During (and after) October’s Spring 2010 LG Fashion Week, readers of fashion illustrator Danielle Meder’s blog, Final Fashion, were treated to paper doll renderings of Pink Tartan, Philip Sparks, Vawk and 12 other Canadian collections. In each set selection of looks sat tabbed and ready to be cut out and put onto paper dolls styled in the show’s hair and makeup–and all the appropriate underpinnings. Now Meder, a Ryerson fashion grad whose illustrations have appeared in NOW Magazine, the Globe & Mail and the National Post, has compiled her series into a book (US$43, blurb.com). (If you want to cut out the clothes and play dress up, Meder will send you a PDF for $18.) We had a quick email chat with Meder to find out what inspired the paper dolls, her favourite illustrators and why she focuses on the local.
