Iconic Runway Moments

[71000]

Bored and hungry so I decided to make gifs instead of eating:

Several iconic moments at DSquared SS11

Love this show

 

[Lucia]

This moment at Dior immediately came to mind

Epic moment when she push her to keep walking ♥

And, for me, this is my memorable moment ever (all this fashion show is epic too, it made me cry every single time I saw it )

Shalom harlow for alexander mcqueen

And mcqueens platos atlantis 2010 is forever leg goals and my all time favorite show in general

What do you girls think about Alexander McQueen's 1995 S/S show? There has been controversy surrounding his shows quite a bit anyway but the disheveled looks really caused quite the ruckus even back then. I think it's a masterpiece of a show and the tire tracks really fit that heroin chic era with some elegant yet sexy designs. And that 14:55 iconic moment really made it.

Freja, Baptiste and Lara at Chanel

Daphne Groeneveld rolling her eyes after Lindsey Wixson falls behind her.

Jill Sander F/W 2009 show in Milan - Auguste Abeliunaite crying (love when a model cries on the runway...comes in a close second to a model falling on the runway!)

 

[indeterminacy]

Hussein Chalayan at his best. This show was impeccable and almost otherworldly in its... beautiful austerity and precision if that makes sense.

Also worth mentioning:







Also this hilarious compilation:




I would die if I ever fall on the runway TBH.

 

[heize]

Hope this counts as it is technically backstage, but Natasha Poly crying after Renzo Russo yelled at her because she was late at one of his Diesel shows.

And when she lost her shoe at the Victoria's Secret show in 2005 but she kept walking (0:13).

 

[indeterminacy]

Vlada crying at Chanel F/W 2009 due to exhaustion and that annoying lady hounding her


"Wanna go for a cigarette? Vodka?"

 

[saturation]

This Valentino collection!

 

[bougainvilleas]

Not iconic because of the clothes or models per se, but Viktor & Rolf 2008 has been extremely helpful in supplying me with the perfect image responses to annoying requests at work! (After ~7 months of 24/7 email communication in quarantine, I no longer give a shit about being polite.)

How has nobody mentioned Alexander McQueen's Fall 1998 show with a "Joan of Arc" theme? Despite being a (relative) fashion dunce, I absolutely adore just how morbid and provocative this show is.

I love the creepy look created by the red contacts and ice-queen models

My personal favourite are the outfits with pictures of the Romanov children on them - the overall aesthetic is so creepy and Gothic, especially with the shimmery fabric. Although the morality of using murdered children to make a fashion statement is up for debate.

And setting the stage on fire was such an iconic ending.

 

[coldfaerie]

The infamous Chanel micro bikini from S/S 1996. Unfortunately, it has been worn by Kim Kardashian and by other fat influencers, so the bikini got strapped from everything fashion and went straight into tacky domain.
I am not going to post those images because they will spoil this entire thread.

 

[thinemesis]

I will never forget Anabela at Nina Ricci.....

Also, was D&G fw 2013 only iconic to me? That model army shook me as a tween...

The byzantine ostentation, and hot Karlie Kloss...

 

[cocomon]

From 2021 so far:

This Iris van Herpen moment (sadly one of the only skinny models in their show, Nyarach Abouch Ayuel)

This Vetements ready-to-wear look

And finally (from the end of 2020) - the Balenciaga video game.

I didn't know where to post this so hope it's okay to bump an old thread but I'm obsessed with some of the looks from the Diesel fall 2022 ready to wear Milan show. Glenn Martens's creative direction is incredible.

I disagree. It may just be me (so take my word with a grain of salt in that case) but I feel like this Diesel show doesn’t have the potential to be iconic. You could argue that the looks are not horrible, and I somewhat agree, but overall it borders on mediocrity. The purpose of this thread was to highlight the most iconic moments in fashion, and this runway show doesn’t make it on the list IMO.

The purpose of this thread was to highlight the most iconic moments in fashion, and this runway show doesn’t make it on the list IMO., I was unsure of where to post as it does seem like this thread is more established iconic runways. I guess the looks are also a matter of personal style and taste but I just wanted to share some of the outfits and new collection, I found the show really refreshing amongst some of the safer, overdone fashion week moments.

Fair enough! I was unsure of where to post as I was interested in some of the 2022 fashion week shows but couldn't find specific threads about them (maybe this is something I'll need to unlock at a higher level) but this thread does seem to be more focused on iconic shows from all time. I think opinions on the outfits themselves are down to personal taste but I do think his innovation is something very exciting. In my opinion, the installation on the runway and the designs showcased feel like a breath of fresh air compared to some shows this season. I guess time will tell which shows are remembered and forgotten.
