So now we've moved to part 2. Hello, this is Sea
Hedgehog, and you're here again on my channel, A Jest
in Sober Earnest for Part 2 of the "People that Inspire
You in the Doll Hobby" Tag, which I have now converted
to art inspiration for the second half.
So I also wanted to talk about random artists as well. So
the 1st one I wanted to mention, again, because I
always talk about this 1, is Madeleine Vionnet. I don't
know if I'll put the Wikipedia Article, or whatever,
because she's dead now. Her height was in the 20s and
30s.
She's a super interesting designer thought because…so,
I think I mentioned in another video—again, repeating
things that I've mentioned in other videos—that she's
considered an expert with bias fabric, so like cutting on
the diagonal and draping on the diagonal.
And her outfits are architectural, which would make you
think that they would be geometric, but they're actually
very drapey and soft, which I think is very interesting.
And it's not, like I hate soft; I am more of a structural
garment sort of person.
And I'll try to see if I can post a picture of exactly how
well-planned some of these outfits are. But just that
somebody could think of this without having 3D
modeling software I think is pretty incredible.
Yeah. So Vionnet.
Another 1; had to mention it. Very architectural, but this
time very structural or geometric is Charles James. He
was famous I think in the 50s and 60s. And I think his
most famous dress, which I think I will put here with a
link to the Wikipedia article, is the cloverleaf dress.
And he was really famous for weirdly shaped crinolines
that made his skirt have very interesting curves to them
that didn't necessarily either 1) gravity or 2) the cut of
the dress, which is super interesting.
But I think the interesting part of him is that he gives me
inspiration for making things that [seemingly] violate the
laws of gravity, and that is sometimes a necessity for
me, especially with undergarments. You've seen my
struggles in other videos!
And then for more modern designers, I really like Mary
Katranzou. I don't know if anyone's familiar with her.
Probably. I think she was popular in the mid 2000s—
she really popularized
--Hold on. Ugh!—
The photo print dresses, but I think what's really
interesting about her clothes---and I'll try to post one
here with the Wikipedia article—is that I think she uses
3D modeling software because what she ended up
doing was she printed patterns, but then she set the
orientation of the photo on each dress panel in such a
way that when you lined the seams together, everything
matches up.
And I'm super anal about matching patterns and it
pleases me. I enjoy this a lot, so Mary Katranzou.
--Don't leave me!—
This cat has been causing some troubles. I had to take
her to the vet and she freaked out in the car, so I
unzipped the cat carrier because I thought she was
caught on something or whatever, and she projectile
sh*t down my front and on 1 hand.
So then I was like 1 stop. My vets like—oh, gosh—at the
end of the street from my parent's house. So thankfully I
was that close—I was at like the stoplight away from
their house and I was able to turn in their driveway and I
just tossed everything I was wearing in a bucket and
rinsed it out. I had to figure out how to get out of the car
without putting sh*t on the door or on anything else in
the car. I had to drive like that!
It's not her fault. She was crying because she was going
to poop and I interpreted that as she was afraid—well,
she was, but…Ah, struggles! It was not her fault that she
shat down my front, but it didn't make it anymore
pleasant! She's making up right now by purring.
Right, so I got distracted. So Mary Katranzou. Another
one—and now I've sort of moved from designers to the
theater—and I think this is my favorite artist of all time
across the board for everything: is Eiko Ishioka,
especially her work in Bram Stoker's Dracula, the movie.
Her costuming is amazing and I love all of it. I would
find the opportunity to wear it. It's all ridiculous, but I
would find a way. So hopefully, Wikipedia article, link, all
that cr*p.
Another 1, if we're talking about movies, is Trisha Biggar,
who may be familiar if anyone is obsessed with Star
Wars—or infamous, because she's actually the costume
designer for the prequels. So not like the most recent
Star Wars movies, but the ones that are infamous, that
everyone hates—"hates"—for the plot…the lack thereof
for plot development, or bad acting, or something, I
don't know, but I love them because of the costuming.
And in particular, which I hope to show in the link and
photo here, is the black feather dress from the Phantom
Menace is velvet that has been individually pinched into
little pyramids and dry so that it sticks up in little points
along the cape, so I am obsessed with that dress—it's
incredible.
And I like the inspiration. I know it's such a trope in Sci-
Fi to inspire your costumes from cultural garments that
actually exist
--what are you doing?—
And perhaps, you know, poorly recreate them or use
them in context that are culturally insensitive, and I don't
want to minimize that—eh, but I am, I guess—but I think
the way she melded modern ideas with a traditional
aesthetics is very different from anything I've ever seen
before. And I think it's very interesting how you could
make something that is historical look so futuristic.
So now we're to fabric! So my favorite fabric line of all
time is Echino by Etsuko Furuya. And I really like it
because I guess it's sort of me. It has like the historical
damasks, it's got some retro, and then she throws in
skulls and owls—she puts an owl on it—and I like that.
So this is an older fabric line, again, it initially came out
in the mid 2000s. it's since been reissued multiple times
and I think the most recent reissue actually brought
back one of her most famous print, which is this
damask with the skulls in it, which I really like.
Um, and I think that's it. Bye!
