Passion for Fashion

I have decided to join in Scrapboutique's Passion for Fashion competition, well if I can keep up with 8 weeks anyway......

Now I am not a fashion sort of girl although I wish I was.  I said to some girlfriends the other day that I need a Stylist.
I am a bit of a jeans and top sort of girl.  I would love to be able to pull together a few layers and colors, not the plain style I feel safe in.
It's a work in progress and maybe by joining in this competition I will learn a bit more.

First week is Haute Couture.  We were given a run down on what this means (and I even had to Google some images to get an idea)

Haute Couture (or high fashion)- This category includes the very chic, one-of-a-kind, the custom-made and designer's collections.
Colours - Unusual and rare.
Lines - Unusually layered, fitted to suit, very specific individual taste.
Textures - Unusual and rare materials.
Effect - One-of-a-kind, very unique, tres chic
Needs of customer - Custom-made, designer's originals, very expensive.
Favourite Accessory - Coordinated, matching and custom made pieces.
Note: Notice the unusual layers, unique and one-of-a-kind designs.

Now many of the images I came across were very dramatic and made a statement so I drew my inspiration from images like this:

To create this:

I really wanted to create more layers and folds but the red paper had a clashing back side and it just wouldn't work  I had scrapped a photo similar to this some time ago so I decided to just use the title She.  A bit more dramatic??

Here are some close ups for you too:

So I will let my Stylist know that I would like a bit of Haute Couture added to my wardrobe.  Honestly, if you don't have anything to do, Google some images.  Just amazing.

Well I do have something to do, it's called work.

So until next time, happy Fashion exploring to you.  Maybe you can join in the fun at Scrapboutique.
