I went to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston this week to catch their latest Fashion Exhibit. I think they are cashing in on Project Runways popularity. The exhibit is 2006 Spring fashion. There are clothing, and videos of the runway show. Time to see something new, right? I enter the exhibit and I get a blast from the past from Viktor & Rolf.

It looks as Viktor & Rolf also copied the skirt design of the Oleg Cassini wedding worn by Jacqueline Kennedy!!

I know this was posted a long time ago and your probably thinking... who cares? But as a fashion design student if I had designed a dress I would want to be recognized for it.
Oleg Cassini DID NOT design Jackie's wedding dress. The actual designer was ANN LOWE....
Just though I should correct the comment left before. And as you can see this must have been where Viktor & Rolf got their inspiration... that and of course the pattern you posted.
[Jacqueline Bouvier and John F. Kennedy married on September 12, 1953, at Newport, Rhode Island. The bride's gown and the bridesmaids' dresses were made by Ann Lowe, a well-known black fashion designer]
P.S. Great Blog!!!
I look forward to many more post!
