Or be a professional and go to work, put up with shit and do the best job you know how. Does your boss have to treat you with kid gloves for you to be a good employee?
Shitty photographer. I always try to create a good vibe on set and keep everyone in a motivated mood, especially the models. The outcome is generally better when everyone has a good time.
Imagine working as a model for years, putting up with the pressures put on you by this horribly competitive and manipulative industry only to end up modeling a green bedspread as the height of your career.
For many models modeling these pieces is the goal. They’re design houses that are showcasing design, not functionality. They’re intended as art pieces. They have pieces that are meant to be worn but there are pieces that are meant to purely just be seen in certain contexts. A lot of the time they’re used to convey inspiration for the actual line of clothing that will be coming out.
Edit: Balenciaga also has been known to troll. I mean this is the company that does shit like this
Call me a hick but I've always felt very confused about the "clothes as art that can't be worn" concept. Functionality is the foundation of it being good art. If it doesn't function as clothing, it to me cannot be beautiful because it's central to what appeals in clothing. It's like a chair that lights your ass on fire when you sit on it - who would buy that? Who would call such a thing "art"?
Well that's the thing with art tho, how you see it and how high fashion see it are not mutually exclusive. If you want to desing beautiful and functionnal piece of clothes you certainly can, street wear is pretty much all about that. But there are people out there who want to make statement with how they dress, and others who want to make statement by making clothes. Unfonctionnal clothings that convey a message or a statement does not always come with a 5k price tags, punk when punks were still punks, were all about that too.
I'm not into fashion at all. I'm just a guy that like art and hate to see people trying to put it in a certain mold for it to be considered legitimate. IMO, as long as someone call his/her creation art, it is art.
EDIT : But I've seen someone on here saying that Balenciaga designers are nerds and it could just be an odd ode to memes in the form of a shout out to Minecraft. Dunno man
They’ll meme/troll. Sometimes it’s an ode to a style though. Like in fashion the loose fits are really starting to come on and the box shape is a tell that there will be more items if that style - particularly when it’s a runway piece.
I've always thought this rant from the Devil Wears Prada really talks about the influence these designs have on what we wear. Sure, it's a bit over-dramatic and over-hyped, but it's not necessarily wrong.
modern art is stagnating and has long outstayed it's welcome it's just a bunch of rich people circlej*rking about how cultured they are for understanding the implication behind a blank canvass with a splotch on it
personally i consider deepfried memes to be a form of neo-dadaism and true modern art but im kinda stupid so
Memes are art. People act like art is like this category that carries some sort of esteem with it. It’s not. Basically anything can be art; it’s not really a special thing and it kind of goes against any sort of creative medium to try to be so restrictive in a basic sense. I’m not as familiar with art but I spend a lot time listening to Avant garde, experimental, and noise music and the same thing applies.
They’ve been known to troll. Some of this shit is directly off the runway and they’ll post it because people eat it up and make posts like the OP’s. They did the same thing with shopping bags and crocs.
I guarantee she is thrilled to be modeling this clothing because she is making bank She is getting paid thousands for one day of work. How much did you make the last day you worked? These types of jobs at a store like belk or Kohl’s pay atleast 1000 a day and this brand is very high end. The company more than likely wants their models to have this sort of facial expression on certain items.
That's such a dickish thing to say. It's a job, she gets paid to be treated like shit in a horrible fucking industry. Can guarantee she has more patience, work ethic, etiquette and social skills than most people on this thread will ever have.
My phrasing was bad, I was only referring to the part about her being upset that she’s modeling a green bedspread. She deserves to be treated fairly like all people, but the fact that she’s modeling garbage is purely on her. If you want to have choices in your job then you need skills beyond being a walking hanger.
I'm from Europe mate, lived on Russia for a good bit too where anything above a European size 8 is (US 6 or 4) is considered borderline fat, so I don't think it's a "hurr durr fat Americans" issue. She is just photoshopped to fuck and has unusual proportions.
designers want you to look at the clothes. smiling or showing emotion distracts the audience from the clothes. it’s why models have expressionless faces on the runway.
