The negligence of the stylist of Hollywood stars – Fashion and clothing magazine

In recent days, 2 important, news-making and high-profile events have been held in the fashion world:

The British Awards 2023

ELLE's 2023 Women in Hollywood

In the course of these two ceremonies, regardless of the results and achievements, some interesting events have happened, which we intend to discuss in this article.

A gross mistake from the best designer of the year

The first Fashion Awards 2023 was held at the Royal Albert Hall in London. In this event, Taylor Russell, the Canadian actress, appeared in a dress from the spring 2024 collection of the Loewe brand; Iconic Loki with an eye-catching and wonderful upper body that in Paris Fashion Week, the creative director of this brand; Jonathan Anderson unveiled it and it was welcomed by many audiences. This look was worn by Taylor at the Fashion Awards ceremony with changes in the bottom of the dress; Not so attractive changes!

Unfortunately, these changes were not made in a positive way. The side seams of the dress had very bad stitching and poor quality, which was far from expected from a high-end brand like Louve. This problem was not hidden from the eyes of the audience and news agencies, and it was quite evident in many videos of virtual networks. Many viewers believed that the skirt of this dress was cut and sewn in half an hour!

It is interesting to know that Jonathan Anderson; The creative director of Henry Louve also received the best designer of the year award at the same ceremony.

In your opinion, who is responsible for this incident or mistake more than anyone else?

Brand designers

celebrity

Or a stylist?

In this regard, we had a conversation with two prominent stylists in Iran's fashion and fashion industry at Sarak's Closet to see where the problem is and who should take responsibility for these mistakes.

Ms. Sahar Mousavi, stylist and director of drstyle, told us about this dress:

“This dress has an obvious defect for any reason. First of all, Taylor Russell's stylist must fully supervise the process of clothing preparation, final work output, clothing fit, ironing, etc.; But in the end, despite the clothes' flaws, the stylist had to do his supervisory duty by controlling the clothes and the way Taylor stood in front of the media camera, so that the clothes' flaws were less visible. Unfortunately, the necessary care has not been taken in this case.”

Ms. Anahita Ebadi, who works as a stylist, explained about this dress:

“Satin fabric is one of the fabrics that has a very sensitive seam due to its slipperiness. Choosing this fabric for such a ceremony that has a lot of lighting and the flash of cameras is added, requires more careful consideration. The stylist could help the celebrity to cover up the clothing flaws by suggesting suitable poses; For example, the shape of the fingers in this photo not only did not help the celebrity, but also emphasized the fault of the dress.

A not-so-lovely recreation of Valentino

The sidelines of the Fashion Awards did not end there.

Anne Hathaway's presence in this evening was not without side effects. Anne, who appeared in a recreated Valentino dress at the event, turned her back on the cameramen and reporters present at the event in an unexpected move. Oba was trying to fix his clothes as if they did not fit him. After this, he calmly smiled at the audience and tried to maintain his appearance.

Mrs. Ebadi's opinion about this dress and the feeling of discomfort Anne Hathaway had in it is not without grace:

The main example of this dress is from the 1993 collection of Valentino brand, which has been recreated with changes in the collar and shoulder size. Due to the flatness of Anna's chest and the low shoulder width of the dress and the high neckline, this dress was not a suitable option for this celebrity. In addition to these cases, the strips sewn on the dress also put a lot of emphasis on the collar, which indicates the wrong performance of the stylist due to the model's lack of comfort from the collar's stability. At the same time, the horizontal cut on the back of the dress, which is much lower than the waistline, has made the height of Hathaway appear short.

Mrs. Mousavi gave a constructive criticism to those who work in the field of style and expressed their opinion about this dress:

“Besides the beauty of appearance and clothes, the issue that stylists need to pay attention to is the comfort of people in clothes. In this look, the stylist could have used dress fixers so Anne Hathaway wouldn't have to control her dress in person and in front of reporters. Basically, what we see is that the collar of the dress has not come down too much, but its heaviness gives the wearer the feeling that the collar has moved down. This issue causes this feeling to be annoying during the ceremony and as long as the person is wearing the dress. As a result, it directs the person's focus to his clothes, and unfortunately, behind this smile, there is a disturbing feeling; The sense of clothing that may fall off at any moment.”

The fashion icon of 2023 with a dress that was not her size

At the annual celebration of ELLE magazine, which was held with the theme of the best and most influential women in Hollywood, Jennifer's presence also made news. Jennifer Lopez participated in this event wearing a dress from the American brand Grace Ling

As you know, Jennifer Lopez has a very fit physique and body; But the skirt of this dress did not fit Jennifer well in the middle of the body and waist. In the meantime, some people believed that her make-up was not suitable and that the attractiveness of Lopez's face was reduced.

The audience knew that these cases were caused by the negligence of Jennifer's stylist. We asked Ms. Mousavi's opinion about this dress.

“Regarding Jennifer's dress, it seems that the size of the dress was not suitable for her.

There are two guesses for this error:

1. Jennifer has had a partial size change and resizing has not been done for her.

2. Jennifer did not have feathers for this dress.

Because even if we accept that she had a size change in the stomach area, Omi's stylist could have had better control over Jennifer Lopez's appearance by requesting changes to parts of the dress, including raising the waist of the dress and more freedom in the silhouette of the skirt – an A silhouette with a very low slope. .”

Presenting an attractive and flawless image for famous people and celebrities is one of the main and important duties of their stylist. As their name suggests, these people must make sure that the client or the celebrity appears in the best possible condition in special and important events such as red carpets, TV shows, attending fashion shows, etc.

Mrs. Abedi also had some suggestions for stylists by which they can fix body defects:

“The most important point to pay attention to in personal styling is body shape; In such a way that we can create more fitness and beauty by using cutting, fabric, etc. In some cases, showing the original form of the body and its faults is a sign of protest movements and interest in the original form of the body; But in the case of this dress, we don't get that intention from Jennifer's side. Because in the pictures taken from other camera angles, there is no physical defect and it shows that a person with awareness can control these defects to some extent.

The shape of the top of the skirt, which has a curved shape and the sharp corners on both sides, make the viewer's eye unconsciously move towards this body defect. If instead of this curve and sharpness, we had a straight line in the waist line, this problem would be less noticeable; Because the material used in the upper body and shadows such as low and high on the chest and placing it next to the upper corners of the skirt, has made us see the body shape with defects from the half face.

Conclusion

Definitely, flaws in the execution and production of clothes, choosing it and the wrong style according to the body type, or even the inappropriate fit of clothes, etc. are some of the things that are inevitable in the world of ordinary people; But when it comes to red carpets, important events and celebrity appearances, there are different views and expectations. Because the most famous stylists, famous and high-level fashion houses with world honors, are expected to be more careful and careful in their choices.
