Stardoll Fashion Week Take Over - Day 1.

Hello and welcome! Mary is posting here with the 'Backstage Diaries by M' within Stardoll's Most Wanted SFW Take Over 2010! Want to introduce the project first!


Stardoll Fashion Week was launched in July, 2010 by Fashion Group and the first show - just like in the reality - will take part in the end of September and will show Stardoll designers' Spring-Summer'2011 collections. The main idea of it is that anyone, who can draw good, and - even more possibilities here! - can make Stardoll graphics - can take part, and his/her designs can even be selling in Starplaza! I've sent a mail to Stardoll and they gave me an email adress of their creative director, so now I talk with them through mail! I hope they will consider our ideas, (but knowing Stardoll...) even if not - attempts are never wrong and we will still get a lot! Imagine, all the Stardoll magazines are using your own brand, not only Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton... So, if you think you have a potential, what are you waiting for? Click here to participate!
Also - here you have time only till Saturday - if you have a blog or a project, you can register as one of the media partners and your logo will be on a spoiler and SFW official site! Click here to sign up here, too.

And so, back to the Backstage! I will tell you all the inside scoop of  the SFW and it will look like a diary of me here. Let's start?

Last three days were a huge step up for us. So much media partners! We have now 10 designers - means 10 clothing lines on the show already. Have I mentioned we're accepting applies till 15th of August? So, I am one of the designers too. I am now thinking how to go with a name here, though  I like 'seventy one'. Well, I was born on the numbers like that :) I love the simplicity of Egle's and Ellen's line, called 'Fantasy Couture'. Also, I've seen Dioguardi Couture outfit No 1 - graphics are impressive! Pretty fun, but Anthony and Manolo like to go annoying sometimes. You know, Anthony is like a total nerved kid ahah :) He is fun! But we've decided not to talk often so we wont bite each other! That's how it works with different groups! Dress of my design will be on the spoiler on Sunday. Yes! Here and only, I'll first introduce an SFW spoiler and give you a hint to my collection, as long as I don't want to give out the designs of other designers.
But you know, sometimes not everything is so organized! I accidentally sent a song to the chat of Christina and Becka - two my greatest in the world assistants and Charlie - the editor-in-chief of Eternity Magazine. Guess what? If you've seen the Skype status of Charlie with 'Indecision is annoying!" - its' from a famous Tiesto's Song 'Escape Me' . That's the part when we had fun chatting a lot f hours about music. How I went to sleep?
Duh!
[01.08.2010 22:29:42] Chachi: yeah :D but the girl, imagine how sad she would have been cause... tiestoo :D
[01.08.2010 22:29:52] Mary: escaped her? :D
[01.08.2010 22:30:25] Chachi: yes :D
[01.08.2010 22:30:34] Chachi: I'm still lisening to that btw 8-)
[01.08.2010 22:30:42] Mary: :D
[01.08.2010 22:34:26] Mary: I am 'escaping you'
[01.08.2010 22:34:30] Mary: with my bed
[01.08.2010 22:34:35] Mary: :D
[01.08.2010 22:34:36] Chachi: :O
[01.08.2010 22:34:39] Chachi: how dare you :D
[01.08.2010 22:34:54] Mary: ahahah you didn't 'take me to the bar..'
[01.08.2010 22:35:04] Chachi: your 'indecision is annoying...'
[01.08.2010 22:35:38] Mary: ahahah
[01.08.2010 22:35:39] Mary: okay
[01.08.2010 22:35:46] Mary: have fun with 'bottles under tiresss'
[01.08.2010 22:35:55] Mary: 'forget about friend, she is gone to bed!'
[01.08.2010 22:36:01] Chachi: (rofl)
Who will listen to the song, will get everything what was said last night, and oh my oh God, Charlie sent to me an inspiration for the runway show. She never allowed me to show the pic of her with a WILD make up and lips on a half of the face and blue eyeshadow on the other part. She is begging me not to post the photo and I have to give up that idea, but I would still love to post it somewhere ahah  :D Friends are friends!

On the other news, I will send you an exclusive right now.
This is what I send to all the designers to make their own runway. I care about their creativity level and I want them ro express themselfs as much as possible, so here's the runway mockup.
Designers can use any decoration their imagination will come up with - you can check it when you zoom in the picture! And how would you decorate it?

  40. @Nadine Tab: Instead of buying an expensive photoshop like Photoshop CS4 and even pay the updates (which are super expensive, and frequents) you can LEGGALLY download a portable version of Photoshop CS4 which means it's leggally free and you don't need to install it on your pc ans also you can put it in a pen and open it in any other computer. I did it, and it works just fine :)

    ReplyDelete
  41. I don't think you can sell photoshop or any copies. They can always download a trial for free. I only have the photoshop book, but not the cd. Wow you go to FAU Mary what's your major? I was going to go there, but may to USF has a great campus also.

    It sounds like a good idea, can't wait to see what happens.^.^

  42. Jenna, I am a good drawer, I like to draw my own designs, dresses.. but I am not a good graphic maker. I just don't make them that good.
    I have a tablet and photoshop - I have drew many designs.. I am scared to make my own label Like DG.
    Can someone help me what to do? Or.. can someone just make graphics for me? Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Great!! haha i am rubbish at graphics :L

    ReplyDelete
  44. I just want to state for people who have concerns about piracy.

    This blog has nothing to do with the selling of CS4. That is Mary's project at FAU.

    Please do not discuss it in this post.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Wow. This is fabulous. It sounds really exciting and I can see that you guys have put so much effort in it. :) I can't wait to see spoilers. Btw, do you have seats like in real runway shows? :D Can I have a first-row one please? Lol, just kidding. Or not. Who knows :) xo

    ReplyDelete
  48. this is truly a great oppritunity for those who are very creative on graphics!

    ReplyDelete
  49. It's great chance for many amazing graphic designers around, but these stardoll things are going a little 'too much' for me.
    I'm rather sticking with reality than being crazy for just graphics.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Cool! Love the runway :D Can't wait to see more!
