Our favorites to win the London Design Museum awards

Seeing the full line up of the London Design Museum awards nominees, made your jaw drop didn't it? I thought I saw some drool.

Let's see Tirvani's favorites for winning the London Design Museum award in the category of fashion.

1. DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE'S WEDDING DRESS
SARAH BURTON FOR ALEXANDER MCQUEEN, LONDON, UK

We're (of course) starting with our favorite and the one we think has the bast chance of winning. 

The Duchess of Cambridge's dress is a mix of old and new. Made by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, it is modeled after Grace Kelly's wedding dress. See more on it here.

2. ALEXANDER MCQUEEN: SAVAGE BEAUTY, METROPOLITAN MUSEUM IN NEW YORK, USA

ANDREW BOLTON, CURATOR

Alexander McQueen... Is there more to say? The brand's name is synonymous with unique but not outlandish fashion; classic yet different.

The collection Savage Beauty is a cross between the wild, fiercely independent side of a woman and her lady-like counterpart. 

3. CÉLINE AUTUMN/ WINTER '11

PHOEBE PHILO AT CÉLINE, PARIS, FRANCE

Gorgeous, right? Céline's autumn/winter '11 line gave us a whole new way of looking at clean. With stark contrast and bold lines, these outfits definitely yell "Look at me!"

...And the fashion nominees are in!

Nominations for the London Design Museum awards are in. Here's a little blurb from their website:

The Design Museum’s Design Awards, ‘the Oscars of the design world’, showcase the most innovative and progressive designs from around the world, spanning seven categories: Architecture, Digital, Fashion, Furniture, Graphics, Product and Transport. A high profile judging panel will decide the best entries in each of the seven categories. Category award winners and the overall winner of the Design of the Year Award 2012 will be announced at an Awards event in April 2012.


"The Oscars of the design world"? We like that...
