Getting into Wonderland

Post by Anna • March 01, 2010 • Post a comment

There’s been a lot of buzz about the upcoming Disney film by the ever-quirky Tim Burton, Alice In Wonderland. This one’s got Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter and it’s in 3-D, so you know it ain’t gonna be no Disneyland ride.

There have been all sorts of promos for the film, from makeup palettes to accessory lines. The latest collaboration is with veteran fashion designer Sue Wong, who has launched Sue Wong for Walt Disney Signature, a high-end dress line inspired by the Lewis Carroll tale. It’ll be available as a special limited edition collection for spring 2010.

The Alice In Wonderland-inspired collection will showcase unique details inspired by the film and its iconic characters, including the Red Queen, the White Queen and even Alice herself. With luxe details like Victorian antique lace and elaborate beading, the dress collection is signature Sue Wong.

“I have long been mesmerized by the fantastical tales of Alice and her surrealistic adventures in Wonderland and am thrilled to be collaborating with Disney on this project,” says Wong. “This classic story, along with Tim Burton’s inspired interpretation, lends itself especially well to my design aesthetic, which is whimsical and fun, while adding yet another element of creativity and expression to my artistic process.”

Alice in Wonderland will be out in theaters on March 5, 2010.

Doll Face: Jason Wu for Madame Alexander

I just bought the Asian Barbie (#005) from the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s Barbie Basics line for my 7-year-old niece last Christmas.
