RARE Jacket and RARE Inspired by Demeulemeester

In these days I'm really productive in writing articles, so today I want to post another RARE story!

In this post you'll find information about two differentr RARE, like the one posted yesterday.
The two RAREs I'll introduce you haven't got the same name label but have to be presented together because part of the same catwalk outfit.

RARE Jacket 

Basic but chic, classic and versatile, RARE Jacket is perfect for every occasion. Black&White are the only color used. White is the main color of this long sleeves jacket, black is used for collar, sleeve lapels and buttons. I'm particularly in love with the collar that is not entirely black but B&W patterns are alternate and have different thickness.

RARE Inspired by Demeulemeester

This RARE is a really eccentric top. The upper part reminds oriental clothes, in particular Mandarin collar traditional Chinese dresses, for its collar and slevees. The upperside is irregular and asymmetrical, with the right part longer than the left. The main color is white. Black is used for board and sewing and for buttons.

I reaaly like the originality used to create this top.

RARE Jacket and RARE Inspired by Demeulemeester were released from the shop Fallen Angel and their current currency is Starcoins.

You can find RARE Jacket and RARE Inspired by Demeulemeester in the Dress Up Doll Amy Lee 3

(Amy Lee3).

The real inspiration is an outfit from the Demeulemeester Fall/Winter 2007/2008 collection. 

RARE dragon dress

Not everyone loves old graphic clothes. They are unrealistic, sometimes don't fit good on dolls, have sharp shapes, not great color changing, bad shadows and are too much basic.

Fortunately Stardoll has released also RAREs with new graphic, more realistic and fashionable.
Today we'll talk about RARE dragon dress.

You can find it in the Dress Up doll Katarina Witt, figure skater and two times Olympic Gold medalist for Germany  ( http://www.stardoll.com/en/dolls/746/Katarina_Witt.html?dsearch ).

This RARE is not very wanted. If you see it in a superficial way it doesn't seem to have noteworthy pecularity, nothing able to make you exlaim "WOW! I WANT IT IN MY CLOSET!"















But I invite you to watch it in depth, more closely.

What do you think now? There is more interesting cues than before?
Watch the large, high belt on the waist, the two vertical sewings and the draped skirt. Focus your attention on the fantastic black drawing. Personally, I think is really well done. The "Dragon" that gives the name to this RARE is actually a beautiful female demon, with a long-limbed naked body, a pair of horns and a big bat wing. I suggest you to open the photo and you'll appreciate more this fantastic work Stardoll done.

Stardoll released this RARE for the first time  in the shop RIO. Why have I wrote for the first time? Because Stardoll inexplicably decided to release it again on February 2012 in the shop Archive, something like the actual Callie's Picks. Maybe this is one of the reasons RARE dragon dress is less wanted than other RAREs.
In Archive was released for a little price: only 7 Stardollars. This is maybe another reason this RARE is considered as a second category RARE. Almost everyone, Superstar and not, had bought it and his value poured down in a short time.

What about the real dress? Stardoll took inspiration from the Balmain Fall Winter 2007/08 Fashion Show.
In general the Stardoll version is similar to the real one: same lenght (a mini dress), same three-quarter sleeves, same high belt and round collar. But what about our highlight, the dragon? Stardoll dragon is drawing, the real dragon is a sequin silver dragon, not extraordinary, in my opinion.






But I've not done for today
I've found an other interesting photo about Balmain dragon dress, from another angulation.







You can see the famous and loved Italian journalist Anna Dello Russo, creative consultant and editor-at-large for VOGUE Japan worn the dress during a party. The dress has a beautiful open back and a zip.
Tell the truth to yourself, you have dreamt to know how Stardoll clothes fit back at least once in your life, haven't you?













So we have done for today, I hope to have contributed to revalue this RARE because is really interesting, the only fault is attributable to Stardoll and their questionable choices.

See you!

TWIGGY SECTION: 1st Episode, RARE Inspired by See by Chloé (Jacket)

Welcome guys, second article is here for you!
I'm very excited because today I want to introduce you the masterpiece of this blog restyling: the TWIGGY SECTION.

I consider myself one of the greatest fan and Twiggy addicted in Stardoll. I am the proud owner of all the fantastic clothes released in Starplaza you can find in the Twiggy Dress Up ( http://www.stardoll.com/en/dolls/723/Twiggy.html?dsearch ).
Maybe not everyone knows also that the Dress Up doll Twiggy is the greates source of RAREs. Five clothes in Twiggy's dress up are RAREs. So I've decided to talk about them inside of this particular section, which will be proposed again in other articles I'll post soon in the future weeks.

I would like to start from one of my favourite RARE of all time: RARE Inspired by See by Chloé (Jacket).

It is a cream elegant jacket, with three-quarter slaves, three golden buttons on the top and a nice neck.
It's an old graphic RARE, maybe dated 2007; it is interesting the way they tried to draw realistic shadows (I remember you that in old graphic clothes usually you don't see such a great work on shadows, always too dark or even absent).
It is a really versatile piece and I personally like the fact is open and not buttoned up, in that way you can see there is something under the jacket and the outfit would be fuller.
RARE Inspired by See by Chloé is today marked as a Pretty n' Love item, but as the oldest users know, the original name of this shop was Pretty n' Pink. The current value is Starcoins, for this reason is really hard to find it in Starbazaar and is very wanted.

What about the real jacket?
This time Stardoll has semplified my work because the name suggest you can find the real life inspiration jacket in one of the past See by Chloé Fashion Shows.
In particular they probably have fallen in love for the Fall/Winter 2007/2008 collection. I'm pretty sure they lose their mind for this collection because a lot of clothes in the Twiggy Dress Up (RARE and not) are from it.
Here I show a comparison between how it fit on a doll and in real life.
I think they have done a great work on it, the two coats are really similar.
As you can see the French fashion house suggest to use a two-colored shirt with a round collar so retrò, shorts, thighs and ballerinas. As I said before, I think you could make a lot of different combination, this jacket is really versatile and you can use it to create different kind of styles.

Hope you will enjoy this new Twiggy Section in the future weeks, and tell me if you would like to know more also about not RAREs Twiggy clothes.
See you!
