Trailer of the New Movie by Tim Burton

Katzme ♥ the characters throughout time and how they have been portrayed

Here’s a fun trivia for you when you go see Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland movie.

.....Did you know that there actually was a real alice ? ,,,,,

Her name was Alice Pleasance Lidell.

Alice Pleasance Liddell (4 May 1852 – 16 November 1934), known for most of her adult life by her married name, Alice Hargreaves, inspired the children's classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.

Here's a photo of her.

 From The Real Alice in Wonderland gallery over at LIFE:

 It's a Mad hatter's Tea Party with the fashion inspired ranges from Alice in Wonderland.

Everyone is joining this Tea Party from Tom Binns, to Stella McCartney, Paul&Joe, Bergdorf Goodman window display, Sephora, La Durée’s macarons, Nicholas Kirkwood and Printemps Haussmann in Paris.Printemps has collaborated with Chloé, Alexander McQueen, Christopher Kane, Martin Margiela, Manish Arora, Ann Demeulemeester.

Katzme ♥ adores the Window Displays.
Its the mixture of fashion couture with the fantasy wonderland that we adore so much.Each scene is set with such intricate detail.

Featuring exclusive designer’s dresses inspired by the movie the displays are stunning with beautiful fantasy backgrounds.

Looking at these stunning window displays at Printemps they reminded Katzme of a similar  idea...

Katzme ♥ a number of these stunning charms, such as cotton reels and scissors as above picture (ala Johnny Depp’s Mad Hatter), hearts and clubs (representing The Red Queen played by Helena Bonham Carter) and bunny and pocket watch (in the style of The White Rabbit) and we think the collection promises to bring sparkly surprises to our Tea Party!!

"People" tea bag holder from South Korea

The idea seems not to be that fresh.People tea bag holders from South Korea were seen in 2007 when SangSang/Wdaru offered the very same concept at a design festival in Seul.

Here you can see some of the tea bags with ‘people’ tea bag holders in paper for Maum brand. They fit most common cup sizes.

The tea companions are packed in a bus-like package, in swimming pool package. There is even a variant with a broadcasting studio.

Its a great idea so it really doesn't matter who came up with it first.

Christian Louboutin for Marchesa Fall 2010

Katzme ♥ Christian Louboutin and Marchesa   Fall 2010 collection

             The 26 –piece collection is based on a famous woman who tried her luck in California during the gold rush era . Lola Montez, was an internationally known, Irish-born dancer and stage actress who had previously shocked critics and audiences in Europe with her risqué personal behavior and seductive stage performances. She was beautiful, sexy and liberated,...
controversial amid the highly conservative social mores of the Victorian Age.

           One admiring French critic wrote, "The dance of Lola Montez is poetry in motion, sometimes fantastic, often lascivious, always attractive." 
         During her Spider Dance, Lola frequently lifted up the folds of her skirt as if she had just discovered imaginary spiders in her dress.  Under her multi-colored petticoats were flesh-colored tightsShe wore vivid bright red flamenco style dresses.,with ultra short sculpted body dresses embellished with beading,fringing and organza flowers. Lola Montez.was immortalised in the 1955 film, Lola Montes.

                  Designer Georgina Chapman, who is married to the Hollywood mogul, Harvey Weinstein, took inspiration from this exotic woman for the new collection.   

Lola Montès de Max Ophuls

So this rightly follows their major hit  from the Spring 2010 collection and Katzme’s  two fabuloustic  designers joined forces again for their fall  2010.

              Katzme is knocked down by sheer adoration ♥  

  Red Bowed shoes with the perfect little red dress

 with the heel drama signature of Louboutin glam. From Fabuloustic  bowed heels to delicate satin booties.Its a red carpet  Bonaza that one can only see  with the Marchesa Dresses and the Louboutin shoes.

The  collection is full of all the intricate handwork that Marchesa has become famous for.

You can also see  a new “pinwheel pleating” technique, which gives a graceful, swirling volume to the hems of long gowns  that we can see in white, cream, black sweetpea pink, and pearl-grey chiffon, as well as organza and silk-crepe.  

      Katzme ♥ adores this collection !!

How about you ? 

So stay tuned
