I found Myself in Wonderland*

The other week I saw the new movie Alice in Wonderland. Unfortunately it disappointed me a bit, it didn't live up to the expectations. The story itself was not that special in this movie. The special effects, costumes made up for it, but my imagination was wild compared to the result of this movie. It could be due to the fact, we all know the Alice in Wonderland story and the marketing of the whole concept has overblown the movie. 


If you are fashionable in some way, I'm sure you've been influenced by the whole Alice in Wonderland hype. The fashion world has been engulfed by this movie. Colleen Atwood who design the costumes in the movie as done a fabulous job!! But also designers like Zac Posen and Donatella Versace have used the concept in their collection. 

In honour of the movie, several designers have created special "alice-dresses" for the showcases of the Parisian department store Printemps. Printemps even created an "Alice-tea-room"in collaboration with Ladurée and the London based department store Selfridges had it's own Alice corner. And also O.P.I. created a collection of nailpolishes which colors are based on the characters in the movie.


For I myself have been inspired by the whole wonderland concept ever since I knew the movie was coming. Perhaps a reason why I got disappointed, because I already made a whole image of expectations about how I saw the whole concept inside my imagination. My Creative Fantasy World is currently working on a wonderland concept. I've had a few photoshoot trials, but intend to develop the whole thing in something rather professional within the next weeks. I'm still looking for collaborators, make up artists, photography assistents and characters* So if you feel inspired, please let me know..
