the wonderful grove...
...or "Dumbrava minunata" in Romanian. This would be the title of my latest illustrated collection. I participated again this year at the Inspired contest here in my country and I got the same place as last year. The challenge was to create a collection inspired by childhood and the first thing that came into my mind was film slides (ro. diafilme); I remember the days, when we were kids, we watched them all the time because we didn't have too many tv programmes, since it was just a bit over the communist era. I was so little I couldn't even read the subtitles and my sister had to read them to me. You get some ideas of what I'm talking about here: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 (Turtita or The Caky was my favourite).
And so, each outfit was inspired by a film slide and has an animal hat inspired by a character from that certain tale. The clothes are over-sized, following A-lines and V-shapes, nothing too fitted, nothing too complicated, comfortable, soft fabrics, elastic and easy closing systems, exactly how I think children's clothes should be.
Hope you like it.

@ Miss Vera Ni: I saw they are a big hit this season, but I remember them from a couple of years back when I say little kids with cute fluffy hats with ears so I just of making them more playful, more childish. I'm very glad you like mine.
ReplyDelete@ Beango: Thanks! I've been following your blog for a while now and I saw your post, even Andi told me about it, I just didn't have time to comment but I'll write about it in my next post. Thank you so much, it's an honour.
