Come to a tea party!
Our Alice in Wonderland-themed Mad Hatter’s Tea Party features childrenswear by New Zealand brand Carbon Soldier, formerly known as YmamaY. This shoot was inspired by their children’s fashion for Winter 2014, especially the Alice and rabbit printed yellow leggings, and the whimsical rabbit ears and motifs on garments.
What we did to create the Alice in Wonderland-themed Mad Hatter’s Tea Party
– a Children’s table and chairs in the garden with plates of party food. Shrewsbury biscuits work well with the hearts jam centre
– “Drink me” and “Eat me” signs on bottles
– Old tea cups piled up in disarray and stacks of old books
– Teaspoons and teacups hung on brown string from tree branches
– A sign with black permanent marker ‘This way’ and ‘Wrong way” arrows of scrap timber on a wooden stake
– Playing cards scattered around for the Queen of Hearts
