DOLLS FASHION NIGHT OUT
Dolls Fashion Night Out (DFNO) has been quite successful in past years, so we will revisit this event again for 2013. To refresh your memories, DFNO may have specific themes to choose from, but it is also a time to show off anything you have new - this includes clothing, diorama items, accessories; the sky is the limit!! So, I am hopeful we will have LOTS of people participating and having fun with this one -- and that you who are not doing the themed items will put them up on your website to be seen when the blog comes out November 15. The deadline for this one will be November 8 CST midnight FIRM. Here is your theme info!
How our dolls, male or female, look does impact the way we feel. It may be that we dress them to a theme that evokes a mood, that we choose to put something on them that incites a certain confidence, or that we – for no definable reason at all – simply fall in love with a particular piece of clothing or accessory and dress them that way.
For this event we are going to look at the three themes fashion forecasters are seeing as being predominant in the Fall/Winter 2013 collections. Those themes are Adventure, Creativity, and Nostalgia; and their qualties are listed below. You may pick from any one theme to be your influence. Just make sure we can all tell which theme you picked when we look at your design.

Adventure: Travel inspires a high-winter trend that combines a sense of adventure with a renewed fascination for the great outdoors. This lifestyle trend combines modern functionality with traditional fashion styles. Colors include slate grey, tawny brown and midnight blue. Knits, florals in earthy colors, and graphic prints will be seen.
Creativity: This is reinterpreted using expressive freedom within the urban environment. Expect an approach into artistic ventures that seems to comment on social change with a refective and humorous slant. Colors: An unusual combinations of artistic pop colors of vivid violet-blue and fluorescent yellow. Painterly prints and patterns, haphazard brushstrokes and luminous tones abound.
Nostalgia: Modern generations mix nostalgia with different folk-inspired heritages and their contemporary futures resulting in a blend of quirky folk style packaging with a fascination for eclectic blends. Colors: Bright accents against muted tones. Bright gold and intense turquoise. You'll sure to see bright, folk-inspired florals with a tough edge.
