urban mermaid collection // lalaliu fall 2012

Posted on April 5, 2012 by lala

title: urban mermaid (ariel hits the streets)

medium: uni-ball SIGNO 0.28 black pen (my favorite!), gold gel pen, tombow markers

inspiration: I love the little mermaid (I think it’s because she’s a hoarder) and I have always been fascinated with street style and urban culture.

looks (from left to right):

knit sleeveless top with peplum, fish scale inspired leggings with knee cut-out, sheer chiffon bell bottom pants.
knit sleeveless dress with organza tiers & hood
tail coat vest with fabric gradient, leggies
dress with asymmetrical hem and strappy sleeves
sheer chiffon jumpsuit, skinny fish scale print pants
bulk knit sweater with mermaid upper body design, fish scale print leggings
asymmetrical dress with hood, blazer print tights
