Dolls Kill project

If you’re into current and quirky fashion, chances are you’ve heard of Dolls Kill.

The thing that appeals to me the most about the brand is the fact that they have dolls/muses that represent the styles they cater for. I decide on the items I put into production for my own label in a very similar way!

dollskillLinks to the dolls and their current ranges can be found here.

I was approached about selling some of my products, that had a Dolls Kill vibe, through the site so I made a board with a selection of Eustratia products for each of them.

Outfits to fit each doll’s style were then selected and I created illustrations to show how they would look together.

I then went on to create the garments!

After a lot of faffing around with couriers and customs the garments finally arrived and were added to the site.

I don’t usually do such “worky” posts but it’s something I’m thinking of introducing so let me know what you guys think. I would have loved to be able to read about other people’s projects while I was at uni. so I hope others will find this useful.
