Fashion Inspired by Fantasy Books, Movies, etc

Floozie Kenya, here.

If your not familiar with Katrina over at Kindred Dreamheart then get familiar!

Not only is she a great fantasy and sci-fi blogger that recommends good books, she's a freaking fashion designer and uses books, movies, and anything else as her inspiration!



I'm impressed. So, as usual, I contacted her and asked her to send me some of her designs and tell me the thing that inspired it.

Here we go!



Model: Kristin Denise
Hair & MUA: Kayla Fenwick
Photographer: Connie/Killion Photography
Fashion Designer: Katrina/Kindred Dreamheart




Katrina's Inspiration: I call this the Neteru suit. I was inspired by the Vampire Huntress series by LA Banks. 

I thought, "What would Danali wear?" 







Model: Jennifer Pearse
MUA: Naomi Whitted
Photographer: Eric Hiltner
Fashion Designer: Katrina/Kindred Dreamheart






Katrina's Inspiration:  I was inspired by Tim Burton's various movies with the very awesome wardrobe designer, Colleen Atwood.  

I made this for my 2011 Summer fashion show in Cordova, TN. This was my final piece to my whimsical collection entitled, Timeless Evolution.

Photographer: Ken Marks
Hair & MUA: Katherine Gray

Katrina's Inspiration:  I was inspired by vintage Hollywood!  I designed this for the formal attire part of my Timeless Evolution collection.







Model: Paula Jo
Hair & MUA: Erica Wilson MakeUp Studios
Photographer: Tomeka A.
Fashion Designer: Katrina/ Kindred Dreamheart













Katrina's Inspiration: All those pretty porcelain dolls my mom bought "for me"
as a kid, but NEVER allowed me to play with.  

Twenty years later, all my old toys (I.E. the dolls) currently reside at her house; and I
still can't play with them. lol!

Photographer: Arekah Dunlap (Arekah the Goddess Photography)
Fashion Designer: Katrina/ Kindred Dreamheart










Katrina's Inspiration: I created this during one of my more silly moods, using the draping technique without taking notes.  
Allowing my hands to simply move and create with a mind of their own.  I wouldn't be able
to recreate this one even if I tried.  

Like so many of my pieces, this
is truly a "Kindred Dreamheart original."



Thanks again Katrina!!! I hope to see more fashions from you on here!

  1. WOW! Great creativity and talent. I love the black & white checker piece and that last one too.
    They just scream bold, confident feminine and whimsical.
