Remake/Remodel IRMA VEP
Sunday, November 30, 2008 at 5:02PM
This was damn good fun. Warren Ellis has brought back his own character redesign meme. Now hosted on the Whitechapel Message board, this weeks challenge was to Remake 1920's film serial femme fatale icon, Irma Vep.
So I decided that to stray from the original is to lose the original's iconic look. So I elaborated on the catsuit's silhouette. The body stocking is a stretch knit styled after a commando sweater with the epulat shoulder pads. The Leggings are of course vinyl and the utility garter belt hopefully adds a touch of french sexuality while serving function. She has a clear plastic faceplate which provides a heads up display for her decrypting super computer.
