FDC – Ivey Deschanel and Eolande Elvehjem
Ivey Deschanel and Eolande Elvehjem
As part of Fashion Designers Challenge, today I’m blogging about Ivey Deschanel and Eolande Elvehjem. And OMG they did so great together!
Previously of receiving our challenges, each one of us, designers, were trying to guess how “out of the box” could be the individual challenge definition we had to create, compared with our “main” or “personal” style. Our expectations on that particular moment were indescribable!
I guess Ivey Deschanel, from Sn@tch, is an excelent example to show you how out of box a talented designer can go when challenged!
Ivey Deschanel was challenged by Sevenstar Amat to: “Design a classical suit with pants and jacket for ladies” – Sevenstar Amat
For all of you, who knows Ivey, you know “classical” is not tradicionaly her “style of choice” 😉 and for those who don’t know her yet (hmmm… maybe only noobs don’t know her yet…. anyway) the name of her brand shows you how non-classic is her store: Sn@tch !!
On her own words: “The FDC event has been a ton of fun and a great experience. I adore doing these kinds of things cause making something so completely out of my element really expands my experience as a designer and gives me incentive and really…permission to try new things.” – Ivey Deschanel

And this is exactly one of the main points of this FDC event! When the designer is talented and creative, just like Ivey, the result of such challenge is amazing!
And it is loved by people with all sort of tastes: by those who loves classic outfits, and also by those who loves Ivey’s style 🙂
The dress Ivey created is absolutely classic! The colors, the skirt style, the skirt length under knees, you name it!
She took care of each litle detail to make sure it looks classic, as the backstich red fashion top, and the back sewing on the socks!
But! If you look close… you will recognize Sn@tch style also printed on this classic dress! Don’t you? Just like this skin been shown on the back insinuating a daring spirit inside a classic suit!
And here we go: another look of the same outfit, now wearing only the fashion top and the pants.
The two temporary stores with all FDC products will be officialy close today… so if you hurry you still can buy Apprentice Dress today over there:
Road to Oz (157, 137, 25) and Snatch Ciky (71, 51, 30)
After that, you will have to visit each designer’s store to buy your outfits! Ivey Deschacel main store is at Snatch City/118/213/30
Now let’s take a look on Eolande’s challenge!
Eolande Elvehjem was challenged by Alexandar Vargas to: “I challenge you to create a piece that is impossible to own in real life, something unique, something surreal that even the art community will look at as art. It must be something that can be worn, it has to be done using prim work. sculpted is ok, just not all sculpted. The piece has to be designed according to this poem.” – Alexandar Vargas
Ivey Deschanel and Eolande Elvehjem
Anguish Poem: “”
It is amazing how Alexandar’s poem deep touched Eolande, so she asked support from her fiance, as her way to deal with the main subject of the poem: anguish of love!
Perfect mood to create this outstanding jewelry!
I love how Eolande interpreted that! A dark red stone, just like the heart, been supported and embraced by the silver, creating hope to deal with the anguish of love.
This jewelry is really unique! It is a piece of art!
You can buy Anguish jewelry at Eolande Elvehjem main store is at Ohana Isle (200/58/22)
You can wear Eolande & Ivey on FDC Photo Contest! Check here the rules!
Now I’m looking forward to see what Ivey and Eolande will create on the next editio of the Fashion Designers Challenge event!

FDC – Sevenstar Amat and Felicity Overlord
Fashion Designers Challenge
FDC - Sevenstar Amat and Felicity Overlord
During the fashion show yesterday a bunch of designers were sit together to cheer the outfits presented by the models, and it was a lot of fun! Most of anything else, this event gave me the chance to make good new friends, and strengthen the friendship with old friends!
At the end of the day, this was my main goal when I came up with this Fashion Designers Challenge idea: to create an opportunity to fashion designers work together influencing each other to create. And to be able to make this happen, we need collaboration.
Oh! Of course, once we had all this hard work to make this happen, we can also sell some outfits… lol…
And collaboration is exactly what we can see as the results of this team I’m be bloging about: Sevenstar Amat and Felicity Overlord.
FDC - Sevenstar Amat and Felicity Overlord
Sevenstar Amat as clothes designer was challenged by Indyra Seigoto create: “I’d like to see someone create an ensemble inspired by a peacock :). Can be a pants suit, cocktail dress, gown or even men’s attire. ” – Indyra Seigo
Felicity Overlord as shoes designer was challenged by Nyte Vargasto: “We want some shoes that can bring out the feeling in the following statement… “I live within the Darkness, dance among the shadows waiting and watching those of the light. I feel their emotion, their desires and feed in a frenzy. “” – Nyte Vargas
And as you can see on the photo, their items fit just perfect together!
Now let’s take a close look to each one of them.
I remember the very first thing Sevenstar told me when she was challenged by chance by Indyra: “I already made a peacock dress in the past.” I’m really not sure about how she was feeling when she told me that back in the very first day… what I can say you is: as a RL artist and a talented SL fashion designer, Sevenstar accepted the challenge and came up with an innovative and brilliant “outside box” gown as the result!
FDC - Sevenstar Amat
For sure she reached Indyra’s challenge to create an ensemble inspired by a peacock. And, as you can see on the photos, she made it in a very creative way!
Playing with unexpected elements and colors – if you take a “traditional peacock dress” as reference – her creative mind came up with a ” must have” gown.
I’m absolutely sure she had lot of fun creating this gown stitch by stitchjust as she had back in the past, when she was a little kid: “My origins in making fashion are familly tradition, as my grandma and her mother and grandgranny were great dress makers. I remember myself as a little, sitting in my grandmas sewing salon and watching her working from the child perpective, myself armed with a giant pair of scissors cutting feistly gaps into my grannies fabrics and making dresses for my dolls.” Sevenstar Amat
Oh! Her dress also includes this gorgeous red hair.
(By the way, talking about “outside box”… Sevenstar challenged Ivey Deschanel from Sn@tch to design a classical suit for ladies. 🙂 And, yes!, Ivey – who loves challenges – made it brilliantly also! )
You can check (and buy) FDC Stitch by Stitch Peacocks Love Dress inworld at Road to Oz (157, 137, 25).
How about the shoes of this outfit by Felicity Overlord?
FDC - Felicity Overlord
Felicity is very brave, and very committed with teamwork. She accepted to receive 2 different challenges, so she worked with 2 different clothes designers during the event!
This stiletto Felicity made as team with Sevenstar, is the result of the challenge she received by Nyte Vargas– who, by the way, is also very brave because Nyte also accepted 2 different challenges: one as clothes designer and another as skin designer!
Felicity said she decided to start to create her shoes for this challenge under a chaotic mood. And each piece of her stilettos has a different meaning to reach Nyte’s challenge:
“Silver soles represent shadows. The toe ring represents the current emotion of the wearer…show or hide….be seen or wait until that perfect moment.” – Felicity Overlord
The interesting thing is: Felicity works under collaboration mode for long time… she invited Kimbra McMillan of Beloved Jewelry – who did not take part in the Fashion Designers Challenge – to supply the toe ring to her shoes. (By the way, the toe ring is scripted, and can be shown or hidden by touch.)
The final result is just lovely!! The photo shows the silver version, and the stilettos are also available in Black, in Garnet and in Gold.
You can check (and buy) *FO* Frenzy Stilettos inworld at Road to Oz (157, 137, 25).
