SFW S/S 2011!

Hey all! It's been a long time since I've posted something, eh? :(

Well, this time I have some good news - Fashion Week is coming back!

Here's what Becka says about the event :

"Stardoll Fashion Week SS'12 is coming, everybody! And with a whole summer in which to plan, you can expect SO MANY new features, competitions and ideas! "

I'm personally curious about all these things and whole fashion week! Also, you can now apply as designer or media partner. If you have a magazine, make sure to get in, too! Good luck for all the applicants, as I see from the ones who have applied yet, there are many undiscovered talents!

If you aren't sure yet if you would like to take a part in the biggest stardoll fashion event, don't worry - you can apply 'till the 7th August.

Talking about Stardesigners, there are going to be some changes, so if you want to be a one, better make your print really good. However, there's plenty of time to make your design fantastic, because Stardesigners will have to show their talent later.

"We will be asking for Stardesigners nearer the time. However, due to the medium success of having so many designers last time around, we have decided that there will only be 5 designer spots in the upcoming week. That way we can focus publicity and nobody will be forgotten! Also, only one print per designer, but they can sell two items in that print."

Good luck everyone! I can't wait to fill my wardrobe with even more masterpieces!

I personally can't wait to the Fashion week, though I'm not sure that I will be applying. What about you? Share your thoughts in comments! :)

Let's talk graphics-SFW Magazines

While SFW has released some amazing couture lines, I have to admit that my guilty pleasure is seeing all the magazines!

Many have just amazing graphics! Just by looking at them you can see how much effort was put into them!
The 2 magazines who's graphics stood out the most to me were Runway's and Forever Chic's.

I really loved Runway's Perfume editorials:

 

 

 They're just adorable, and flawless!

As For Forever Chic, these are the standouts to me:

 

I love the nautical mixed with all the splashes of color!

I love the spring feel to this, and the color of the skirt in contrast to the background.

I really love this dress and the pose is so cute!

However there were some magazines that were not up to par.

Cyanide was one of these to me. The graphics were on the simple side and lacked some of the realism and depth that the 2 magazines above brought to the table.

A couple of the poses were simple like this

and the hair seemed very stiff. 

Overall I just wasn't very impressed with the graphics.

And now on to what I see to be the greatest disappointment: Red Lips Magazine  

There is just so many things wrong with this cover image. 

First of all the body is obviously a picture and not a graphic!

Secondly the covergirlis suposed to be me (liajm) and looks nothing like me!

A big rule in modeling is not to change your skin tone-so what is up with this cover!

I think the cover is the worst part, because honestly there are some nice parts to it.

I liked the beauty segment and some of the graphic are pretty cute:

UPDATE: if you read the last page of Red Lips Magazine there is an apology in which it states that her computer broke down and she had to make the whole magazine in ONE DAY. Wow that really puts things into perspective...

Anyways, what did you think of the SFW Magazines?

SFW reviews : Day 1

Long time no see, eh? Sorry all, I was really busy with Fantasy, you can see the collection today... And I'm sorry that review is late, I thought I want to make it complete so I didn't finished yesterday :D Hope it's ok.

Also, I would like to tell you about my reviews. I will be talking about collection, whats wrong and whats right, about the models, make-up, hairstyles,etc., chosing my favorite outfit, and... the model of the night - the girl, who absolutely rocked her outfit in collection!

Let's start - SFW day 2!

Kharma by Linus Leonardsson:

The colour palette of dark green, lavander/light pink and grey looks cozy and warm. The clothes are definetely something I would wear in real life, also, the shoes are awesome! Altought graphics quality is good, not the best but good and there are only 6 pieces, collection is great.

There were only three models: .pease. , missricopenguin and yoTOO

Hairstyles are really simple, but they give a touch of carelessness and elegance. Kylie's (missricopenguin) pink hair is working very well with outfits (or maybe outfits are working well with her hair..)

Make-up wasnn't really original, but it looks great here, and as I am fan of heavy cheekbones I was satisfied with it.

I also think that designs look awesome on light skin, but dark brown just.. doesn't work.

The best outfit:

I chose this, because I am completely inlove with the pants, I would loooove to have them in real life!

The worst outfit:

Sorry, but that green dress with no form just doesn't fits here.. It's not that bad, it was actually hard to choose the worst, but I think that's the one.

The model of the night is...

...Missricopenguin!

You definetely rock Kharma's runway, the pale skin, pink hair, dark make-up and heavy cheekbones were as good as it could be for this collection. Congratulations!

BYS fashion line by Tonia Dems and Amanda O'Neill

This one definetely was my favorite of the night. Of course, that's not something for wearing in real life, but come on, that's a couture! The royal blue and blood red with black, grey, white and a touch of green looks weird, but amazing. The touch-the-sky shoes don't look really good, but they complete whole outfit and make outfits crazy, weird and couture.

Models : Syligirl, shake-something, .pease., Pauo-Watson, gabby1822, anoO_, Jay.Pattinson and pizzaqueen1

I'm dissapointed about the make-up, because it's too simple for an awesome couture line and the looks are too different. Anyways, I'm completely inlove with hairstyles, even if most of them are simple too. The first ones get me thinking about something futuristic, or circus-ish, I think that was the main idea.

The best outfit:

It was REALLY hard to choose, seriously! I also loved the blue dress with baloon skirt. But this one left me speechless, it's definetely high fashion, great design, and wonderful colors combination.

The worst outfit:

The pattern on the red part of dress looks nothing but weird and not really good, also, the wings just doesn't fit here, sorry.

Model of the night :

.pease. ! Congratulations! Your make-up was stunning and fierce, also, that blue long dress looks like created to you, you are definetely rocking it!

Full collection :

Extraordinary by Eamonn Collins and Kimberly Dean

First off, good things. I think that collection pieces were nicely matched together and I really like the colour combination - golden, purple and black works together. Now let's get to the not-so-good things.

The quality of graphics isn't really good. The 75% of designs are plain and unoriginal, sorry if it may sound rude. Also, the shoes without sole looks pretty weird. Looks like you forgot to draw it!

What about models, the names are Vinnie99, Zoe_Couture, Mery.-, Hotangel9 and Tijanu6. I like that all the models has similar make-up and hairstyles.

The best outfit:

Probably the first one, just because it stands out from the others and it's original enough. Even the graphics aren't the best, I love the bottom part of it!

The worst outfit:

Honestly, it wasn't hard to choose. The most plain, simplest and weird shaped outfit wins. Sorry again.

The model of the night:

ZOE_couture! Congratulations! I loved how you look in that hairstyle!

Complete collection :

That's it, keep your eyes open for Fantasy couture (hihihi), Monster (though I'm not sure if I will review magazines) and WOE couture by Emily Vaine reviews!
