As you'll all know, each year BOSL does a huge fashion week. This showcases all sorts of designs and designers. During the week was the Retro Show and doubly-nerve shredding as this was the first official appearance of the candidates for Miss Virtual World 2013.
If you didn't see the show, you missed one of the most amazing builds I think I have seen. A psychedelic extravaganza of colour, liberally splashed with icons of vintage culture.
The brief for the styling was pretty wide, so we all had a lot of latitude to plan and find a style. The range of time was the 1920's to the 1970's, not a lot to play with there then!!! One of my favourite films is "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" and being blonde myself, I took the inspiration for my styling from that film. One of Marilyn's gowns from that film is the iconic pink one she wore, so I went for the same style, but in red. Keeping in mind the 1940's - 1950's look, I added a fur stole for a touch of glamour.
