Description le 12 julliet 2008
Done in permanent marker (fine and ultrafine point).

Every time a new season of Project Runway starts up I get the strongest urge to play designer. I probably shouldn't be encouraged at this, but it's only for fun anyway.

The theme of my "collection" is the modernization of fairy tale/nursery rhyme characters. In the end, there should be twelve of them (or twenty-four, if you count both the evening and casual looks on each page). Suggestions for characters to update are both welcomed and encouraged!

This time, it's The Little Mermaid. There wasn't a specific season in mind this time, but the sea (ie, the colors and pearl accessories) was my primary muse so I suppose you can attribute this look to summer (it's sleeveless and everything). Add in a touch of Disney magic (ie, the red hair; I was feeling nostalgic ^^ ) and you've got this design. As for the wavy fabric, I got the idea to use it from this dress (and another one a lot like it). Yes, it was one of the designs featured on Project Runway. Specifically, it was one of Santino's (Season 2) from his Fashion Week collection. I think this is my favorite design so far, but probably only b/c the colors strike me.

Other designs in this collection (listed in order of submission):

Little Bo Peep
Little Red Riding Hood
Rapunzel
Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Mary, Mary Quite Contary

Here's hoping I put it in the right section...

I want to say this reminds me of Italy somewhat. But for sure this is one of my favorite works from you the wavy. Looks gives it a aquatic feel like the ocean moving or fins. Then the jewelery accessory gives the royalty feel to her. I like the way you did the wavy hair as well.

Italy? Hmm...interesting. Wasn't even thinking of Italy (honestly, I was probably thinking of Disney )

Thank you! I thought waves was a good theme for an outfit inspired by the ocean/mermaids.

Ah, so someone caught that! ^^ Props! I didn't want anyone to focus on the girls themselves, so I left all distinguishing features off.

If you've got suggestions as to which character(s) I should do next, lay them on me. They have to come from fairy tales or nursery rhymes, though.

Hmm the only one's I can think of are Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Belle and Jasmine. The basic Disney Princesses.

Hehe, I'm not trying to do Disney princesses, actually. Still, I can use the first four since they're based on actual fairy tales. Thanks ^^
