Models and Photography: FASHICON CEO – MISS SL ♛ 2018, Sienna Bellios and FASHICON COO – MISS SL ♛ Austria 2018, Jeanie Waydelich
The FASHICON competition consists of monthly styling challenges, which are free for everyone to join who feel confortable to present their styling ideas on our runway. The top 3 scored of each month’s challenge are eligible to compete in the FASHICON 2020 Grand Finale on August 8th, 2020, to become FASHICON of the year.
THE APRIL CHALLENGE
For this challenge we ask you to create an outfit inspired by a specific animal. The outfit should incorporate the grace, elegance and beauty of the animal you have chosen. You are not meant to become the animal by wearing claws and wings, but the idea is to find the part of the animal that speaks to you and use fashion to express this part of the animal, in an haute coture inspired style. You are not limited to any specific colors at all.
-
-
- Please choose an animal to be inspired by, any animal really, but the fancy the better.
- Please style an outfit to express the animal of your choice fashion-wise.
- Doing so, you may pay attention, not to give the impression, that you killed the animal to wear it. The idea is, to combine fashion and accessories to achieve a look, that will resemble your animal or parts of it.
- To choose natural fabrics is probably a good idea for your styling, but please be aware that wearing fur and animal skins like i.e. snake leather, can cause controversial opinions.
- The idea of this challenge is not to buy a costume you would use for an ordinary club contest for fun. You are not meant to look like an elephant that makes trials of a galant walk on the runway, but to express the beauty of the animal of your choice with particular hints, i.e. the hairpiece that resembles a birds head or a mix and match of clothes that form a certain line, resembling an animals extraordinary shape.
