Fairy-tales

[Tinuviel]

More, of Mombi's dress. I actually wanted this for a wedding gown way back when.

(from my RTO dvd )

The gold print on her cape is similar to a Chloe print inspired by Leon Bakst and the whole thing reminds me a little of Balenciaga patchwork, the Fendi 03 s/s metallic bags and Prada & Miu Miu 05 s/s details for some reason.

Ditto Softie As much as I love all that

Here's more of that more Medievel style,Meg was referring to earlier in the thread. No direct inspiration from fairy-tales but fits in with the fairy-tale aesthetics

These boots from marc by marc jacobs fall 2005 have a eastern-european fairy-tale vibe: the vibrant colors, the gold detailling. It also reminds me of art nouveau.

The purple one kinda goes with Mombi's (from Return to Oz) outfit

In fact, these boots are perfect for a certain heroic cat: Puss in Boots

Oh God, she was the worst! The part when she changes heads still gets me, especially when all the heads turn so watch her come in. What about the costumes in Mad Max? Or the Road Warrior? I think those movies took punk style to a new level, gotta love the Aussies and their right hand drive Holdens.

In post number 45 (http://www.thefashionspot.com/forums/showpost.php?p=907179&postcount=45) I placed images of the ss2002 Louis Vuitton ad campaign. Here are some images of the collection (source: style.com), which, imo, have fairy-tale qualities:

Love that Julie Verhoevan bag Dosviolines! Scott your Emma Cook capelet reminded me of an old Little Red Riding Hood cartoon I have.

Midsummer Night's Dream is about as fairy-taley as it gets. Best costumes ever.

Tinuviel,that's exactly what I was thinking about...only it was black(obviously)and had that signature Emma Cook Medieval sensibility. I love it!
