Challenge Two

 

Shoe inspiration is Wild Wolf Kumi's gladiator boots.  With the pair of boots she will go to the masquerade ball dressed
as a dark phantom.  Her corset is vintage lace over black satin with oversized ruffles on straps attached to show her
fierceness.  Corset can be removed to show her more simple side, a black crystal organza pleated layer over flesh tone
satin and lining super mini dress with puffy sleeves.

Challenge Three

I wanted my entry to be using something cool and functional in everyday life, turned into an idea of stylized
dark fantasy.  Andro in Wanderland has some really gritty fashion, with a snakeskin printed jersey body suit adorned
with Swarovski crystals, poofed up with a side gather high waisted mini skirt, embolden with an armor of zipper vest
with detachable shoulder details and finished with a supersized zipper head ribbon, as well as zipper heads as earrings.
  She is the warped Andro in Wanderland, seeking the Blood Red Queen for a game of deathly hallows, and her outfit is
interchangeable to allow her flexibility for anything the Blood Red Queen throws her way!

Challenge Four

Looking forward in fashion sometimes means looking back because fashion is a cycle.  In something new we always find something familliar to identify with, only then can we assimilate that feature into our subconscious and register it to our consciousness. 

My design is a mish mash of things familliar and put together to become something both unfamilliar and ever changing as the pieces can be worn and styled in many ways - from cyberraga to geisha, from the feminine to the dangerous - that is being on the fashion edge.

A black jersey with cowl neck featuring a contrast fushcia color, with strong shoulders and a skirt of black sequin scales, worn with a cape of black jersey with black sequin scales on edge, finished with a pair of striking fushcia silver streaked tights.  Accessorized with a sequin scaled ear piece that can be used as a breast plate, and a headband.

Challenge Five

Arriving on the red carpet is singer and actress, Lady Andro, wearing a beautiful oriental inspired gown.  She is being nominated for best actress award this evening and looks absolutely stunning in this two piece ensemble - a corset chiffon top with a train embroidered with oriental branches and sprinkled with Swarovski crystals matched with a beautiful slender silk satin skirt with similar themed oriental branches and handsewn beadings.  Check out that neckline, she would definitely have my vote for hottest lady in the house!  Here's wishing her the best of luck in tonight's nomination because she has some fierce competition too.

Challenge Six

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone." as quoted by the late Audrey Hepburn, a beautiful lady who didn't admit she was but who inspired millions with her brand of style and flair as well as an attitude towards life that reflected her soul perfectly. 

Here's Misaki in a simple wrap around jersey kimono dress with volume, accented with braids on the hem and pulled together with a beautiful leather braided belt, finished with braided headpiece and Audrey's signature ballet flats.

Challenge Seven

The Cocktail Party - Meeting Don Draper for the first time after having heard of him from the lips of all the ladies at the meets was just pure excitement for Ginger Marshall.  She is new in town and know that the best, and fastest, way to climb up the social ladder is to snag her the hottest man in town. Who cares if he's married, word on the circuit is that any gal with a finesse, flair and discretion could land herself a lucrative career in his company.

Ginger has to impress at the cocktail party held by the advertising company tonight.  What better way to catch a man's attention than a gorgeous champagne coloured cocktail dress with gorgeous organza petals overlaying a silk satin base, with a bosom that has a petal fold that says "I'm unfolding for you only" revealing a bosom of Swarovski crystals.  What decent, or indecent, man can resist?  Of course, she has to mean business so everything ties up with a big black, satin ribbon bow.  Don Draper, beware, there's a new gal in town!

Challenge Eight

Lillith is on her way to Athens to shoot her latest ad campaign, attend a party that could make or break her career and then woo the man of her dreams.. All in one trip. Unfortunately the paparazzi are hot on her heels and her luggage mysteriously got lost in transit. What's a girl to do?
Lillith went to Greece sporting a very trendy look and in her signature shade of purple but it isn't enough for a historical city like Athens. With no cash or credit, she has to think of something to wear tonight to reflect the city's vibrant and historical culture.
Using the skills honed from her formative years of being a teen model, she uses whatever she has on to transform her look from day to evening. Her versatile dress was too long but she didn't have time for the tailor so she hiked it up during the flight, for the evening, she just let's it loose. With her reversible wrap, she wears it in the day to protect her from the cold and at night, she turns it inside out for a glamourous touch. Her handmade necklace is used to hold up her dress for the evening as a touch of detail and with no hair stylist in tow, she uses her tights as a head wrap.
With her transformation, she hopes to win the hearts of the Greek and hopefully the man of her dreams.
