NY Fashion Week! Our Super Tiny Version of our top 4 Runway Looks

if you love beautiful fashion, art, and the deliciousness of anything super tiny, cute and small, this post will bring a smile to your face. I promise! 🙂

This week we’re skipping jewelry (sort of, but not completely) to share with you 4 Art Pieces instead. Each art piece is displayed in a gorgeous glass and brass display box that you’ll see further below.

What is this about? Each Art piece is a tiny handmade polymer clay replica of a NY Fashion Week Runway outfit that was revealed to the world just two weeks ago during Fashion Week in NYC.

I started by choosing 4 of my favorite runway looks from 4 different designers that were part of their Spring 2016 Ready-To-Wear Collections. I tried to cover designers that I’ve been a fan of for a while. I’ll share with you briefly some of the reasons I enjoy them so much, further below.

Everything you’ll see below (besides the tiny outfits, shoes and accessories) were also handmade by me (such as the tiny hangers, hooks, shoe display stand, necklace display chest, earrings/cuffs display stands, etc). Only the gorgeous glass & brass display boxes and the small acrylic stands are not made in-house, but are important final touches that make each art piece truly beautiful to look at.

Let’s get started!

Chosen Outfit #1: By Carolina Herrera 

Elegance is a whole combination of things. Not only what you’re wearing but how you behave. It’s attitude, it’s movement. It doesn’t have anything to do with beauty or wealth.

– Carolina

What is not to love about this outfit?! had actually a very hard time picking just one of the entire collection. If you haven’t seen it, I recommend you google it online. It’s spectacular!

Chosen Outfit #2: By Clover Canyon

Shapes convey the modern ease. Clover Canyon invites women to join them on a journey of the imagination: Where do you want to go?

-Clover Canyon

This Los Angeles-based design house has been releasing some incredible collections over the last few years. I don’t always resonate with the designs themselves, but I always ADORE the colors, patterns and textures that have become such a strong feature of their brand. This outfit is no exception of course.

Chosen Outfit #3: Victoria Beckham 

I love fashion and that is how I express myself.

-Victoria Beckham

You know, when Mrs. Beckham came on the scene as a designer, I was honestly predisposed to assume that she was just playing the unfair advantage she had as a wealthy celebrity. But she has proven me wrong. Every single season. And she’s only getting better too.

Chosen Outfit #4: J. Crew 

A colorful outfit makes a grey day beautiful. – Jenna Lyons

J.Crew is the one brand of this group that I can claim to know first hand very well. They’re approachable in terms of pricing (especially when you compare them with any of the bigger brands!), and I just looove their look, the colors, the mismatch, the textures and patterns that have created a very distinguishable style. This particular look is just lovely. Happy bold spring colors. Fun and flirty blouse. A skirt with movement and the most gorgeous heels ever.

That’s it!

As you can imagine once I had all the tiny little accessories ready, I couldn’t help myself but spend a few hours playing like a little girl. Just for the fun of it we created a “tiny accessories show room and table” and had a whole photo-shoot around it. Isn’t it cute?! (I did the same thing with the whole outfits put together in a real-life tiny boutique display setup, but if I share those photos too, this blog post will never end).

If you’re a fashion designer, writer, editor or someone who simply loooves fashion, then these Art Pieces are (I think!) the perfect accent piece for your desk or home. I hope they will not only bring a smile to their future owners and beautify their places, but will also inspire their creative energy every time they look at them. All 4 art display boxes will be in our online boutique very soon!

Without a question, this project has been the MOST fun creatively speaking that I’ve had in my entire experience as an Artist with VeruDesigns. No question.

It’s so interesting how the inspiration came to me. As a little girl I used to save-up all my money to buy fancy papers, glues, ribbons and fabrics to create miniature replicas of my dream homes for my dolls. Eventually I began creating perfect replicas of boutiques, doctors offices, travel agencies, with all the furniture, decor and accessories made by hand. You would think that because I was a kid (8 to 12 years old) these tiny replicas were clearly childish looking. They were not.

I don’t remember having that much fun again until these last two weeks. And believe me, I LOVE making my normal size jewelry! But this is even more special for me.

I hope it resonates with you, or that at the very least you got to enjoy the this post for one reason or another.

What do you think? Do you have a favorite? I’d love to read your comments below 🙂

Stay well, stay happy, stay healthy, stay as the lovable, kind, positive and one-of-a-kind person that you are.

I’ll be in touch in 2 weeks!
