Curiouser and Curiouser

March Hares, Mad Hatters and substances labelled “drink me” can only mean one thing; Wonderland frenzy has begun. With the release of Tim Burton's incredible and rather dark movie ‘Alice in Wonderland’ (which I saw in 3D and absolutely adored), everything Alice is ‘in’ in terms of fashion. This quintessentially Victorian, British story which has enchanted generations of children, now has a grown up twist captivating high end to high street fashion designers around the world.

Swarovski have designed a charming ruthenium-plated ring, inspired by the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland. The great thing about this trend is that Alice in Wonderland is a timeless tale, so you can invest in that special item without feeling too guilty.

Stella McCartney has designed a Wonderland inspired necklace and bracelet scattered with curious charms. These pieces were made with the same chain which was used for the designer’s Falabella bag and will set you back $425 for the necklace and $395 for the bracelet. Image: Style.com


Don’t despair if you aren’t willing to spend several hundreds of pounds on Alice inspired items. The high street has caught on to this trend so getting your Wonderland fix is really a piece of ‘eat me’ cake.

Wonderland fever has spread around the world. In Paris, the French department store, Printemps, has transformed its window display into Wonderland throughout March. An incredible pair of heels, designed by Nicholas Kirkwood, donning red roses, miniature tea pots and chessboard stilettos are proudly displayed in this installation. Unfortunately these beauties are not for sale, they are only for longingly fantasising about!

Belgian designer Walter Van Beirendonck’s new Fall 2010 collection appears to have been inspired by Alice in Wonderland. These massively oversized top hats which dominate this collection make the Mad Hatter look positively sane.

Alice in Wonderland had a huge impact on my childhood, and I will happily embrace this trend as an adult.
