Danielle Meder's paper doll illustration of Pink Tartan's Spring 2010 collection.

During (and after) October’s Spring 2010 LG Fashion Week, readers of fashion illustrator Danielle Meder’s blog, Final Fashion, were treated to paper doll renderings of Pink Tartan, Philip Sparks, Vawk and 12 other Canadian collections. In each set selection of looks sat tabbed and ready to be cut out and put onto paper dolls styled in the show’s hair and makeup–and all the appropriate underpinnings. Now Meder, a Ryerson fashion grad whose illustrations have appeared in NOW Magazine, the Globe & Mail and the National Post, has compiled her series into a book (US$43, blurb.com). (If you want to cut out the clothes and play dress up, Meder will send you a PDF for $18.) We had a quick email chat with Meder to find out what inspired the paper dolls, her favourite illustrators and why she focuses on the local.

Christopher Kane has angered Fake Karl

Comments

Blogger Fake Karl cut up Christopher Kane for comments he made about his “fear of bloggers.” Kane said, “No one who wants to read a serious review of a show is going to look at what a 14-year-old thinks. But it has become more critical; people can say what they want about anyone on a blog without consequences and that’s quite scary.” Fake Karl’s rebuttal? “Mr. Kane is right to be afraid. Honest, critical opinions are a threat to his credibility as a designer- and so they should be. Nevermind whether they come from a 14 year old or a 140 year old (such as I). Perhaps he’ll start designing clothes rather than gimmicks, hm?” [Fake Karl, Vogue UK]
