Three designers

Vivienne Westwood- FW 1993-94 - "Anglomania". Mixes tartan, furs, kilts, puffy silhouettes that could be perfect for Versailles and very high heels.

Vivienne Westwood is my favourite fashion designers. I think a lot of her work was unique and ahead of the times. It was hard to chose one collection, but the Anglomania collection is one her most iconic. I how she took tartan and did something different with it, like the tartan wedding dress.

Matti Suuronen (14 June 1933 – 16 April 2013) . Finnish architect and designer who is best known for designing the Futuro and Venturo homes in the Casa Finlandia series.

The 60s of futurism has always been a favourite period of architecture and interior design for me. When researching it i came across Suuronen's spaceship- like homes, which i think are really cool and could be interesting to include in my world of delight.

The lava lamp is a decorative lamp, invented in 1963 by British entrepreneur Edward Craven Walker. Lava lamps are based on a simple scientific principle—that certain liquids, like oil and water, don’t mix.

I've always wanted a lava lamp, particularly a vintage one. I think they are a bizarre design but really interesting to look at.

The Futuro was a prefabricated house built between the late 1960's and 1970's. Fewer than a hundred were made.

Research: Aliens/Robots/UFOs

Alien Moodboard

Design:

Capoeira: The Capoeira are an alien duo from Bust a Groove who came to Earth to collect old metal signboards. Unlike the other dancers in the games, the Capoeira work together in their dances as they are named after an Afro-Brazilian martial art and game that heavily uses dance and music, with their theme music also being capoeira. The two aliens do have names: Kiki and Lala, like the Sanrio characters.

Novi Stars: Novi Stars were a 2012 fashion doll line made by MGA that had of the concept of alien girls with different gimmicks, such as clear legs filled with various things, from colourful liquids to plastic sweets, and light up features. While not popular in their initial run due to the popularity of Mattel’s Monster High line, Novi Stars are now loved by older doll collectors due to their unique designs and concepts.

Mars: Mars is a character from Lauren Faust’s portfolio project Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls (If the name sounds familiar, it’s because Faust also made My Little Pony Friendship is Magic). In Milky Way, the planets are personalised into teenage girls who roller skate across the galaxy, with a variety of styles and personalities for the team. In Mars’ case, she is the kookiest member of the Galaxy Girls as she’s an alien with a heavy passion for the arts who likes standing out.

Robot Moodboard

Design:

Mimi + O’Chunks: Mimi and O’Chunks are characters in Super Paper Mario who works alongside Count Bleck and his team to “Recreate the world in their vision” (I say in quotes because it’s a lie. And these two are the only ones who don’t know that until the climax.). These two are grouped together because they’re both robots; O’Chunks is a military robot while Mimi is a dysfunctional Pixl (Pixls are small robotic creatures who are created by Ancients and can embody the souls of people close to death so they can continue living). These two are extreme opposites, with Mimi being a self-serving and sassy fashionista who coordinates everything and can mimic other's appearances and O’Chunks being a short-circuited brute who’ll attack anyone the moment he finds out they’re a threat to Bleck’s plan (He’s also Scottish. This is import to mention.).

Wall.E + Eve: Speaking of opposites, Wall.E and Eve from the movie Wall.E are both great robots. While Wall.E is stuck on a destroyed Earth and was made to clean up trash, Eve was made to keep the last sapling to revive the Earth and is sent to Earth. The movie mostly focuses on their relationship and the life that humans currently live, and despite their lack of dialogue, their actions speak so clear. Also the contrast in their designs, especially in terms of shape usage, is really good.

Chibi-Robo: Chibi-Robo is the name of the character and 2005 Gamecube game. In the game, you play as a tiny robot named Chibi-robo and are tasked to help clean the house of your new owners, the Sanderson family, to gain happiness points and be the very best robot while also helping out sentient toys. Chibi-Robo's design, while extremely basic, is cute and sleek, with the plug on his back giving him a more unique appearance as well as being an important mechanic.

Spaceships Moodboard

Design:

UFO Houses: UFO houses, known officially as Futuro Pods, are small scale and round house with a colourful and alien-like exterior. Designed initially by Finnish Architect Matti Suuronen in the 1960’s, these houses were meant to be the future but were protested against due to their over the top look and due to having zoning issues. These houses are now treated as tourist attractions, and are well known for inspiring an abandoned war officer retreat in Taiwan called the Sanzhi UFO Houses.

Halberd: The Battleship Halberd is a large and dark spaceship that appears throughout the Kirby Franchise. The ship is operated and owned by Meta Knight, a renowned warrior within Dreamland, who uses it to trap Kirby in Meta Knight’s Revenge to get rid of Dreamland’s peaceful vibe and as a status symbol. The Halberd stands out so much even compared to other slightly more dark things in the franchise, but that's what makes it super unique.

Lot Starcutter: The Lor Starcutter is a spaceship (Literally) that appears in Kirby’s Return to Dreamland and is operated by the game’s twist antagonist, Magolor. The ship might not belong to Magolor however, as it might instead have belonged to some other Ancient within Halcandra, the world where Magolor is from and the possible birthplace of most Ancients.
