Fashion is not about clothes, Costume design is not about fashion

Fashion is not about clothes, it's about style and attitude. Costume design is not about fashion, it's about defining the role of the dancers, the emotions of the dance, and the vision of the choreographer. Check out this great video made by Chadwick Tyler for Marc Jacob S/S10 model casting. The following quote is from AnOther magazine. "They wear the clothes, the clothes don't wear them" . In the same way, dancers wear the costume, the costume don't wear them...

The identity of the model on the catwalk, "for this show more than any other, is key," says AnOther Man Fashion Director and menswear stylist for Marc by Marc, Alister Mackie. "As each model only wears one look, and each look is tailored and styled around the model." To be chosen for the show, the models have to embody the spirit of youthful cool; be of strong character; and have an irreverent attitude: "It's the attitude they bring; a sense of ease", says Mackie. "They wear the clothes, the clothes don’t wear them. They can perhaps be less conventionally beautiful than other models, but this show is really about models who can project something of themselves through the clothes." To be a model for Marc is an early career coup – we present this season’s winners.
