Make a fashion mash-up and win this book!
Remember that toy from the 80's, Fashion Plates, which you could mix and match various tops, dresses, bottoms and accessories to come up with your own virtual outfit? I'll always see that as the gift that got away.
When I was a kid, it was the one thing I coveted but alas, Santa never saw fit to toss one under the tree for me.
Now, once-budding fashion designers and current fans of playing dress-up can indulge in a little stylish fun, while getting schooled on the current state of Canadian fashion, thanks to designer and illustrator Danielle Meder.
With 17 paper dolls inspired by 15 designers who showed their Spring 2010 collections in Toronto during October 2009, Danielle's Paper Dolls book is a spectacular showcase of her signature sketching style and a refreshing look at fashion through the eyes of an artist rather than a camera lens.
If you're keen to win the book, why not try your hand at Danielle's design challenge? Just create your own outfit mash-up with a model from one designer and clothing and accessories from at least two other designers.
More of a tactile person? Print off the mini PDF version of the book, pull out your scissors and get to cutting!
