Imaginary Fashions

When life weighs too heavily on your shoulders; or too serious, overwhelming (feel free to add any appropriate adjective here to suit yourself), its time to crack out the magazines, glue sticks and scissors. Magazine collage was one of my earliest media from childhood. So, in honor of Fashion Week, here are a few imaginary fashions for those unusual circumstances.


"City Map Dress"

This is a New York City rapid transit map. How handy would this be as a travel garment? Of course you would need to get some kind native to read the back of the dress to tell you where to get off the train.





"Dig This"

I know many of you are wondering just what to pack for the spring archaeological dig season.This is the perfect combination of style and practicality.




" A Little Bit of Everything"

I'm imagining a time in the future when, having scanned all her clothing into a special program, the woman who says she hasn't' a thing to wear, can wear a little bit of everything in her closet.

Vivien, you dazzle me with your web talents! I'm having problems enough figuring out the soft ware on my plate!!!

You should play more often, Lindsay these are lovely. I always love your collage and we don't see enough of it.

Gif animation! - if Vivien's giving lessons, may I join in ;)

OK...I'll have the "Spring Dig" outfit for my tropical fall and the shocking pink dungarees (cos my old ones no longer fit!)

So light-hearted and fun. Thanks for the smile - I needed that!

They do beg for animation. At first glance you see them not walking but dancing down the runway!
But, I'm with you, and need a helping hand with all the wonderful technology available today.

Thanks both of you! And I forgot...so northern-hemispher-centric of me!

Do you really have shocking pink overalls? I want a pair!!
