Dot wrote, in response to Ted's post that Erte would be a part of our next challenge,
Dear Santa Ted:
Only since it's Christmas, could you open up your bag just one more time?
You see, no matter how we research, it's kinda useless to start on anything before we know what the twist in this challenge might be............and some of us have been REALLY good and have our shopping done, and would like something to do while all the goodies are in the oven.
BTW, don't forget to stop by Christmas Eve - we'll be leaving out your traditional plate of cookies!! hehe
Merry Christmas!!
Dot
and since she has been so very very good,Ted responded with a full bag of tricks for us all:
Yum, Yum, COOKIES.
Have you all finished your Veronique challenge outfits? Can't wait to tackle the Erte challenge?
The ERTE challenge is all about INSPIRATION. This creative artist inspired the fashion designers of his era with his fantasy fashion illustrations that were published in VOGUE. His theater and film costumes further influenced the world of costume and film.
The other influence of the Art Deco period was Paul Poiret and these two artists have left a fantastic legacy behind.
So, as a modern fashion designer how would you create a modern gown inspired by the work of these two designers?
The challenge is to create a floor-length gown inspired by the Art Deco style of Erte and Poiret. The influence can take the form of pattern or silhouette.
The Dollway designers did not have an actual model doll -- only measurements and suggested "stand-in" models. The At Home designers may use any Tonner 16-inch fashion doll to model their fashions.
Alexandra and I will post images on our blogs and discuss the influences and how they might be applied to a contemporary gown
Have fun.
Ted
