The Trashy Princess - Miu Miu SS 2012

"Mother, I will NOT wash my hair! I will NOT wear that dress!" objected young Anastasia with a stomp of her foot. She had been refusing to be a "proper young lady," as she was brought up to be. Anastasia saw that there was no point in being a Princess if she didn't have full contact with the differences between poor & wealthy and clean & filthy. So she started to rebel - slowly but surely - against her mother's wishes to be respectable by dressing a little sloppily, cutting her gowns in half, and not fixing her tresses here and there.

Laying eye-level to the dirt ground was the only means by which Anastasia learned what she really enjoyed was at the top of the tree - macaroons, silk ribbons, and afternoon tea.

my inspiration: The Prince & the Pauper's switch in societal status, and Alice in Wonderland's defiance against the rules set around her.

The sun’s light is creating flowery shadows on the spring green grass through the new leaves dancing amongst the trees. My laced parasol fits just right beneath their sweet branches. I am searching through these cool patches for a bouquet of daisies to water in my icy-white porcelain vase. There are pastel-coloured blossoms already kissing the breezy spring air. The bunny rabbits are peeking from beneath the soft earth, the shy frogs are hopping into the reflected skies. Behind the hydrangeas I have found my dearests, my namesake.

Kate Moss, in her late thirties, closes the show!
