From now on I’m going to try this blogging thing and I think a good way to start is by introducing myself and my website. I’m a Belgian college girl (not a native English speaker, so I hope my language errors don’t repel  you) that once had the idea to start her own fashion website. My idea was to make some fashion illustrations to illustrate the latest trends. 

But when I was reading  books on how to make fashion illustrations, I found out that they would tell you that you should make the models on these fashion illustrations taller and skinnier than any human woman could ever be. And that kind of shocked me, because even though I knew that models are off course much taller and skinnier than any normal woman, it shocked me to find out that starting designers where instructed not to think of women when they design their clothes, but of a non-existing fantasy woman. 

And then I decided that the models on my fashion website would be smaller and cuter than real women, a pink way to rebel. And that's the story behind the birth of the fashion puppets.
