idea #1 fairytales...

When we think of fairytales we atomaticaly think of disney, with their

happy endings, love storys, princesses and princes. But before disney was founded

the fairytales that we know (cinderella, snow white) are not the original stories. Disney

adapted these storys for children. Origianlly fairytales we dark and twisted stories and

not often actually had happy endings for example the ending of the original snow white 'Not knowing that this new queen was indeed her stepdaughter, she arrives at the wedding, and her heart fills with the deepest of dread when she realizes the truth. As a punishment for her attempted murders, a pair of glowing iron shoes are brought forth with tongs and placed before the Queen. She is then forced to step into the iron shoes and to dance until she drops dead' this version would no

of been allowed for childrens eye so the ending had to be adapted to a 'happy ending'



Snow white has now been adapted into a movie - which is a completely different story

with a few aspects that are the same (snow white and the huntsman) this is

aimed at people 12+ because of its dark content. Also, a tv program Once upon at time, which

not only adapts snow white but also other stories such as Cinederella, Sleeping Beauty -

which in this show falls in love with Rumplestiltskin.

because the original stories are not films or programs its hard to determin what the
would of been wearing, i would say dark colours because or the dark storyline. The Disney version of
snow white have a very different costumes the colours are bright and the dresses are fit for a princess,
where as the latest rendition of snow white we see dark coloured outfits and not as many dresses -
this is more like the original snow white story would have in it. if i was to base a whole collection on fairytales
i think i would be quite restricted to what i could do the styles seem to be more or less the same for example,
cinderella, beauty and the beast, snow white and sleeping beauty all wear ball gowns so the
style of dress i couldn't do much with. i think the colours i am also restricted with there either bright colours
or dark colours. aslo i could mix both the the past and present fairytale films because it wouldn't look
good  as a collection because they dont link in very well.
