DIY The Look


Rosie from DIY Couture recreates the desert-chic style of comic book character Tank Girl:

What's not to love about Tank Girl. Once described as "Mad Max designed by Vivienne Westwood; Action Man designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier" she's a rude, kind hearted anarchist with a mutant kangaroo for a boyfriend. Her clothing is a little bit riot grrrl, a little bit 80s hair metal. As well as looking cool, her clothing is extremely practical. It's all about hard wearing fabrics and plenty of utility pockets. I love you Tank Girl.




Erica from Recycled Fashion recreates the look of singer Gwen Stefani:

Gwen Stefani oozes rock chic glam that others would find hard to pull off. Platinum rockabilly styled locks paired with smokey eyes and cherry red lips add glamour to a casual day out running errands with her beautiful kids. Skinny distressed jeans, killer heels and blazers are her common go-to pieces, but this is a lady that will wear a pair of converse boots with baggy pants and an old tee and still look amazing




This week, we're recreating the costume of our very own crafty superhero Crafterella to mark our 100th DIY The Look:

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's crafty superhero Crafterella saving the day with her cat-lady style and crafty skills!




Jenna from Lavender and Jelly Beans recreates the look of fashionista and Rookie magazine editor, Tavi Gevinson:

Influenced by teen pop-culture, the works of Comme Des Garçons and 90’s vibes, Tavi Gevinson’s style is distinctive -featuring pattern mixing and bold accessories- while remaining classical. Although her style is not especially colourful, she contrasts colours perfectly, using bright head pieces and carefully balanced layers to create an overall impact. The blogger turned magazine editor won me over with her witty character and unique outfits, but it is that same confidence needed to wear a giant head bow that made her the icon she is today
