stardoll decided to finally join the party and with party i mean the fact that sportswear has found it's way into our everyday life for quite a while now and as of today you and your doll can shop at active - starplazas first sportswear joint. YES, i scream! WHY, you scream! why, i tell you why.
two comments from the underneath stardoll spoiler post for the now released active store. i was suprised seeing those reactions (there where more comments like these i just picked those two as an example). for quite some time sportswear has become part of everyday fashion and even high fashion. so i thought its a good thing for stardoll to pick up on this trend. especially on a virtual platform like stardoll you can do whatever you want with these clothes. i for one will not start creating workout looks with these clothes i will use them like i use sportswear in my fashionlife outside of stardoll which means i will just wear them and style them with "normal" items.
so be happy about this and don't feel preasured into excersing or anything like that. i'm pretty sure the stardoll staff had no deep message in mind when creating this store.
these are perfect examples why i love the way modern fashion lables (like hood by air or alexander wang) are merching high fashion with functional sportswear. yeah i know these are not the things you will find on stardoll wether they have a sportswear store or not but at least you can start to recreate similar looks with the things your doll already has in her wardrobe and the things that you can buy at the active store plus who knows what kind of clothes this store will offer us in the future.
Active: Blue and Black Sweater (11 $), Track Suit Jacket (17 $) and Everyday Sneaker (9 $)
last but not least what did i do with the things i got from this new store. above you see two looks who are inspired by sportswear fashion while still focusing on an everyday look which doesn't suggest that my doll is on her way to the gym or any other sports activity. light and casual, these are the things one should consider when creating a look inspired by sportswear.
so i just shockingly realised that my last post is 6 months old an that is just not accaptable at all! and it is even more shocking because the last post was a "coming soon" post. so i just wanted to update you guys, if there are any of you left …
i will still post the basic bitch article but as i quickly realisde it's to big of a thing for just on post so i will just devide the whole thing. the next month will still be pretty busy for me so i can't promise anything. right now i'm just not able to follow all the developments on stardoll. i'm still not giving up on this blog though. i still enjoy spending time on stardoll but i'm not as active in the community as i used to be. however every now and than i want to talk about stardoll releated stuff and this blog is my plattform to do so and thats why even if i haven't posted in 6 months i'm still interested in uploading posts. i just never really know when i will have the time.
that being sad i hope you enjoy the beginning of tribute season on stardoll. i have to admit i like what stardoll did there. the items look amazingly detailed! so if i where you i wouldn't miss out on it ;)
not really a get the look post but an update on the most essential pieces in my medolls closet. the post may will be split into more then one part. i just have to see how much work i have to put into it. so stay tuned. this blog still isn't dead ;) .
so i thoguht i make a quick post to wish you all a merry christmas. i hope you enjoy the holiday season and charge your batteries for the new year 2016. i sure do. lost of good food and quality family time are the best way of leaving the stress from the last 12 months behind.
so after many months we got a new antidote store, ok not a real store with floors and all that shazam but a pop up window store. better than nothing. just like with all the limited releases on stardoll people totally freaked out about the small moschino inspired collection. it's amazing how stardoll managed to get people excieted about antidote again and all that it took was to leave as much time as possible between the release of each antidote collection. a method they had used before. we had waiting times of over a year between some antidote collections.
i used to be more of an antidote fangirl and not that much into LE. but comparing this new antidote collection with the last LE americana collection i think both stores were equally strong. but lets talk about the source of inspiration for this antidote collection: moschino.
antidote and jeremy scott have somewhat of a history as some of the older antidote collections were inspired by his work. now that jeremy scott is creative director of moschino it's only natural for stardoll to recreate his designs for the italian fashion brand aswell. i for one am surprised stardoll hasn't copied any of the moschino barbie collection yet. i mean this seams to be a no-brainer for me … you could sell tons of pink shirts and glitter dresses stardoll! this time antidote were based on moschinos fall winter 2015 ready to wear collection in which jeremy scott paid his respect to chanels famous 1991 hip hop inspired collection.
SIDENOTE: i saw a comment on USD where someone said jeremy scott would copy other designers by putting symbols that looked like the chanel logo onto his clothes. it's not copying it's a reference to an era which is being glorified by young people all over the world. young people who couldn't even walk or weren't even born when this very iconic chanel collection was released. 90s nostalgia is a huge thing for the fashion industry and jeremy scott showed his version of this phenomenon by reinterpreting or referencing this famous chanel collection. i mean before you say something bad about an artist like jeremy scott get your facts straight girl! (sorry needed to let that out of my system)
the collection was good. the quality was decent and the pieces they decided to recreate captured the essence of jeremy scotts collection. the only thing i wasn't pleased with was the size of the collection. after such a long time since the last antidote release (which i sadly missed) i would have been more happy with a "real" antidote store and not just a pop up store in a starplaza window.
of course i bought some things from this collection but i tried to just choose things i could really use and as this collection was small from the beginning i didn't spend that much.
i was lucky do get my virtual hands on that black fur coat it sold out amazingly quick. these days i mostly buy minimlasitc items for my medolls mainly normcore inspired looks but antidote always gives me the opportunity to buy some eccentric eye catcher items like those quirky smiley face shades. i also got my medoll some of that 90s chanel inspired pieces by buying the blue antidote bags. i was so glad they used this kind of electric blue and not a horrible pink.
the last two weeks on stardoll where incredibly dull and i was kind of happy for this limited release. however i just hope stardoll will come up with something bigger for the next antidote collection but until than we have to wait but hopefully not for another 7 months.
