Once Upon A Fashion Fairytale...

Once Upon a Fashion Fairytale...

“Once upon a time, there was a story. Throughout this story, there was royalty, romance, trials and tribulation, magic and a merry conclusion.” This is what everybody has heard or read. Dashing plot lines entertained minds of many, causing dreams of euphoria, pixie dust. However, there is more to a fairytale than just its sequence of
events.
There’s…the wardrobe.
In the past year, there was a mass release of fairytale/fantasy media.

There were movies such as Mirror Mirror and Snow White and The Huntsman. There were games such as Final Fantasy XIII. And, there were garments. The magic of these creations appeared on runways of the world.

Evil Queen Ravenna is known for her dark costumes with details of death and mortality. The poster costume, a high-collared coat of raven feathers and seared leather, received high approval from critics.
A comparable design appeared on the runway at 2013’s Mercedes Benz
Fashion Week. With striking elements, it’s apparent that this piece alluded power.

Every princess needs a gown. The one to the left, handmade of scrap metal,

pressed aluminum, and cloth, was used in a 2012 Medieval Showcase. To the
right, a Lucian design appeared in his 2013 catwalk collection. With a similar cut,

turtleneck collar and the use charred glass and metal on the skirt, it reflects royalty.

There’s always a hero. On the left is a character from the 2012 edition of
Guilds of War. To the left is Robarte attire from his 2013 collection. They share
a common foundation involving hard shoulder detail, waist embellishment, chest
ruching and short A-line skirts. These warriors are prepared for victory!

A happy ending? Of course! A smashing success for all of these designs and their influences. This was truly Once Upon a Fashion Fairytale.

About Me

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by! I'm Calynn, 20x Award Winning businesswoman, media personality and former pageant queen (Miss United States Universe Tourism 2021, Miss World America Nation 2020). I started this blog when I was barely 15 years old in January 2011 as a supplement to my application to the retail business internship at the downtown Chicago Nordstrom mall! I stayed there for 3 years learning the fundamentals of everything fashion business from sales and marketing to media and modeling. This was a phenomenal foundation to my career as it gave me the rudimentary knowledge and competitive edge that I needed to be successful! From there, I went on to college and obtained my first degree in Business and Humanities (the arts and social sciences). I wrote as a freelance journalist and editor for several large publications and hosted live cable television for two years. I walked countless red carpets being a VIP media guest at major industry events all over the country a

38 Underrepresented World Wide Talents That You Need to Know!

In a world where so many great entrepreneurs and artists can become famous at the act of one viral video online, it's easy to get lost in the misconception that with social media's "power," anybody who is talented is already known. After all, it isn't as difficult to gain exposure and "get big" as it was 20 years ago before the Internet's Massive Media takeover, right? Partially yes, however, social media also makes the market 10x as saturated as it was 20 years ago. Thus, are you really that much further ahead if all of your competition has the means to one-up you, free of cost and inconvenience, just by posting to their online accounts?

That platform is us. When creating thi

This foundational knowledge is key to comprehending the results of my "experiment." I, as a 26 year old woman who is the CEO of a successful small business ( www.caycomcreate.co
