DKNY departure?


Recently, there has been a lot of speculation that DKNY is leaving Stardoll for good. This is quite a confusing issue.
At the moment, the DKNY store in the Starplaza, has a sale. Now, to me that is quite unusual as DKNY usually just goes. It is normally just closed for renovation. Yet this time, there is no renovation. Its almost like a closing down sale.
The items are extremely cheap [all 10sd and under]. Most of them have more than 5O% of the original price. So, what is going on?

My thoughts are that Stardoll has decided to part with the brand. Although the brand makes them money and is fairly popular, it isnt selling as well as it used to. In the days of Scuba and broken hearts, DKNY was at its best. But it seems in its decline. The pieces are more expensive, the designs are not worth the asking price and the wow - factor has slowly fizzled out.
I only consider buying it because it is DKNY.
Maybe Stardoll arn't axing it . . .maybe they have an amazing new collection on the way! But the chances of that are getting smaller everyday as more signs begin to show the departure of such a loved brand.
Is this the end for DKNY or just the beginning of a new collection?

Your thoughts?

For Bright Idea Comp






Here are my example segments to show you what each post might look like. Also there is a brief description of what the segment would be about. Some of them are ideas for a contest so I have posted a picture of what an entry might look like.


Here is my first idea, on how to make SS & Non - SS outfits that are similar to LE, DKNY and Miss Sixty - But a slice of the price.



DKNY look






Striped Tee - 3sd [stardoll]
Ankle Boots - 4sd [rio]
Checked clutch purse - 4sd [bisou]
High waisted skirt - 5sd [fudge]
Total - 16sd
Saving of - 56sd!





Miss Sixty look

Leopard print dress - 5sd [stardoll]
High waist belt - 1sd [stardoll]
Handbag - 5sd [rio]
T Bar shoes - 5sd [bisou]
Total - 16sd
Saving of - 44sd!!





My next idea was to create a celebrity inspired outfit which must include the specific item pictured. They can use other items but MUST use the item you have set.The item MUST be Non - ss and available in the starplaza! For example, Im going to pick a pair of simple black leggings [available at evil panda].
You can choose whatever item you want though.
I have styled my outfit, inspired by Alexandra Burke.




My next idea was similar but slightly different. You choose one item and everyone has to make an outfit using that item with their outfit.
I chose to pick the Basics white swimsuit/leotard.
Here is an example outfit.


Another idea is a Designer of the day/designer of the week section. This will show the works of the designer on stardoll and what types of designs they create in star design. This could be followed with an interview or a raffle to win one of their designs . . . .
Heres an example. I am going to write it about todays most popular designer.


Joanne1305

Joanne1305's designs are mainly celebrity based. You can find posters, t-shirts and dresses. From Edward Cullen to Lady GaGa. Every single detail is added onto the design. Obviously, there is more than one person involved in making the designs as they are quite intricate and time consuming.
I, myself have purchased designs and they are affordable and great to wear. Sometimes you even wonder why you need the starplaza. There is something for everyone in this suite. Check it out and snap up your celeb merch - QUICK!


Another of my ideas was a best and worst idea. You put up pictures of your favourite and of course least favourite me - doll and suite of the week. Also, the fashion Passion of the week [best dressed] and fashion clashing of the week [worst dressed] will be awarded to a user. This isnt meant to cause offence and is for pure fun!
Here is an example post.

This weeks best and worst . . . . . MEDOLL!

Worst !

mondfrau

Her style is creative and her fashion creations are inventive. Yet, I think her Medoll is over the top and the hair is a little too extravagant. If she toned down the craziness, she would be one fashionista sista!

Best <3

bratz*g

Her Medoll is beautiful and isnt too over the top. The old DKNY really works with the whole outfit and hats really suit her medoll. It was a good choice to wear the outfit she did. Her make up, her hair colour and her clothes all go well together!



Thats all my ideas at the moment but I will add anymore if I can think of any!
