I've worked my way all the way through this thread and am amazed that no one has posted the first thing that came to my mind: the book Fairie-ality which presents itself as a fashion line created for faeries.

I'm still very new and can't seem to find a way to post images from my work computer, but googling image files with Fairie-ality will show you why it belongs.

Better yet, www.Fairie-ality.com/FairyDetails

Hope you don't mind.

I just found the first film version of "Alice in Wonderland" on youtube
The original negative is severely damaged, so the quality is far from amazing, but I think it's worth a look

Alice In Wonderland 1903/2006 (duration= 09:13)

how about the Nina Ricci campaign for the perfume? I's absolutely gorgeous.

London Calling: Wonderland

Every year the Graham Webb Artistic Hair Styling Team comes up with hair-cutting collections that reflect trends, experiences, periods of time or creative fantasies. This year, the collection was inspired by turn-of-the-century opulence and luxury with a modern twist on Victorian style. From hair that is strong and structured with a tailored, androgynous look, to a loose, undone, fairytale feeling expressed through curl and finally, pure editorial style where fashion, fantasy and creativity collide, the London Calling Collection depicts the surreal beauty, interesting silhouettes and magnificent style of the Victorian Age.

For the first time, we have taken this inspiration and transformed it into a dramatic, storybook concept...

London Calling presents a fantastic adaptation of The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland, entitled...Wonderland.

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE
Inspired by the shape and tailoring of Victorian clothing, London Calling Wonderland's first series of cuts masters the structure, strength and silhouettes of this era. Pleats, folds and darts are taken from turn of the century seamstresses and transitioned into modern cutting techniques that give form and shape. The hair hugs the head and then
loosens to visually create movement and flow. Blocks of color are also used in these looks to enhance and reinforce the pleating. The illusion of depth is mimicked in shadows that pull the cuts together and create two inspiring looks that are nothing short of spectacular.

A MAD TEA PARTY
Surreal beauty, sexy subtlety and underlying femininity mark the epitome of these next looks. Here, it is what lies under the Victorian garment that matters. Lace, silk and billowing fabrics inspire the loose, undone look of soft curls. Here, the curls are created through the implementation of two techniques: perm wrap and thermal styling using Brit Style products. Varying sizes of tools in each application are what give the hair it's random appearance of texture. Also, in each look theends of the hair are left out of the curling process to further enhance the illusion of feminine ribboning.

THE QUEEN’S CROQUET GROUND
Victorian lifestyle was quite ostentatious. Fabrics in chintz, silk and brocade with ornate floral patterns decorated every Victorian home. It is the essence of over-the-top opulence that influenced the design for the final series of looks. Strong and impactful, yet clean and simplified, these severe updo's set the stage for beautiful hair accessories that marry fashion, fantasy and surreal beauty. Flowers creatively made from hair adorn looks fit for a modern day queen. Striking colors. Interesting silhouettes. Magnificent style.

I'm not sure if this been mention before, but Marc By MJ did use little red riding hood as a "theme" on at least one longsleeve. Seeing it on the runway, i felt it was a little too childish IMO, but seeing on ebay i actually liked it. Unfortantely, someon bid upon me the last 10 seconds.

Since some months, it's picked up by the mainstream. In almost every Dutch shop-window, there are (black) butterflies and related things (often combined with black/grey, baroque wallpapers or other black/grey baroque elements). A combination of fairy-tales and gothic influences.

Somewhere in the Dutch city 'Eindhoven', I saw two almost identic fairytale chic shop-windows side by side, with almost the same black/grey baroque wallpaper on the background. Like it's just one shop instead of two... And no, marketingwise, these shops don't have a connection. They are real concurrents.

Perfect December glamour, and I like it. But if a trend has become só mainstream like this, I have the feeling the trend is coming to an end.

^perhaps in a small sector it might be. but honestly,I don't see that many designers or other companies really embracing it in that "big way" to call it a real trend. In the sense of a marketing scheme,I mean. unlike the whole Victorian/goth thing from the last seasons....it was everywhere! This is not. It's still pretty obscure compared with other trends going on at the moment.

and fairy-tales will always be mainstream anyway. it's just the way one interprets it all that makes it fresh and interesting.

i wouldn't mind looking like a fairytale all the time. just the air of a fairy tale anyways. all wispy and samll footed, curious, confused, beautiful and ultimately successful in your endevors. well, the happy endings are rather modern, but i guess that doesn't matter for fashion.

I have a screen cap of a short film of LRRH-Christina Ricci plays the red hood and Quentin Crisp narrated. Had for some time now.....and I saw it on the list on that fairie-ality site.

I'm going to see if I can find the film on youtube as I actually haven't seen the actual film yet.

*can't remember the link as I uploaded it on tinypic for my Livejournal
