New Fashion Sketches

First up, we have one left hand side a dress inspired by the whole rugged mountaineer fur jacket look, with the jacket ending midriff, with baggy high-waist pants. Its a very mannish look. And in contrast with that, we have the princessy look on the right. I came up with that actually as a joke, to ask Jaystine to put that extremely girly dress on for prom.

Next, we have the peasant styles. I'm quite entranced by the looks of the commoners and workers of the renaissance period, and did these two sketches to reflect the 'styles' of that time. The left side one is more masculine, with the Aladdin styled pants and vest, and feathers, while the right side one has more feminine milk-maid look. It reminds me of the good ole' days of simpler times, where the biggest problem they had to deal with was 'who milks the cow today'.

Here on the bottom left we have sort of a cargo pants / jumpsuit hybrid. It starts off as a jacket-styled top, but then as it progresses down it becomes cargo pants. It began as two seperate pieces but I decided to just combine them and make it more ridiculous. The one on the right is inspired by Russian military coats, infused with the russian doll sleeves.

Dresses That Would Never See The Runway

These are 3 dresses that I designed today. The top left one is basically inspired by nothing. I wanted to do straps again, then decided to add a skirt below, with a slit. The one on the right is inspired by a cake. Cause cake has layers, and the dress has layers. It could also have been inspired by an onion. But cake seems much more tasteful.

This one right here is very Qi Pao inspired. It's very chinese, except for the asymmetrical skirt. It's of different length, as you can see. The varying length doesn't serve any purpose, of course. It's just to look 'sexy'. But seriously, how sexy can it get when there's like flowers all around it. I wanted to do a dragon but that would be too masculine (and too difficult). Kind of like Fergie in a dress.

New Dress

I was talking to Charlyn (again) yesterday, and somehow we started talking about Tae Kwon Do uniforms as fashion items. So I improved on the robe idea and came up with this floral print robe-ish thing.

The Naughtier Stuff

The one on the left is an upgraded version of the previous 'poncho' dress. It's a naughtier version, with crisscrossing laces all the way down the front and shorter, more outrageous sleeves. Charlyn insists that it be made 'fitting'. The one on the left is the strappy black dress, made entire by wrapping the model in black straps.

Fashion Designing.. At It's Very Best (even I'm not convinced..)

One of my many whims... was to do fashion designing. And these are 2 sketches that I impulsively did. The one on the left is inspired by the rain poncho I was wearing at home (don't ask), the one on the right is greek inspired.

Oh damn they're both so unoriginal and boring. I suck at this. I should just go burn my pencils now.
