i was thrilled a few weeks ago when alison from etsy asked me represent Scoutie Girl as a guest curator on their blog, the Storque!

today, you can view my selections – and my off-kilter theme!

Confession: I have a thing for science fiction. Make that a love affair. And, while you won’t find me at conventions, I have thought long and hard about what makes costume design work for the movies and TV shows I love so much.

I think the best sci-fi costume design incorporates elements of historical fashion with futuristic concepts. Renaissance, Victorian, Gothic — you can find elements of each decking our favorite space heroes and their alien counterparts.

For this post, I’ve boiled my favorite past-meets-future fashions down into three elements: fantastic collars, well-placed ruffles, and asymmetry.
