And, no slight against the previous ones that I've taken part in, but this one
is really taking things up a notch! Because, when one of the community's most
stylish and respected fashion designers puts a call out for submissions for
her latest fashion line, you know that you're going to need to step up as the
standards will be high.
In case you haven't seen the
challenge that Harlyn posed
over on Twitter, here you go...
So, the challenge was three fold; create some hot beachwear, make sure to give
it a sunset vibe and, last but not least, make sure to include the ADDICTED!
brand into it.
Then, on top of that, I set myself a personal requirement of incorporating the
surfboard theme that Harlyn had used for all of her own photos into the ones
that I would submit. Just to give it a nice consistent feel and tie them in closer with the inspiration that I'm trying to emulate.
I'll be honest though; I've never been on a surfboard in
my life. So, a little cheat on my behalf then. Instead of lying seductively on
a surfboard that is gently floating in some shallow waters, I very much kept
my feet on dry land by trying to do my best seductive lean against a pair of surfboards that I found planted in the sand of Snowbunny Beach.
As for the design that I created for my submission - I chose to go with
something that brings the scorching heat of summer with intense reds but, at the same time,
hints at the impeding darkness that starts to encroach as dusk sets in. In other words, keeping it very much in the ballpark of my signature brand colours to give it that unmistakable TWK feel.
What do you think? Did I manage to pull off the brief?
Head over to Harlyn's Twitter to check out what other creators are submitting to her challenge. In fact, why not join in and submit something yourself! Go on, do it!
Or, if you are feeling especially bold - why not set your own challenge for the rest of us to take on. You know I'll always be game to give it a crack!
