The Polyvore craze

For my Fashion Merchandising class at school I took last year, we had an assignment to create five collage boards of anything from shirts to bags and accessories. But when I say collage, I don't mean your average home art project of pouring through old issues of seventeen with scissors and a glue stick.


Polyvore takes collaging (is that even a word?) to a whole new and digitized level. It's all your pictures and graphics, paired with endless fonts and text, and even comes with music. Making a collage on Polyvore is just the same as the old-fashion way without the sticky mess. You can choose from thousands of garments from brands as common as American Eagle or as high-end as Alexander McQueen.



here are two of the collages I made for my Fashion Merchandising project


If you are liking what you are seeing, go to polyvore.com (click the title of this post) and start creating. Trust me, you'll stay on for hours (I did!). There is so much to look at, and its fun to see all the interesting/eccentric/adorable/flat-out weird things that people consider fashion. You'll be addicted.
