Steal It!!

                I am doing a fashion magazine and all fashion is basically stolen. Let’s be honest there is only so many ways threads can be cut. Therefore, even the runway fashions are stolen from previous trends. That is of course one of the biggest draw backs of fashion because it is so hard to come up with a piece that is unique and does not mimic a previous trend. But then again this can be very helpful for designers because there is so much to be inspired by when creating their own line.

            Therefore, I decided to focus on the Autumn/Winter Runway in Milan last fall. All the designers had incredible designs but the designer I decided to focus on is Elie Sabb. Her pieces, mainly dresses and pantsuits were all red, white, or black. In order to really steal these trends I decided to sketch my own outfits based on her line. I am changing the cut of the fabric but I am stealing the fabric designs. This line had incredible fabrics and every single fabric had some kind of sparkle which I absolutely love! Something about glitter goes hand and hand with glamour; which really made this line stand out to me. Of course I could not redesign all of the outfits (for there are 48 of them). Therefore, I choose to take the fabric from five and redesign the outfit.

You can check out her line at - http://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/autumn-winter-2013/couture/elie-saab
The five I decided to steal are below, except I changed the design but kept the fabrics the same  (some fabric colors may differ from the actual ones on vogue but that is because I did not have those colors).
