theFashionSpot's project runway game

Hope I'm not too late to enter this. Please excuse the quality/dimensions of my pics as I had to resize them to fit.
I've lived in York since I was 21, so have got to know it pretty well. It has a long & varied history and has been the capital of Northern England uner the Romans, Anglo-Saxons & Vikings. It was an important commercial centre in the Middle Ages, later visited by Tudor & stuart monarchs, and in Georgian times was the social capital of the north. With the coming of the railway in the 19th century, it was again, an important industrial and commercial centre. The future now is more uncertain. A lot of the industry the city relied on has closed down or been transferred overseas. These include Redferns Glassworks, the railway carriage works, Terrys chocolate factory, Donnellys Printers and Armstrongs. Even Rowntree-Nestle is getting run down and transferred overseas. There is a lot of unemoloyment and a lot of boarded up shops in the city centre due to the building of out-of-town shopping centres at Clifton Moor & Monks Cross. Hopefully, things will pick up again.

Hello! It's the first time I write here! This morning I've been reading this thread and I've found it great! I would like to join the game, that's why I have done my design, I hope you like it.

As we were told to choose the city we live in as an inspiration, I have chosen Barcelona, the city where I come from. With my design I would like to highligh the importance of ''modernisme'' architecture in Barcelona.

''Catalan modernisme architecture (often known as Art Nouveau in the rest of Europe), developed between 1885 and 1950 and left an important legacy in Barcelona. A great number of these buildings are World Heritage Sites. Especially remarkable is the work of architect Antoni Gaudí, which can be seen throughout the city. His best known work is the immense but still unfinished church of the Sagrada Família, which has been under construction since 1882, and is still financed by private donations.'' (From Wikipedia).

[muguetdemai]

[perfect10]

since we got three entries, and the last one was posted one week ago, shall we do the juding and go on with the game???

 

[thwick]

I'm okay with that if everyone else is, especially as a few people said they probably wouldn't make this round?

 

[thwick]

So, what are we going to do? As Perfect10 and I got no response, I'll leave it till later today and if no one objects, I'll judge this round and we can start a new one (perhaps a less time consuming one?).

 

[thwick]

Oops, I completely forgot that I said I'd judge yesterday though I suppose it gave you lot a little bit longer to object... as no one did, here goes:

It was a tough choice, but it had to be made.

and the winner is....


































muguetdemai!! Congratulations!

It was a very close contest and all of the entries were wonderful I'll write up reviews later on, as I'm at work at the moment and really should be doing that.

 

[muguetdemai]

Wow! Thank you very much thwick, this is so unexpected!

Well, I think I'm supposed to choose an inspiration for the next round so my choice is ''the four elements'' (fire, earth, water, air) but let's add a fifth, wich has to be eter.

Now you can begin to post your entries. The round will be finished in two weeks from today if you agree! I'm looking forward to see your nice entries!

 

[colourmefashion]

did you want anything specific ?
btw, what's eter ?

 

[perfect10]

sounds fun! But can it be anything.... I mean, witch kind of outfit? and for who? Or is it completely free, out choice I mean?

and I wonder too, whats eter? I only think about the swedish word eter wich means ether but I guess eter also could be atmosphere, can it?

 

[aaron95]

nice nice niec theme! btw whats eter?? hahaha

 

[muguetdemai]

.

Ohh! sorry! I forgot to tell you all that

Well You have to design somethig inspired on one of the four elements or eter, for a female model.

And here the meaning of eter from wikipedia (sorry for not explain it before

Fifth element
Plato's Timaeus posits the existence of a fifth element (corresponding to the fifth remaining Platonic solid, the dodecahedron) called quintessence, of which the cosmos and all celestial bodies are made.
Aristotle included aether in the system of the classical elements of Ionic philosophy as the "fifth element" (the quintessence), on the principle that the four terrestrial elements were subject to change and moved naturally in straight lines while no change had been observed in the celestial regions and the heavenly bodies moved in circles. In Aristotle's system aether had no qualities (was neither hot, cold, wet, or dry), was incapable of change (with the exception of change of place), and by its nature moved in circles.[3] Medieval scholastic philosophers granted aether changes of density, in which the bodies of the planets were considered to be denser than the medium which filled the rest of the universe.[4] Robert Fludd stated that the aether was of the character that it was "subtler than light". Fludd cites the 3rd century view of Plotinus, concerning the aether as penetrative and non-material.[5]

Imagine it like you want
