Child-like Style

[titania]

I just love the child-like look, I think it's so cutesy !! I've always imagined designing a collection based on and inspired by my, my sister's and my cousin's childhood, even though I'm no designer.... yet .

And by the way, great pics everyone!! There's this baby pink and black polka dot cardigan my cousin owned that I'd just love to have now!! And this white, baby blue, baby pink and baby yellow jellybean-print tunic that I used to wear with baby blue tights and white ankle strap sandals..... Oh, and these little striped braces with bunnies we used to wear..... I'm loving this thread, you guys!!

looked her up on google...(I couldnt get the link to work on tfs)... I couldnt find a whole lot just by quickly looking. But I'm assuming that the Mary Quant was a huge influence for the comics that I posted on the last page...

that's strange, the link doesn't work anymore for me either
maybe now?

She also designed a doll in the 70s with very cute packaging (illustrations) and paperdolls & related merchandise~ a few examples:

ack! I always forget we have this thread!

Dressing 'childlike' is very where i'm at right now. Putting my hair back with a fun barrette or wearing very sort of 'childish' tees but mixing that with something a lot more grown up. Mixing proportions so some things seem huge and others small.....I quite like all the juxtapositions myself.

Didn't Mary Quant invent the mini skirt? I think I learned that in school..

^to be honest,I completely agree,Mullet. The last few posts,to me,look more grown-up Mod than child-like. In this,there should be a literal connotation(even if uber-subtle)of naivete like what you posted and what's been posted in previous pages.

 

[goosemaster]

yeah I agree too, but it's fun to see peoples thoughts as to what is. So I still like them.
