valentino at GOMA
August 23rd, 2010
All I can say about the incredible Valentino show at the QUEENSLAND ART GALLERY / GALLERY OF MODERN ART in Brisbane is “go and see this spectacular show!” The colours, textures and handmade craft are lovely to behold, particularly as the creations are staged on platforms and not behind glass. A comprehensive display of magazines articles and clips, historical photographs, writings and films on Valentino’s career separates two large rooms filled with haute couture from 1959 through to 2010. The show, ‘Valentino, Retrospective: Past/Present/Future’ was originally organised as an exhibit at Les Arts Décoratifs in Paris and truly showcases Valentino’s contribution to fashion . Get yourself to Brisbane!

The Costumer’s Manifesto is an eccentric site that includes everything you ever wanted to know about or link to regarding costume design. Look up shops in the US and online, supplies, books, information on costume designers, patterns, how to make costumes, theory and design issues, historical information, links to other sites, I could go on and on…….If what you are looking for is not on this site, there will be a link to a site where you will find it. Incredibly complete and helpful! It’s great to have a central site for all information regarding costume design. Thanks to Tara Maginnis, costume designer, professor, instructor!
MAD MEN where is season two in Australia?
November 23rd, 2009
Not only is Janie Bryant’s Costume work for Madmen inspirational as story telling fashion, but the character’s changes and perceptions of themselves are reflected so beautifully through their clothes. Here Betty Draper is living thorugh the daze of finding out her husband has been having yet another affair. She spends at least 24 hours in this gorgeous dress from the dinner party she hosted the previous night. She starts out looking like the perfect glamour hostess and ends up the hurt child in a clown frock. The fabric is beautiful, you can just feel it. There is much praise online for Bryant’s work. Here are just a few ports of call.

In Australia, the second series hasn’t even been screened by SBS, [series one screened early this year] let alone series 3 which just finished airing in the States. With series 2 already out on DVD and series 3 sure to follow soon, the networks in Australia truly missed out! What happened SBS? You can buy series one and two through SBS or at most shops.
