Hey my beautiful people! I'm back and better than ever! Introducing Danii Lynn. Yes it's named after yours truely... how obnoxious. lol. I wanted to name her Danii Lynn because I was in love with this dress when I drew her into paper. So when I'm in love with a certain dress as in I eat, sleep, and dream that certain dress then you know I'm obsessed.....This is also introducing my new collection Poisoned. I named it poisoned because the name just smacked me in the face. I wanted something werid and different, and twisted. The concept of being poisoned is to murder. I know it's a dark idea but I'm murdering my old life. I'm changing it and a piece of me is already gone. I also wanted something wicked I thought of the story of snow white and she was poisoned by the wicked witch. It was so evil and I thought hey what a great different idea to fashion, let's do something that's different, something that's bad! I'm obsessed with the blacks, the plums, and the reds. Don't get it wrong a lot of these dresses are sweet as apple pie. But trust me all the wicked, poisoned dresses are coming up next week, if I'm lucky I'll introduce to you Ernie, and it's damn sexy. I'm just trying to do something different and out there with my designs. Sooo without further ado here is Danii Lynn.
This mommas baby! Danii Lynn and she was inspired by nature, and oddly enough branches on a fall afternoon. I started with a sweet, yet seductive sweet heart neckline. You know my weakness already. I gave Danii Lynn some decorative beading at the top of the dress for some sparkle and shine. I thought it would make the dress pop out more. I did the same at the waist line to compliment any woman's waistline. I created a cool funky pattern at the bodice because I was inspired by the whole demask print, because I adore the print, it's like the next zebra print for me. I wanted a pop of red for her because it's such a bold color. That's what I really wanted for this collection, I wanted something bold to stand out above the rest... Think of a disney villan they're never subtle or non flashy. I know everyone wants to be a disney princess but lets face it we end up becoming the villians instead we can't help but become whats second nature to us... lol. I added curly waves coming out from the top of the skirt because I thought of droopy branches it was almost haunting. Danii Lynn haunted my every dreams in a sense that I couldn't get her out of my brain. I'm in love with roses so I added some to the skirt with the "branches" underneth. In a way I could of been thinking about beauty and the beast on this one, or just roses in general, however, it's classic and iconic hence it goes. Lastly I added what I always add for extra glam... rinestones for the entire dress. I know I colored her yellow but I feel like I would of made her gold if I were to recreate Danii Lynn. I'm not to crazy for yellow. Yes
yellow is fun and bright but I gag... I just don't do yellow. Don't ask why nobody quite knows the reason. This dress is Me guys. It's charming in it's very own way, different, unique, and a little bit classically romantic. I feel like this dress represents me in a way that I went to my sktech book to quiet down my own thoughts. I struggle with myself sometimes that I go to my designs for sanity. I believe that we shouldn't destory ourselves but rather what is eating us on the inside. As someome who has severe anxiety I cope with myself in a way where I put it all into my art. I find strength within myself when I'm doing something creative with my life. I find it so hard to quiet all the noise that goes on inside my head, but I'll end up picking up a pencil and drawing. One time I even woke up at 5am to draw a dress because I was anxious over something random and I started thinking of a dress in my head, I even woke up at 3am the next day to draw a dress I dreamed about. They always say it's better to work on something creative at night because your mind is at most creative at night time.,..explains why I'm such a night owl. So this dress is me, being strong and dealing with all the insantiy that goes on in my life.
The Dali Lama says, "When we meet real tragedy in life, we can react in two ways- either by losing hope and falling into self-destructive habits, or by using the challenge to find our inner strength." So my fellow readers, when faced with a diffcult obstale or tragedy you can face it one or two ways let it destroy you or let it change you for the better. This year has been a real eye opener for me and I thought I was going to lose everything that gave my life purpose, but even when I fell down I always pickeed myself up and said...Nope I'm good and kept on moving. Nothing is the end of the world whatever you go through you can always pick yourself up and keep improving the situation. Also never stop fighting. The day you stop fighting is the day you have truely given up. Please don't give up on yourself.
XOXO Danii Lynn
