Entry #1 by Judi Ward
Bonnie says:
Clever
use of shape to echo the plaid pattern. A bit racy! The things kids
will wear to school. A bit of "Sailor Moon" meets "Lolita"! The lovely
hairdo just adds icing on the cake. ;o)
Tami says:
Beautiful attention to detail.
The matching bloomers with lace and thigh high stockings would certainly
delight any visiting alien exchange student or any of the early 21st
century pop princesses. How will she ever go back to those long, drab
robes?
She is an alien, attending school in the States as
an Exchange Student in the year 2090. Her home planet attire is a long,
drab robe, so she is dancing with joy to be able to wear the cool duds
she has seen on Earth TV. |

Entry #2 by Carolyn Harris
Bonnie says:
Everything old is new again...with funky boots! I would like to have
seen the concept taken even further, though, more exaggerated. Colors
remind me of my old uniform! Cringe...lol.
Tami says:
Good use of contrasting prints (the
plaid and the mini floral print leggings) and a whimsical touch with the
marabou-like trim. Lovely shaped corset. Nice touch to place the plaid
on the bias for a subtle contrast with the pleated skirt. This appears
to be the transition between current day and futuristic school uniforms.
It's still preferred by most space colonies in a bid to connect to Earth
culture.
as fashion recycles & tradition prevails ... i went
for tradition with a few modern touches

Entry #3 by Wendy Whittemore
Bonnie says:
Fashion
forward robots...of course! I bet that "antenna hat" can get Galaxy
Radio. Lovely blouse. I think I would like to have seen this one taken
further as well. A little too traditional...sans hat, of course!
Tami
says: Nice colorful plaid choice with a nod towards Japanese "sera-fuku"
school girls. Amazing hat! Oh pardon me, Tiffany just informed me that
it's the latest high tech wi-fi mind-meld mobile communicator device,
version 2.0.
Tiffany is walking with her
robot, and communicating with him via their antennae. She doesn't need
to carry school books, because her robot, Z4V4, has all of them stored
in his memory. and in a flash, Tiffany can call up any book (or anything
else) she needs. |

Entry #4
Our winner - by Ellen Vorster
Bonnie
says: Extremely "out of the box" choice of materials. Reminds me of
Susanna Oroyan's dolls of dryer lint! Feminine, fun , and scholastic.
Very original and creative. Love the jaunty cap!
Tami says:
Brilliant use of former Brillo pads! Great echo of the rolled cuffs
throughout the garment - hems, hat, shoulders and even shoes. The
overall look is very sophisticated and a very believable futuristic
version of the traditional plaid school girl outfit. Very well designed
and executed.
Rumour has it that pot scourers are
going to be HUGE in 2078. Due to the incredible advances in technology
pots and pans will be a thing of the past. The scourers however will be
still around but they will make a great comeback and become the new
shiny "black". |

That's it, folks!
