Sorry! I've been really busy with school work and all…plus, I'm a part time fashion designer (albeit a slightly wonky one) Btw, if you click on a link and came here, good job!
These two (known as the "Robot skin suit" and the "leaf dress") are some of my favorites! I so wish I could get these on the market….
The "Tree dress" is a little wacky, with its ring (as the notes say) "general fluff" and the sudden flare at the bottom, but I could SO see this on the red carpet. But then again, the stuff that makes it to the red carpet these days tend to show a lot more skin….
The dragon dress. As my critic, J.M. (aka mom) says "Impressive". I said "Is this a sign I'm going mad?" (that's not a bad thing btw!)
All of these outfits can be found in my spring 2014 collection "Says who?"©.
I never said I was normal!
For a school project, I have to create a coat of arms. I actually am going to make a whole crest, including a pair of pronghorns, my own personal trade mark and motto (Lorem ispum et genus {home is family}), a horny toad, Phoenix, and a black swan. Once I get my grade, I'm going to take it home and hang it up in my room where I can see it every day. Cool, huh? It might add to the worldly-ness of my room….
Recently I've been really into designing, listening to New Country music, and surfing the internet, specifically to learn the 2013 fall dress fads for designing. I actually made two "Fashion Inspire Pages". You can do it too! Here's how:
You'll Need:
- A computer
- Access to the internet
- Access to a color printer
- Scissors
- Glue
- Paper, or the cover of a notebook
- Pencils (colored and regular)
- About an hour of time
Here's how to do it:
- Surf the internet (Google images is good) for photos of outfits, dresses, hair styles, heels, jewelry, nail designs, or some combo there of. If you design women's clothing, be VERY careful what you search for.
- If you're having trouble coming up with what to search, click here: top ten fashion designers! Find your designer, and search for his/her designs. Or you could try Anna Sui, who is my favorite designer.
- Still having trouble? Try searching for drawings, or collections, or if you have a particular style you have trouble drawing, search that. I seriously suggest you check out "crazy high heels". You would be surprised what people do to their poor feet (even if it does look great - I really like designing heels that probably give people ankle issues).
- Each time you find a photo you really like, save it to your desktop or to a folder.
- Take all those photos and put them on a document. Size them the way you want them (your favorites bigger?)
- Click the button. The one labeled "print".
- Cut out all those photos - I know it's a pain….
- Glue those photos on that piece of paper or notebook cover. Collage them all crazy - upside down? One on top of each other?
- Pencil little notes all over. (ex. "I <3 this!" "Crocodile skin rocks" "Goldfish? Seriously?")
- If it's a notebook cover, be sure to put your name on it! If it's just a piece of paper, staple it into your fashion notebook, give it to me, or put it up on your already sagging pin board.
Here's what it looks like when your done:
 |
| This is on the cover of my notebook. This is the first time I had done something like this, so this is actually pretty good. Notice the variety of styles, colors, and sizes of photos. |
 |
| This is my second Fashion Inspire Page (maybe we should just call it "FIP") and I stapled it into my notebook. My favorite photos are at the edges or in the middle, and are usually bigger. I'm done now. |
