100 Pieces of Wonderland Couture

From Whimsical Fairytale Corsets to Fantastical Forest Fashion

— April 29, 2012 — Fashion
For those seeking a look that is both whimsical and chic, look no further than these pieces of wonderland couture. The classic Victorian children's novella has been inspiring everything from music to film for over 150 years. The fantastical narrative, setting and characters of the book have had a lot to do with this, no doubt. However, the aesthetic derived from the book's illustrations and Lewis Carroll's descriptions cannot be overlooked either.

Since its publication, Alice and Wonderland has become a familiar, but nonetheless whimsical realm of pop culture. It is not surprising, then, that this look has inspired and will continue to inspire the sort of fashion and photography featured here. The looks range from enticingly curious to flat-out bizarre.
