Fashion Inspirations

[supergoober]

As I was finding my way as a fashion designer at the tender age of 13 in the mid-80's, I often drew my inspiration from television, or even real life. In other words, I flat-out stole ideas

I *loved* Buck Rogers.

A few years ago I bought the series on DVD and I wasn't disappointed.

SO MUCH SPANDEX!!!!

Ahhhh.... of course you weren't thinking about that at age 13, not exactly anyway.
I always wanted to get into a scrape with the mean half-naked Barbie-shaped Princess Ardala.

Terrific work.

When you run out of these to post you need to start drawing new ones with your daughter! :)

My sister bought me the Buck Rogers box set for Christmas a few years back, and I agree, it does not disappoint.

I have no doubt that we will see a collection from my daughter at some point, as she is already showing herself to be quite the inventive tastemaker with her fashion choices.

I have to say, it's so nice to see a fellow designer! Alas, none of my creations exist today! And actually, I think most of mine were costumes for characters in books that I planned to write. I never actually wrote them, mind you, but I would come up with names, backgrounds, maps of their land, and of course what they would wear!

Love you!!!

I completely relate to this, as my planned sequel to the Star Wars trilogy, in which I would of course star as the daughter of Han Solo and Princess Leia (this was way before the books, and way before fan fiction was a thing on the internet), never really got past the costume design phase.
