Cutting edge fashion hit the runway this month at the International Academy of Design & Technology's 29th annual Fashion show, "Imagine 2008."
Students were challenged to take inspiration from a choice of five cars and design for a specific category such as Career, Sportswear, Eveningwear and Avant-garde. The competition challenged designers to think outside of the box, using the car's shape, technology, color and interior as the foundation for their inspiration.
Among the winning entries, a sporty, "armor-like" ensemble emulating the rugged exterior of the Hummer HX Concept; a sleek, one-shoulder cocktail dress reflecting the 3-door design of the Saturn Astra; a jacket with a dramatic neckline reminiscent of the distinctive flared fender of the Pontiac G8 GT; a sophisticated suit adapted from the curvaceous lines of the award-winning Chevrolet Malibu; and a glamorous gown combining the classic beauty and powerful edge of the Saab 9-3 Turbo X.

It used to be that the Barbie brand was all alone in being described as those dolls with doe eyes, cutting edge makeup, hip clothing with a passion for fashion. But all this changed with the debut of Bratz dolls from a toy maker in Southern California. What sets the dolls apart are, first of all, their appearance on first impression. The first four of these 10″ dolls had (and still have) large heads and long legs, waif-thin torsos, big Japanese manga-like eyes, and full, glossy lips. Their wardrobes consist of extreme, groovy lounge wear. When changing the shoes of the toys, the whole foot is removed. While their June 2001 debut was lackluster, the Christmas of the same year was an about-face, meteoric rise to fame. Afterwards, there was really no looking back.
The case of the Fashion aspect itself is very well-worth looking at. Clothes do not make the woman, it is always the around way around, so to speak. Yet women certainly could use some help of what’s the consensus on what is no-nonsense fashion and dressing up. A girl’s world also has this ability to feel and sense for fashion, but it is more technological than a matter of physical tailoring. When the real world talks about couture, young girls and teens can now relate using a relative term- the Bratz makeover games.
The Bratz games are an offshoot and a somewhat significant effect of the boom in fame of the Bratz. As we have seen, at the core of the Bratz concept is a team of four average teenage buddies whose passion for fashion runs through and lives everything that they do. This team consists of fabulous ladies who seek to be the answer of a younger generation to the acknowledged queen of the doll fashion universe, none other than Barbie, as we know. Don’t be mystified by these teenagers; meet Cloe, Yasmin, Sasha and Jade as they come to terms with and face up to their daily fashion predicaments that everybody would have a blast trying out themselves in online Bratz makeover games.
For an example situation, let’s think of an occasional social function which is a routine for the Bratz- say, a cocktail party. Since the Bratz are known celebrities and pioneers when it comes to what’s the latest trend, the style of the evening dresses they will wear ought to be new in the eyes of everyone. Have fun learning a tip or two to eventually match and master their sense of style for every event and occasion. Wouldn’t it be great to be a winner all by yourself for simply matching the shoes with the right bag?
Bratz games online are literal treasure houses that live up to every fashionista’s dream. With a few clicks of the mouse, you can even get a visual of how your Bratz looks according to your own fashion taste and style. Moreover, a well-deserved Bratz makeover games is just the right treat after a job assignment or exam well done.
