Fashion Designing Through Bratz Games
Published November 26, 2011 | 
How talented are you? Do you know how to sketch a person’s face with ease or does it appear nowhere near his face but looks like an extinct creature from the Jurassic period? some people have all the creativity and talent in the world-creating something out of nothing. We can see that in the masters like Michelangelo who painted the ceiling of the Sistine chapel and sculpted the famous of the young David. We can see that in Beethoven who despite being totally deaf still managed to compose a musical masterpiece or in the Russian writer Leo Tolstoy who wrote a tome of the French-Russian War story that is still considered one of the best novels in existence.
Talent takes many forms. It is our innate genius that separates us from the other people. It is what distinguishes the ordinary from greatness. It is what makes a Michael Jordan, a Muhammad Ali, an Albert Einstein, a Pablo Picasso or a Leonardo Da Vinci. In the fashion world, these are the Yves saint Laurent, the Coco Chanel, the Giorgio Armani. These people revolutionize fashion and dictated to the world how people should look and what to wear. They build billions of dollars in global empires that personify a certain lifestyle and people all over swallow it up hook line and sinker.
However, the problem lies in discovering the innate talent within every person. It is like the proverbial finding the needle in a haystack. A child may be a genius, but if he is not properly molded it would prove to be of no consequence. What could have been his mark in history will be just like a ripple in an ocean storm. But once you discover a talent within a person it is like finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
I was fortunate to discover a budding talent with my daughter. At a young age, she likes drawing stuff like houses and persons and balloons-at least a semblance could be inferred from her doodling. As she grew older, she likes drawing little clothes for her little dolls. It is impressive for you can already see a certain harmony in her creations: the clothes actually match the entire outfit! This is when I discovered that she has a talent for fashion design. All it takes is a little nudge towards the right direction.
Knowing this, I introduced her to Bratz games. Bratz games have a compilation of games and one of these is Fashion Designer. My daughter enjoys playing Bratz games and she even introduced Bratz games to her friends, even holding a mini contest to see who can make the most beautiful Bratz using the clothes in Bratz Fashion designer. They always call me to judge these mini contests and I must admit that I had a hard time choosing the winner. I just usually make them all winners in designing. Thanks to Bratz games will be able to find her full potential.

Leave a commentFashion Preview 2011: Spring Dresses
Published November 26, 2011 |
The Spring 2011 collections mark a significant collection for designers because it doesn’t just mark the beginning of a new year, but also that of a new decade. Expect to see bolder designs and a little more extravagance than years past as the economy shows signs of slow recovery. The seventies and sixties-inspired fashion still reigns on the runways, with Mad Men-inspired dresses and Studio 64-esque glitzy metallics still showing on the runways. Maxi dresses remain a trend and some designers are sending sheer maxis down the runways for a fresh twist on a current modern fashion staple.
We can’t talk about dresses without mentioning the work of Diane von Furstenberg, creator of the iconic wrap dress. Furstenberg’s spring collection features larger-than-life prints and bright colors like violet, lemon, and turquoise. Her dresses shied away from the maxi dress length and generally fell to mid-calf. Embracing the current return of seventies glam, Furstenberg’s shimmery gold dress was beautiful and exquisitely draped. To mimic Furstenberg’s spring Grecian-inspired collection, go with a draped dress in a bold color and pair it with simple styling and strapped sandles.
As usual, Betsey Johnson’s collection was one of the most whimsical collections to hit the catwalk this spring. Betsey’s theme this season was “cyclists,” but don’t let that fool you into thinking she sent nothing but bike shorts down the runway. The season was beautifully retro-inspired, with tons of flouncy 50′s and 60′s skirts that would narrow any waistline. The collection also held some classy mermaid dresses that looked straight out of a film noir movie. While most of the Betsey Johnson collection held more colors than a neon rainbow, the collection also held some sheer all-black pieces, including a sexy showstopping lace dress that revealed the model’s black lingerie; it was bold and a little risque, but beautiful all the same. If you’re unafraid to show a little skin this spring, look for sheer black lace dresses in order to mimic this head-turning fashion trend. For a sweeter look, search for a Navy-inspired dress like the ones Betsey Johnson showed this spring; the sexy and short sailor dresses looked straight out of a 40′s pin-up calendar.
Marc Jacobs bypassed the whimsy of the 50′s and 60′s and went straight for the glitz and glamor of the 70′s. His collection featured long flared pants, halters, frizzy long hair, and oversized hats. Jacobs’ color palette was an eclectic mix of plums, mustards, mauves, and oranges. Like many other designers this season, Jacobs also sent several gold metallic pieces down the runway. To mimic Jacobs’ celebrated collection, look for 70′s inspired halter dresses with plenty of flow and mix them up with carefully selected over-the-top accessories. Think large hats and sparkling pendants. Plunging necklines are another great way to show off fashion’s newfound 70′s aesthetic. For a showstopping spring 2011 look, hunt for gold metallic dresses and pair it with some 70′s-inspired dramatic eye makeup.
