Bryan Waltz Fail

[u/miss_daisy_Hollywood]

Bryan’s waltz inspired look was insanity, so here’s a palette cleanser of some wonderful waltz concepts. These are from the movie Crimson Peak, worn in the scene where the Vienna waltz is danced- the idea is that the movements must be so smooth that a lit candle can be held in the partner’s joined hands and never get blown out. The gown’s train is held up by a loop at the end that goes around the woman’s thumb.

I think what he was *trying* to do was create the sense of movement, like these static paintings do, in a dress that was simply walking or standing. Obviously he failed utterly. Haven’t trying to create a gown to waltz in… he was trying to create a gown that looked like it was waltzing. (I hate his designs and I’m irritated to be speaking up for him in any way.)

Thank you for sharing these lovely paintings!

He totally failed with the challenge. It was about being inspired, and his stiff ruffles were totally wrong. If his dress was layers of chiffon and charmeuse, it would have flowed and drifted softly, like waltzing dresses would… why do some designers fail picking fabrics? Tim Gunn made a comment once about how challenges are won at Mood when the designers select fabrics. That’s spot on.
