Round 3 - 2026 (Costume Art / Fashion is Art) - Match 16 of 32
Louisa Jacobson (Dilara Findikoglu), left
"Here, the body is not only adorned, it is armoured. It becomes a shield, a survival mechanism shaped by the demands of a patriarchal world. Through this look, I ask: can I exist in power without abandoning my vulnerability? Can I be both at once?" (x)
vs. Cai Xukun (Thom Browne), right
"Inspired by the body’s interior, one half of the look features over 400,000 dégradé overlapping sequins and bugle beads with frayed organza in shades of red representing the circulatory system, while the other half is rendered in hand-stitched tailoring thread interwoven with beaded lung and circulatory veins. The internal becomes the focal point as we look closer at the intricate life source within, the systems propelling us through daily life and into the world." (x)
Whose outfit was better?
