I want to share this sketch, in particular, because I want to explain how my ideation for my theme for the fashion show came to be: For this year's Goodwill Rock the Runway show, my theme is "The Queen's Court " - a fashionable homage to the Queen of Hearts from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland similarly to Disney's "Alice in Wonderland." Before I decided on my theme, I was having designer's block (similar to the effect of writer's [...]
