Mybrids..

My manager at work and I have an ongoing joke about Hybrid Costumes.. You know those costumes that are a mixture of half man/half woman? Like the bride and groom all-in-one-costume, frequently seen at the Inflatible Chapel at festivals. Or the Flamenco Lady Dancer and Bull Fighter Man. We have started to "plan" our own "company" of these Hybrid Costumes, entitled "Mybrid". I'm not so sure how successful we will be...
Anyway, while browsing the internet, I came across a rather fantastic Hybrid to rival one of our combinations (Boxer Man/Boxer's Girlfriend is one of our own inventions..) These are actually rather beautiful skirt/dress/coat outfits hybrids, made by a recent St-Martins Graduate Michael Van Der Ham . They featured in the Central St Martins A/W 09 ready-to-wear show. I really hope his designs are more successful than our faux ones. His are much better. And more beautiful. And wearible. And all round more fabulous.
These designs definitely proved him worthy to win the L'Oreal Professional Fashion Design Award in my opinion.

Have a nice week!
Peace, Fi xx

Interesting idea! I like when two halves of the same garment are constructed what most would consider wrong. As in topsy turvy, crooked, hanging off, etc.
