Mattel made a doll in her image and this is all Hollywood could do? I'm on a rant. Fashionable friends hear me roar! WTF was that dress on Christina Hendricks, star of Emmy winning Mad Men??? That dress is a Mad Mess! As a former Hollywood Stylist, I've dressed women from size 0 to size 30 and anyone with some taste, an ounce of style and some "pull" can get the right clothes, especially for a high profile person and event.
Noting Christina's curves and exotic features, this dress is an abomination and a throwback to the Belle Epoque. Vintage is cool, but not this fussy, f****d-up fantasy. I've seen pin-up girls on MySpace who have better clothes.
This just proves that most of today's stylists don't really understand proportion or balance and reinforces the prejudice most designers have against anyone who doesn't disappear when they turn sideways.
Hendricks is on record for saying she has had a lot of trouble getting clothes for special events and she's only a size 14 (her measurements at this writing are 39-30-39)!
Joan is one of the hottest characters on the hottest TV show,
When you're dressing one of the usual suspects, it's not a big deal to roll a few calls and arrange for delivery or pick up for a fitting. But when you have to really work at putting together everything you know about dressing "bodies" vs personalities, it seems that most can't deliver.
Special thanks for Zac Posen for giving it a shot.
