SAVE ANNA!


As promised, here is one of my DiYs! Since i totally lack of leisure time to spend sewing and cutting i had to be content with a self customised top. I'd come across that image of Anna Wintour in one of my peregrinations on the web, i don't even know how, and i thought it was just genial. The slogan "Save Anna", just in case you didn't know, refers to the fact that rumors say that she may be replaced with her french counterpart..yeah exactly like in The Devil Wears Prada ( The film, since the book is quite different ). I loved the idea of this sort of campaign with her face painted everywhere and ding.. the DiY bell rang in my head and that was when the calvary began. I found the t-shirt immediately, actually, to be sincere, i'd bought it for another DiY, and i would have done that, if it weren't that i couldn't find a black textile pen anywhere..so as i searched everywhere i went, i came across this and as i said it was instant love, absolute priority. I eventually found the pen -where else?- at my own crappy little town and spent a whole afternoon drawing with maniacal precision. I wanted this to be perfect, and i managed god-knows-how to make this seem a real print. I don't know if i could do it again, really.. Anyway now i'm wearing this all the time because it really makes me proud, and i love it. [Though probably nobody notices since Anna is not that known in here]. [ feeling a bit like Emily when Andy asks who's Miranda ].

  2. hello tania! thanks so much for the comment... well I am actually going to a community college to get an A.A in fashion merchandising...it wasn't my firts choice how ever. I actually attended FIDM in LA for a year but i realized it was wayyyy to much money for what I was getting.. dont get me wrong the school is amazing i loved it, but i was also just going to get an A.A... if i could afford it with no problem I would probably still be there :) However recently I was looking into FIT in new york. (fashion institute of thechnology) I think that If I could I would go there and study!!! good luck, I wish you the best!!

  4. Oh well ariana here's a tip for you! You can print the original photograph in the size you want to draw on your tee and cut out the dark parts. In this way you'll have some sort of stencil and all you have to do is place it in the right point and fill in the empty spaces with your black pen! :D

  9. mmh let me so no no particular type of textile pen just any! i suggest you create the stencil yourself by cutting out the dark bits of the photo which is Black and White so in the end you only have to fill in the spaces :D !!
    Thank you sosososo much ;)
