Skaters with consistently good/bad costumes

[Interspectator]

I thought Hanyu's costume made my eyes hurt but that was before I got to that vile monstrosity that Weir is wearing.

Everything is on a icy, sliding scale.
Re: Yuzu's costumes
I found myself once again screaming "Noooooo!" at my computer screen...while at the same time reaching for my sketchbook and pencils. Is it crazy? Will it make a good picture? The answer is YES to both.

Oh my lord. And that is supposed to some kind of "fashionista". Yuck.

Criticise Max's costumes all you like, but he has never made anyone want to cover their eyes and recoil in horror.

Gosh no! He might have his seamstress combine half of each costume into a red/green nightmare. :eeking:

No! My brain always automatically conjures images!

Pass the brain bleach, please!

It might be a good time to bring Kermit back for an encore. https://youtu.be/z4ZxxHbJGbY?t=7

1 of my favorite sets of costumes was Soloviev/Bobrova's Anna Karenina costumes http://www.insideskating.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Ice-dance-practice-2015-Grand-Prix-Final-52.jpg

Kostner's at least has the virtue of being streamlined...

You just never know when the College of Cardinals in the Vatican will have a need for a skater among their eminent number.

Just give him a miter and Johnnny's Good To Go.

What were you thinking, Yuzuru...

He was thinking that "These folks of GS dare to criticize my beloved costumes?! I will show them more what a fashionista i am".

Oh dear! He has combined all sorts of bad stereotypes that somehow plush fabrics, sparkles, and thrown on as an after fact chiffon flowing from one's arms and the addition of balletic dramatic hand gestures means you are an artist on ice. Shame on Yuzuru. He should know better! This is almost bad enough for the skating gods to take away at least one OGM. Where is the fashion police when you need them!

LOL

I think criticizing someone's costumes who only skates in ice shows now is kind of ridiculous.

Yuzu, however, needs a new costumer. I think part of the reason I've never warmed up to the guy is because of the frippery he dons for his programs.

 

[narcissa]

I think consistency in costumes is overrated or at least I'd never think of it that way, but how much someone's costumes inspire me(I like designing clothes ) so I couldn't care less of the next one if some of them are a hot mess. Skaters like Kiira Korpi have good costumes but none have inspired me (personally), but I've been inspired by a couple skaters that are hit or miss, like:

Sasha Cohen (Romeo and Juliet at the Olympics - gorgeous draping , gorgeous dip dye of Rachmaninoff)
Yuna Kim (Giselle)
Gracie Gold (The simple red and black of El Choclo)
Wakaba (beautiful beaded neckline of that navy Skyfall dress she wore for half a season)
Yuzu's Chopin 1.0 and 3.0 (beautiful ombre)
Satoko Miyahara (Madame Butterfly)

Yuzu's costumes, tbh I wouldn't change a thing because to me it's part of his appeal in many ways. I absolutely love Requiem, the program and the costume, even if I wouldn't wear it (wouldn't look good on me anyway). It's maybe my favorite program of all time.

He never looks bad in his costumes. And it's weird since some of his costumes can be true horrors.

I haven't looked through the entire thread but, Surya Bonaly had famously bad costumes and make up to go along with it.

I love Surya's costumes Not because they're beautiful, no no no most of them are infamous. But she looked so much like a sci-fi character
