The world of fashion is so dynamic that designers will always break the boundaries. They have what it takes to experiment with just about anything, from fabrics to styles and more. All of these are put together to come up with the most amazing pieces, some which will literally blow your mind. Whether it is apparel or accessories, the past few years have hit us pretty good with respect to fashion. Remember Viktor & Rolf and their meme couture as well as Jacquemus that went on to create the tiniest handbags the world has ever seen?
The BA Fashion Show 2019 that went down in London last week saw Fredrik Tjaerandsen, a very talented Norwegian designer, hit the spotlights. It was all about the balloon dresses which happens to be his most recent creation.
This set Twitter on fire with a lot of reactions. Users were obviously surprised to see a fashion show that had dresses that came from balloons. Models dressed in giant balloons did the runway walk. However, these balloons eventually deflated and turned into rubber dresses. This is what amazed everyone. The Norwegian talented designer went on to win the L’Oréal Professional Young Talent Award. It didn’t take long for the videos to go viral on Twitter. There were lots of shares and different reactions from Twitter users.
A lot of users actually wondered where the materials used in creating the outfits came from and how they actually worked. It was revealed that the rubber used to make the balloon outfits were actually gotten from Sri Lanka.
The designer eventually went on to let on more details concerning the balloon outfits and how they worked. Fredrik stated that he made use of a system of air pressure to come up with the pieces. This gave the wearer the ability and power to keep control over the level of airflow. This meant that at any point in time, the wearer could get to deflate by opening a latch that is located inside. This releases the bubble part that is inflated and the deflating bubble simply gets driven out. The bubble remains in the same place as the inside garment. The designer made sure that only as many seams as was needed were used in the design.
A lot of persons could not contain their reactions as they took so much interest in watching as the wearers deflated the dresses. Many tweeted remarks about this spectacle being so perfect on the pink carpet at the widely renowned Met Gala. Meanwhile, some other Twitter viewers did not really love the concept and the did not hold back in voicing out their thoughts.
Whatever the case, this invention by the Norwegian designer is something that is worth taking a look at and will definitely be on the headlines for a long time to come.
