An Invigorating Dose of Venom

At the end of the 104 class, we were given 1 more assignment to practice a bit more in styling and posing. We were told to style and pose an outfit inspired by our favorite designer IRL. For this, I chose Ralph Lauren's Fall/Winter 2014 line. http://www.fashiongonerogue.com/ralph-lauren-fallwinter-2014-new-york-fashion-week/ I chose this line because I really loved the Fall casuals in it. Image below is what I came up with. *Smiles*

This assignment was extremely difficult for me, in fact, I think it is the hardest one I had to do. I was given a link with a picture of a girl wearing an outfit that was kind of androgynous, and told to become inspired by it and style an outfit. Here is where I misunderstood. I didn't realize I was meant to be inspired by the specific designer, which was COMME des GARCONS, and thought that I just needed an androgynous styling. Needless to say, I didn't do so well on this assignment, and I know that next time, if I'm unclear, I really should ask and make sure so I have no doubts. BUT the look I came up with 'did' end up kind of neat, and several people liked it. SO, below is a picture with a style card. *Smiles*

Okay, so, 103's class was split in 2 classes because it was such an involved class. Here is the assignment that Ponchi gave half way through the 103 class. It was a fun assignment, and was the first time I tried to do the season color scheme to fit my skin and make me look FABULOUS. Ponchi said to think like I'm going to walk the Red Carpet going to the Oscars. Below is what I came up with, and I think it came together pretty nicely. =)

Getting back to it after I got distracted over Christmas *giggles* I'm showing the 2 outfits I styled for my second assignment. It was a little tougher because it was 2 outfits instead of just 1 and for one of them I had to really work at as it is not my usual style. But hey, this is why I wanted to go to school, to learn, and learn I have!

Outfit 1
In this first outfit, we had to come up with something inspired by the Antonio Marras Spring/Summer 2014 line. And this is the one I had the hardest time with.

* Styling based on Antonio Marras Spring/Summer 2014
(Botanical Engravings – Illustrative Landscapes – Border Prints – Distorted Portraits – Super size Cut-out Florals – Loose and Sketchy Drawings – Painterly Brush Marks – Delicate Colour Palettes – Collaged and Layered Looks)


Now the next image is what I came up with, and the style card to go with it. *smiles*

Pose: Exposeur TM Spr. '11 Makeover - Molly  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Mint%20Tulip/55/73/22

Outfit 2
In this second outfit, I had a little bit of an easier time with, but that's most likely because it was more my style, and I used this outfit to complete this other part of the assignment as well.

 (In one of the styling you have to show that you  can take an item, be creative with it and find a way to use it in a different way from it's original use. You are free to edit it if you choose.)

I had made a copy of the bracelet worn in the picture and used it as a beaded ponytail cover. It worked out pretty neat!

* Styling based on Prada Spring/Summer of 2014
  (Illustrative Style – Art Mural Portraits – Crafted Abstract Shapes – Bold Colour Combinations – Stencil Cut-outs – Collage Simplicity – Spectacular Colour Blocking – Pop Art Street Style)
