Stardoll Fashion Week Day 6: Ostentatious + Exclusives

Today was an amazing turnout for Stardoll Fashion Week. All of Stardoll was crazed when a surprise collection was going to be making its' debut and then everyone went even crazier (if possible) once it was released. Alice Fare (otherwise known as Hunnigall) was that surprise designer. Her surprise collection was Ostentatious.

Here's how she describes the brand:
"For this collection I was inspired by the magic of Asia. After watching the movie Tekken (perhaps not a literal connection to asian culture, but nonetheless inspiring) I was caught by the elements of girl power. See, Tekken tells a story of a fighter, they fight for a living in times of desperation; women included, and it was this power they exuded that made me think: so what if they wear skimpy clothing? I can reinvent that; perhaps not in a sensible manner for sport, but I can sill use those elements of power and strength to create an outfit that tells a story. Particularly the shoes express how impressive and fearful a strong woman is; but also how feminine and mysterious they are. My vision was to mould my own interpretations of strength into something beautiful; and this is what was formed. Ostentatious."
Alice is such a good friend of mine and seeing her succeed means everything to me because of the fact that this is really what she likes to do. It's a hobby of hers. For me and hopefully for her, this collection opens a new chapter in her career as a Stardoll and real-life designer. Her vision was a lot more powerful than practically all the collections we've seen this week. Her idea of power and strength in a piece of clothing is so much more than a sequin attached to a dress. It makes the collection so much more believable. It's what fashion is all about, the fashion should be alive.

Honestly, Alice's graphics have exceeded the limits of what people are expecting to see on Stardoll. She has raw and professional talent. She makes art. And although she only constructed five looks, they were the most executed of the week. The makeup, the fashion, the art - the dream. The runway was even more then just a propped-up floorboard. Runways help present a collection and Alice knows that. This runway was so articulate and it really created a complete vision.

Alice, I am so proud of you. You are Stardoll Fashion Week!
