For more contemporary stuff, let's look at the fairy tale works of Paolo Sebastian, who is prone to the same sticky sweet Disney princess sentimentality, he just does it much more elegantly. In particular, let's look at this dress from his f/w "East of the Moon and West of the Sun" collection:

With Elsa Schiaparelli's iconic lobster dress, you see form and function taking precedent over the lobster, which was painted by Salvador Dalí. It's a flirty garden party sun dress, with all the lightness and elegance that it needs.

I've been seeing this dress by Almee Couture at NYFW 2025 reblogged all the fuck over on Tumblr and..... oof. Ugh. Yeah, since I've kind of been on the subject of art in fashion, it's time to get my fashion analyst hat out.

And behind that was Giorgio Armani, king of Italian tailoring. Now, one thing about Armani is that his suits are so finely tailored that they tend to look like an ugly pile of fabric when you hang them on a mannequin.

With a return to a more traditional form of masculinity, the suits needed to match the men. This is where Giorgio Armani came in. Not only was ha making ultra-luxury suits in traditional masculine greys and blues, he was making them in a very, very modern way.
