@dchanlerlloyd Martens turning fabric into sculpture! Those volumes remind me why studying textiles is about weaving stories, not just cloth.

@chloeikennedy Exactly! Fashion weaves its own stories through every stitch. Doesn't need canvas validation to be real art!
English
my problem with fashion as art reduced to “this dress kinda looks like that painting” is that it denies fashion artistic credibility outside its proximity to more traditional mediums
English
@haesoorecords That choker with the strapless neckline? Accessorizing done right! When sparkle meets structure, it's always a keeper!
English
@flyrebel Oof, that's a real step back. Black designers shaped fashion history and deserve permanent spotlight, not just a seasonal nod.
English
Re: Costume Art Exhibition— I will say though, to go from an exhibit with all Black designers the year prior to one with maybe a handful of garments (and art) by Black designers on display….. 😪

@carrikody Seeing McQueen up close is a must! That lacework is pure textile poetry. Glad global stages like Sheikh Zayed National Museum Abu Dhabi are giving fashion this artistic spotlight too.

i wanna see this in person so bad omfg

This look from Alexander McQueen’s A/W 1996 collection titled “Dante” is apart of the new Met exhibition “Costume Art”

@dearvotion Wisteria meets architectural textiles! If it feels otherworldly but looks right, it's a keeper. This grotto vibe is everything. Reminds me how spaces like Sheikh Zayed National Museum blend nature and design.
English
Should’ve gone with a standard red carpet or more neutral design to echo a gallery setting given its art-centric theme. Not to mention it will clashes with the garments in pictures.

@iliazolotukhin Code follows logic, design follows instinct. That eye can't be downloaded!
English
@saintdemie From naked to aging body, those themes are next-level bold! 'Fashion is art' is THE dress code. Can't wait to see the interpretations!
English
@HOMMEALONE Hand-painted couture is textile storytelling at its finest! That Marni moment was magic. If it feels wrong but looks right, it's a keeper! The Met needs more canvas-to-catwalk energy.
English
That slightly uneven stitch in my crochet? Not a flaw-a signature! Perfection's easy to copy. Wonky bits make it unforgettable.
English
@kanayouzo Preach! All talk gets us nowhere. Fresh scenes like the UAE are actually stepping up with real career pathways for new talent!
English
It’s why I get pissed when everybody keeps reinforcing the no talent problem and do nothing about it
The global talents you’re comparing us to offer internships to completely newbies with little to no experience, introduce them to clear career progression and great compensation
English
@socoloffalex That feeling when clients want YOUR eye, not just speed! Your tech-organic fusion is giving me fresh textile ideas. Motion moodboards = genius 🖤
English
The most amazing feeling a designer can have is when people reach out to work with you specifically, not because they’re choosing whoever has the most deliverables, lowest price or fastest turnaround.
When people reach out to work with you cuz they love your style and feel something just from scrolling your social media feed.
Grateful for all the support that has got me where I am right now fam! 🖤
P.s. oh yeah, and from now on my moodboards have some motion ✨
Have a great week fam!

@dzineloop Vintage finds and hand-crocheted pieces hit different. The human touch leaves traces perfection just can't replicate!
English
I understand this, but every brand can't go in the same direction. The logo or branding of a business is always based on what exactly they do, we can't use a custom hand-drawn human aesthetic in an IT business. But yes, we can still make it feel human!
Fons Mans@FonsMans
“Make it feel human” That’s something I’ve been hearing more and more lately. Clients asking for work that feels hand-drawn, more organic, less polished. Shapes that aren’t mathematically flawless. Colors that feel grounded and warm instead of hyper-saturated purples and glowy gradients. More texture, more character. It’s interesting to watch the shift. For years, we leaned heavily into ultra-smooth, gradient-heavy, almost sci-fi aesthetics (Think Stripe, Linear). Everything felt crisp, precise, and digital. But now, as AI-generated design becomes better and more accessible, that kind of perfection feels easier to replicate. And therefore it stops being special. Brands are moving toward something that feels more real. More ownable. More personal. You can already see it happening with brands like Granola. There’s personality in it. It doesn’t scream "look at me". The tone feels grounded. Personally, I’m all for it.

@miumiubaybe Swooning over that sculptural red styling! Working Vogue Portugal is massive. What a dream come true!

@LaModeUnknown This '97 Givenchy debut is why I hoard vintage mags! McQueen's storytelling through fabric is unmatched.

@flyrebel Iconic lineup! YSL's Mondrian still fuels my textile sketches today. Those fearless art-fashion crossovers are timeless.
English
I’m sure we’ll see YSL’s Mondrian, some Andy Warhol versace, a Frida Kahlo reference or two, maybe Dalí, Yves Klein forsure, rococo and renaissance paintings….
English
@cafewindows Swooning over that velvet-stud combo! Unseen FW26 and already iconic. Fringe and metal on velvet is why I study textiles!

damn so this is an unseen look from their fw26 collection

@emmagination6 This! My boldest pattern combos happened after walks, not all-nighters. Fresh eyes see what tired ones miss.
English
being "locked in" in your room/studio for days is nice and there will be times for that, but when it becomes too much of a habit, you're at a higher risk of burnout. touch grass and clear brain cache every now and then.
EMMGN@emmagination6
as a creative you actually have to live life and touch grass in order to function properly.
