bondage straps with lace and gold jewelry.

Gianni’s concepts – once relegated to dungeons and bedrooms – became the center stage for socialites and fashion connoisseurs to wear in public.

The Italian designer’s pieces were for women interested in dressing with boldness, unafraid to shock onlookers with their sexuality.

2/29 CHANEL

Spring/Summer 1994

CHANEL Spring/Summer 1994 Fashion Show – thevou.com

Chanel’s SS 1994 show was the moment that catapulted the French haute couture Maison into the 21st century.

Chanel’s 1994 collection will be remembered when the late Karl Lagerfeld delivered the perfect balance of pop culture and the house’s prestigious couture creations.

A state of logo suspenders, chained belts, itsy-bitsy bikini sets, and even some roller skates.

To celebrate the brand’s 20th anniversary, Thierry Mugler hosted a spectacle at Paris’s landmark Cirque d’Hiver.

Starring Pat Cleveland dressed as the Madonna and descending from the ceiling, Jerry Hall, Carmen Dell’Orefice, Veruschka von Lehndorff, and Patty Hearst – who did a striptease; the event was packed with celebs and the brand’s latest creations.

Fire and Blood 1998

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Fire and Blood 1998 – thevou.com

McQueen’s 1998 fashion show is still regarded as one of the most iconic fashion events ever and “the door” to a new era of fashion parades and fashion weeks.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Fire and Blood 1998 – thevou.com

By blurring the lines between fashion, luxury, and art, ‘Fire and blood’ advanced classic fashion shows into theatrical masterpieces.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Fire and Blood 1998 – thevou.com

McQueen’s 1998 “Fire and Blood” event also signaled the transition from physical events to digital events via digital technology, consumer integrations, and digital filming technologies.

5/29 YVES SAINT LAURENT

Stade de France 1998

YVES SAINT LAURENT Stade de France 1998 – thevou.com

The internet has given birth to a new era of fashion shows, live broadcasted, insanely cinematic, and filled with visual–emotional experiences.

Yves Saint Laurent’s 1998 World Cup Final fashion show bestowed the “Stade de France” with fifteen minutes of fashion magic in one of the earliest events signaling what was coming.

YVES SAINT LAURENT Stade de France 1998 – thevou.com

The show comprised over 300 models backed up by a team of 200 technicians, 130 dressers, and 70 makeup artists – performing for the 80,000 spectators present in the stadium.

However, YSL’s 1998 fashion show made history by broadcasting live to an audience of one billion television viewers from all over the world, known as ‘A Fashion Show Watched By Billions’.

Spring/Summer Couture 1998

DIOR Spring/Summer Couture 1998 – thevou.com

No other haute couture Maison could allow John Galliano to express his love of theatricality as much as Dior.

For his spring/summer 1998 show, Galliano took attendees on an operatic flight of fancy, staging the show on the grand staircase of Paris’s historic Palais Garnier opera house.

DIOR Spring/Summer Couture 1998 – thevou.com

Galliano was at the height of his dramatic powers, featuring an orchestra, tango dancers, and dozens of extras dressed as figures from the world’s greatest operas.

7/29 ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

Spring 1999

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Spring 1999 Show – thevou.com

Alexander McQueen moved many to tears with his extraordinary London shows such as Bellmer La Poupee, Joan, and The Overlook.

However, No. 13, was “the only fashion show that made me cry”, said McQueen.

Staged, as all the collections of that period were, at Gatliff Warehouse, an unused former bus depot in Victoria, this unique fashion event featured intricately carved prosthetics and spray-painting robots.

The robots came to life when Shalom Harlow emerged in a strapless Broderie Anglaise dress cinched across the bust with a leather belt.

The robots sprayed her in a carefully choreographed dance as she spun around on a circular platform.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Spring 1999 Show – thevou.com

It wasn’t a fashion show; it was a performance of art with clothes that felt lighter and more sensual than his previous work, albeit equally fetishistic.

8/29 HUSSEIN CHALAYAN

Fall/Winter 2000

HUSSEIN CHALAYAN Fall 2000 Fashion Show – thevou.com

Hussein Chalayan’s interest in the relationship between the human body and science has led to some of the most inventive runway shows ever staged — fittingly, most often at Sadler’s Wells’s legendary London dance venue.

Models transformed chairs into dresses for his autumn/winter 2000 show and a coffee table into a hooped skirt.

It went beyond fashion, becoming a breathtaking piece of physical theatre in its own right, with models unzipping the slipcovers off the chairs and wearing them as shift dresses.

Voss 2001

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Voss SS 2001 Fashion Show – thevou.com

The late Alexander McQueen was not one to shy away from the evocative, not only in his clothing but also in his designs and content.

During the Alexander McQueen Spring Summer 2001 collection, the audience sat facing, staring at themselves against the reflective glass of a square box in the middle of the arena.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Voss 2001 Fashion Show – thevou.com

When the show commenced, fluorescent lights turned on inside of the cube.

Models sauntered in the box aimlessly and, at times, jarringly like they were suffering from a form of psychosis.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Voss 2001 Fashion Show – thevou.com

During the show, the spectators and critics realized that the glass was a one-way mirror – the models couldn’t see the audience, but the audience could see them.

The attendees watched the models as they swaggered around in the clothes, acting as models and ordinary people preparing to perform.

10/29 ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

Spring/Summer 2004

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Spring/Summer 2004 Fashion Show – thevou.com

Few shows are as memorable as Alexander McQueen’s 2004 deliverance collection.

Based on Sydney Pollack’s 1969 classic They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?, a story of young dancers growing up in Depression-era poverty, McQueen enlisted professional dancers to deliver an evocation of dancing to death.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Spring/Summer 2004 Fashion Show – thevou.com

McQueen’s show culminated with Karen Elson in a ragged dress carried, as if lifeless, across the stage, all choreographed by contemporary dance maestro Michael Clark.

With its echoes of burnout within the fashion industry, McQueen’s 2004 fashion show carries a poignant significance to the date, given McQueen’s suicide six years later.

11/29 FENDI

The Great Wall Of China 2007

FENDI The Great Wall Of China 2007 – thevou.com

YSL’s mega fashion show approach was employed by Lagerfeld almost a decade later, in 2007, for the house of Fendi.

The show took almost a year-long to put together, and the installation cost was over $10m.

The German designer took over the 2,000-year-old, iconic Great Wall of China and turned it into the longest runway ever.

FENDI The Great Wall Of China 2007 – thevou.com

Visible from space, the breathtaking show of strobe lights and gigantic Fendi logos projected onto the mountains, accompanied by a rare audience of 500 VIPs, was an absolute hit.

12/29 PIERRE CARDIN

The Silk Road 2007

PIERRE CARDIN The Silk Road 2007 – thevou.com

Pierre Cardin’s 2007 ‘Silk Road’ is another unique runway show worth styling and history books.

Organized on the whistling sand mountains of Dunhuang and along the dunes of the Mingsha Shan mountain desert, Cardin’s catwalk was a direct suggestion to Marco Polo’s travels to China over seven centuries ago.

PIERRE CARDIN The Silk Road 2007 – thevou.com

Set up on the iconic Silk Road, the trade route connecting textiles merchants from Europe with Asia, Cardin’s models paraded over two hundred mesmerizing silk creations in front of over 200,000 selected guests.

The entire industry hailed Cardin’s fashion show, from event organizers to fashion designers and fashion journalists.

13/29 LOUIS VUITTON

Spring/Summer 2008

LOUIS VUITTON Spring/Summer 2008 Fashion Show – thevou.com

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2008 collection resurfaced as a popular Instagram post, talked about by fashion fans at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Marc Jacobs himself even posted about it and looking at the styles that paraded the 2008 show, there’s no surprise why.

Jacobs sent down 12 models in sheer nurse uniforms and letters spelling out the brand’s name on their nurse’s caps.

LOUIS VUITTON Spring/Summer 2008 Fashion Show – thevou.com

The most time-relevant part was the sheer black surgical masks with the iconic LV monogram print.

The inspiration came from the Richard Prince nurse paintings, one of which became the cover of Sonic Youth’s 2004 album, Sonic Nurse.

Each nurse also carried a monogram LV bag with Prince’s Jokes series painted on the side.

14/29 MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA

Spring/Summer 2009

MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA Spring/Summer 2009 Fashion Show – thevou.com

Notoriously elusive designer Martin Margiela celebrated two decades at the helm of his namesake label by showcasing his greatest hits on the runway.

Some essential pieces celebrated at the 2009 Margiela show were the synthetic wigs of autumn/winter 1995 styled as power shoulders on bodysuits and a reworked version of the autumn/winter 2005 circle leather jacket that still sends die-hard fashion fans into a frenzy.

MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA Spring/Summer 2009 Fashion Show – thevou.com

Maison Margiela’s SS 2009 fashion show ended with an equally famous giant white birthday cake worth checking if you don’t know what I am talking about.

15/29 ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

Plato’s Atlantis 2010

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Plato’s Atlantis 2010 Fashion Show – thevou.com

McQueen’s Plato’s Atlantis was the British designer’s final show before his untimely death.

Described as otherworldly, the show was a commentary on global warming and evolution.

McQueen imagined what would happen if ice caps melted, sea levels rose, and humans evolved to survive.

Evolution was shown in the futuristic hair and makeup choices: models donned horn-like braids or teased masses and no eyebrows.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Plato’s Atlantis 2010 Fashion Show – thevou.com

The digitally printed dresses and robot arms holding cameras projecting the show on screens set our years in the future.

But the real showstoppers were the “Armadillo” boot, 30cm high and carved from wood.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Plato’s Atlantis 2010 Fashion Show – thevou.com

The shoes were often seen on Lady Gaga, who tweeted a link to the show because she was debuting her single, causing the site to crash from the traffic of her millions of followers.

16/29 DIOR

Spring/Summer Couture 2012

DIOR Spring/Summer Couture 2012 Fashion Show – thevou.com

One of the first Dior Couture collections without John Galliano received mixed reviews from the fashion critics of those days.

With the motto “anything goes” with models wearing clown makeup and hair sticking straight up, Galliano was the king of extravagant runways.

DIOR Spring/Summer Couture 2012 Fashion Show – thevou.com

Thus, it was no surprise when Bill Gaytten sent models on the catwalk wearing minimal outfits and fresh-faced makeup in what critics described as underwhelming.

But a closer look at the collection shows it’s not just about pretty dresses, but what goes into making those dresses.

There were references to Dior’s iconic bar jacket, this time with contrast stitching and a half-pleated skirt, almost like they ran out of time while making it.

The whole show honored the making of the brand, taking place in the building where Dior became Dior.

17/29 CHANEL

Spring/Summer 2012

CHANEL Spring/Summer 2012 Fashion Show – thevou.com

The concept of the fashion show as a spectacle filtered up to some of the world’s top fashion brands (and most significant budgets).

None were willing to flaunt the wealth of their multibillion-dollar juggernaut like the late great Karl Lagerfeld.

CHANEL Spring/Summer 2012 Fashion Show – thevou.com

Held in Paris’s Grand Palais, the designer loved to heavily theme runways, taking showgoers to Chanel-branded supermarkets, protest marches, and even on-stage rocket launching pads.

Equally, Lagerfeld’s 2012 show was a unique under-the-sea fantasia that concluded with Florence Welch emerging, Venus-like, from a clamshell in a pearly white couture gown to sing her track, What the Water Gave Me.

18/29 JEAN PAUL GAULTIER

Spring/Summer 2014

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER Spring/Summer 2014 Fashion Show – thevou.com

Gaultier’s runways were always highly animated, and this one was nothing short of a party.

The show started with three judges sitting at a table and models standing behind them holding audition number cards.

One-by-one, the models stepped out in front of the table, made a little dance move, and walked down the runway, leaving the judges to hold up cards with reactions.

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER Spring/Summer 2014 Fashion Show – thevou.com

Some models between segments got to perform choreographed dances; Coco Rocha took on the “You’re The One That I Want” dance from Grease, and Karlie Kloss showed off her voguing skills to “Let’s Have A Kiki.”

All models danced down the runway in one big parade of high fashion and joy for the closing moment.

19/29 CHANEL

Fall/Winter 2014

CHANEL Fall/Winter 2014 Fashion Show – thevou.com

The only things that could have outdone Karl Lagerfeld’s perfected versions of a Chanel tweed skirt suit were his fashion shows.

For Chanel’s Fall 2014 collection, Lagerfeld created an entire supermarket in the Grand Palais.

CHANEL Fall/Winter 2014 Fashion Show – thevou.com

Guests wandered the aisles before taking their seats, looking at over a hundred thousand items labeled with references to the fashion house.

Models carried Chanel bags in shopping baskets that were given the Chanel treatment of gold chain and leather, and some packs were even wrapped up in plastic-like fresh meat.

There’s nothing like including a $4,000+ milk carton-shaped purse in a collection meant to comment on consumerism.

20/29 RICK OWENS

Spring/Summer 2014

RICK OWENS Spring/Summer 2014 Fashion Show – thevou.com

When it comes to Rick Owens’s shows, it is hard to know what to expect.

Whether blasting out plumes of colored smoke to obscure the runway or strapping models to other models’ backs, the designer’s unique concepts have become his calling card.

Owens enlisted a step team for the spring/summer 2014 Paris show, a blend of military drill and cheerleading from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

RICK OWENS Spring/Summer 2014 Fashion Show – thevou.com

There, Owens introduced corners of the performing arts that have been historically overlooked to an entirely new audience, making an effort to shift outdated cultural stereotypes.

21/29 VIKTOR & ROLF

Fall/Winter Couture 2015

VIKTOR & ROLF Fall/Winter Couture 2015 Fashion Show – thevou.com

Viktor & Rolf’s 2015 Couture fashion show is the perfect example of how art and fashion form a common ground.

The show started with a model in a blue smock, wrapped in what resembled an entire canvas, frame, and all.

VIKTOR & ROLF Fall/Winter Couture 2015 Fashion Show – thevou.com

The real magic started when the designers came on stage, removed a similar canvas-Esque skirt from the second model, and hung it on the wall.

The canvases became increasingly complex, the final one being a triptych which, when hung, had the painting spilling over three frames.

Part of the last fashion decade, Kanye West’s 2016 fashion show at Madison Square Garden is a world apart.

Organized in collaboration with Vanessa Beecroft, an Italian contemporary artist, Kanye’s show was constructed around the relationship between the fashion and music industries.

Inspired by the 80s fashion rave subcultures, Kanye’s fashion show was orchestrated as a contemporary reinterpretation of those times and a touch of Paris Fashion Week, visited by Kanye the year before.

Supremely choreographed by the American fashion designer and supported by top modeling agencies, Naomi Campbell’s appearance bestowed the event right on the runway.

Hailed as one of the most extravagant fashion shows ever by a list of top fashion designers and A guest list, including Gabriela Hearst, Michael Kors, and Marc Jacobs, Chanel’s 2017 show reinvented the concept of runway modeling.

Chanel’s 2017 fashion show turned the Grand Palais into a space station, hosting a Chanel-branded spaceship that eventually took off.

Packed with sensory experiences and supported by a whopping $1.46 billion spent on advertising campaigns that year, Chanel’s 2017 fashion show was an open letter of what was coming.

CHANEL Sky’s The Limit 2017 Fashion Show – thevou.com

Backstage, the team dressed the models in mostly grey clothing and black and white chiffon evening gowns.

True to Chanel form, the designer also included layers of pearl accents, representing intergalactic particles and a homage to the French fashion house.

Reimagining a heritage brand in new ways, season after season, Karl Lagerfeld took Chanel to new heights that underscored his artistic genius without abandoning the brand’s signature style.

24/29 VERSACE

Spring/Summer 2018

VERSACE Spring/Summer 2018 Fashion Show – thevou.com

Versace’s Spring 2018 show was Donatella’s most beautiful tribute to her late brother Gianni.

The Italian designer included references to her brother’s collections from the 90s, scattered throughout the show, from the logos and prints to model choices and the soundtrack.

VERSACE Spring/Summer 2018 Fashion Show – thevou.com

The soundtrack was a voiceover of Donatella speaking about Gianni, and the logo was the original Versace logo from the 80s fashion.

The designer also showcased dresses with Vogue Magazine and Marilyn Monroe prints from the Spring 1991 collection, the baroque Versace medusa prints from Spring 1992, and butterfly-printed cocktail dresses calling back to the Spring 1995 collection.

VERSACE Spring/Summer 2018 Fashion Show – thevou.com

The most iconic moment came from the finale, where Gianni’s favorite models, Carla Bruni, Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, and Helena Christensen, walked down the runway in gold chainmail dresses.

For the Italian house’s 2019 resort collection, Scott staged a circus-themed pageant in the heart of Los Angeles.

Embracing the role of a ringleader in all its razzle-dazzle tackiness, the finale saw circus performers (along with RuPaul’s Drag Race star and burlesque performer Violet Chachki) finish with a show-stopping aerial acrobatics routine.

DIOR Spring/Summer 2019 Fashion Show – thevou.com

For Dior’s spring/summer 2019 show, Chiuri turned her gaze to the Israeli choreographer Sharon Eyal, founder of the Batsheva Dance Company.

The designer’s regular muses — Ruth Bell, Adesuwa, and Selena Forrest, weaved across a broad, petal-strewn set as dancers shimmied in tribute to the legendary American dancer Martha Graham.

Since co-founding the Tabernacle Drip Choir in 2015, Kerby Jean-Raymond used the runway shows for Pyer Moss to showcase the ensemble’s extraordinary talents, with setlists covering a mix of gospel, hip-hop, and blues.

As the band’s numbers have changed, Jean-Raymond’s return to New York Fashion Week had to be done with a bang after a season off.

This time, there were 90 members riffing on the history of black music, from Donny Hathaway to Cardi B.

PYER MOSS Spring/Summer 2020 Fashion Show – thevou.com

Most notable, however, was his tribute to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the black female gospel singer famous during the 1930s and 1940s, who is often overlooked in her contributions to rock’n’roll.

Jean-Raymond might have been looking to the past, but he made history this year by celebrating black music and its relationship to style.

MOSCHINO Spring/Summer 2021 Fashion Show – thevou.com

And here we are at the world’s first-ever virtual fashion week.

For the brand’s 2021 fashion show, Jeremy Scott, Moschino’s creative director, decided to take inspiration from the couture collections of Théâtre de la Mode in 1945.

The idea originated from Robert Ricci, who realized that many French fashion houses were on the verge of closing due to a lack of funds, scarcity of materials, and clients’ inability to travel.

MOSCHINO Spring/Summer 2021 Fashion Show – thevou.com

Nearly 60 couture houses donated materials to be made into miniature versions of the designs on offer.

The miniature dresses were fitted on mannequins that were just over 2 feet tall.

The exhibition featured 237 looks, opening at The Louvre in Paris and raising millions of francs for war relief.

The exhibit eventually went on to tour the world and is currently part of the Maryhill Museum of Art’s collection.

Similarly, Jeremy Scott made 40 looks for miniature marionettes reminiscent of some of his favorite models.

MOSCHINO Spring/Summer 2021 Fashion Show – thevou.com

The mini models were sent down a runway lined with mini puppet replicas of some of fashion’s most notorious front-row guests, including Anna Wintour and Hamish Bowles.

Surprisingly, Scott wasn’t the only designer to pull inspiration from this concept.

Dior created a short film where mythical creatures were presented with miniature versions of dresses featured in their Fall 2020 Couture collection.

Held at the Grand Palais Éphémère – wholly done up in tweed – earthy light brown for the seats, black with shots of pop colors on the walls, and pale green for the runway – Chanel’s 2022 fashion show represented Scotland’s river Tweed.

The region was ground well-trod by Gabrielle Chanel; company lore has it that on her countryside walks, she gathered flowers and greenery as references for the colors she wanted from the fabric makers there.

CHANEL Fall 2022 Fashion Show – thevou.com

The fashion show packed unique multi-pocket hunting jackets and coats incorporating downy-looking fleece and Duke of Westminster-like jackets inspired by his lodge in Lochmore and the Eaton Hall country house terrace.

Viard completed the show with a getaway spirit of colorful thick-ribbed tights, rubber Wellies, and thigh-high waders stamped with the famous interlocking double Cs.

Conclusion

The combination of fashion with music and technology has led to a new breed of digital fashion shows.

Modern fashion shows broadcast in real-time to a global audience employ singers, dancers, models, and on-stage performers, music-synchronized and supported by autonomous laser-bearing drones.
