I just loove your videos! 💖 Could you consider making a bratz video? Bratz were legends even tho it was controversial in USA since they had little bit sexier style and lot of makeup. Bratz were the second most popular line of dolls right behind barbie. And Bratz truly were fashion idols. I would love a longer video about them and their style. I feel like many people avoid Bratz videos since many people would get offended just because sexier styles are demonized, so I would love to see a deep dive video about them made by someone talented like you.

As a doll fan I would also add that short layered hairstyles are very difficult to achieve with commercial hair doll fibres, hence why they probably have long hair.

Instead of changing the OG characters. They literally could’ve focused on Howleen (clawdeens little sister) and her ghoul friends. Everything is so toned down and cutesy and I feel like having a younger main character would make more sense because they are catering to a younger generation now.

I think people forget that even though they grew up with these shows and movies, the target demographic is STILL kids (obvi not some of them, like Winx), and that shouldn't be forgotten when costume designing :) I also thought it was really great that your designs honestly fit the color palettes and aesthetics that were in the movie, just infinitely better.

I love that you collaborated with an artist to showcase how the clothes would actually look like put together. Amazing video!

the blue skin-tone for G3 Frankie is less a creative choice and more so a result of copyright issues; while Frankenstein the novel is in the public domain, the green skin, neck bolts, and flat forehead look is an innovation of the 1931 film and thus under Universal Studios copyright. the reason why new G1 Frankie dolls (Haunt Couture, Creeproduction, Reel Drama) are still able to use the green skin image of Boris Karloff Frankenstein’s monster is because G1 was developed in partnership with Universal which is why-to my understanding-new productions of that specific era of MH doesn’t interfere or infringe on it. but because Mattel now works with Paramount, Nickelodeon, etc studio/company instead of Universal, G3 of Monster High can’t really use or take inspiration from the images and iconography of the Universal Monsters brand anymore.

This might be the nostalgia brain rot but I'm not a fan of Ghoulias new design. A lot of your points hit home tho. To catch you up on the lore: Ghoulia Yelps was a COMIC nerd, not a gamer (they made a whole different doll with the retro game gimmick). She was the smartest one of the group and was most of the time non-verbal. I always loved her old 50's styling and I'm happy you took inspiration from that, but the finished outfit reads more cottagecore to me?? I think a turtleneck or other kind of sweater would have helped. Anyway PLEAAAAAAASE do more restyling videos there so cooool!

To be fair Ghoulia is like a geek , so her entire style is based on geeky interests of the time , so being a gamer today is not so far off , there is even a few occasions when gaming and Ghoulia are mentioned in Gen 1. However I still like elements of the restyling specially the vest.

Hi! Thank you for sharing, I really liked your re-designs on the characters you mentioned. •I found out that this new Gen 3 version of Lagoona Blue is supposed to be from the country of Honduras, making her Latina. Which I think kind of makes sense since her father (I think it’s her father) is the creature from the black Lagoon which is originally from the Amazon Rainforest. •But I am kind of confused on why Lagoona is the color pink instead of blue. Maybe it’s because in the Amazon Rainforest, there’s the Amazon river dolphin that is the color pink. I am not sure. •Also, as someone who is South American, I am happy with the representation.

I felt like by making her pink they were trying to make some racial undertones to why she was ostracised by her own kind. Sorry if I badly explained by viewpoint

The corsets now are the modern 2010s big belts No one can change my mind! By the way, great vid. I wasn’t sure about the first restyling but with the drawing all came together😊

Draculaura was my absolute favorite when the Gen 1 dolls came out. (I specifically remember her sleepover outfit, and loving it.) Seeing your interpretation of her is wonderful, it looks like the doll (and the style) that I grew up with, without seeming dated.

I mean, Ghoulia was always a Friki in G1 also, she loves superheroes and videogames, so she being a gamer in G3 makes a lots of sense 😅

Apparently a lot of people don't know this but frankie is actually no longer the child of Frankenstein, instead they're now the child of Dr Mary Shelley (which is apparently the actual name of the woman who wrote the og Frankenstein book). Bc of copyright issues they had to change this, since this new gen is working with Nickelodeon, they can't use the rights to Frankenstein bc it's owned by universal. That also explains why Frankie is no longer green and has no neck bolts.

Such a fun video! It would be cool if you could do this for more franchises like Zombies, Descendants, Bratz, the Netflix version of Winx, etc. It's a creative and unique way to talk about fashion and trends without the regular critique videos that are so popular.

Changes I'd make for the redesigns personally, -Clawdeen's been downgraded so much aaaahhhh! but if she must lose her edge, I would put back in her DIY thing. in the original she was mentioned to make some of her own clothes, upcycle her old ones, and just general DIY stuff. I vividly remember reading in the Monster High novels how she even took some of her natural fur that she had shaved off, dyed it and turned it into fabric to use for projects, or painting woodchips. I would've tried to incorporate maybe some custom resin jewelry, fur trim scarves and jackets and maybe a purse very clearly made from something she found at a thrift store. I really liked her creativity in the original, but it sometimes didn't always come through. -Draculaura I'd adjust her makeup. Since she's a vampire and cannot see herself in the mirror properly, perhaps her makeup would be simplified. She'd just stick to a routine that is easier for her to pull off, or maybe sometimes it'd be visibly messy. Or maybe there's just flavoring somewhere that she has someone else do her makeup. -Cleo needs her bandage wraps. Not just for the look, but like, actually needs it. She doesn't properly read as a mummy in the film, and in the original, it's actually the bandage wraps that are even keeping her alive. It's what's preserved her and families bodies for 5,000+ years and if they were to take them off, they'd disintegrate and die. It's an essential rule that she must have her wraps somewhere on her body at all times. -Lagoona's new design gives very strong 2017 mermaid instagram vibes to me, which I don't hate. It's very cute and aesthetic, she's just a whole different girl to me. I don't consider her the same person as g1 Lagoona. Maybe a cousin. adore the Neptuna backpack in your version though -Abbey i'd prolly adjust her body itself more. She doesn't read vividly as a yeti in the original, just as an ice elemental. Let her be taller, let her have muscle, let her have big feet and body hair. -I kinda disagree with your assessment of Ghoulia, tbh. Your design is cute, but I love Epic Gamer Ghoul so much. And in the original, Ghoulia was long established as both the smart girl and the nerdy girl. She was a comic book nerd, and the skateboard her new doll comes with has the og 2011 artwork of her favorite superhero on it. On top of that, Monster High's 2011 comic con exclusive doll was of Ghoulia attending Comic Con dressed in cosplay of her favorite hero and collecting comic con exclusive merch of that hero. She is a nerd and has always been a nerd, she just has video games on top of comics now.

As much as I do think your look for Frankie is really cute, I do want to say that Frankie having long hair and seeming to be generally femme in presentation is honestly pretty great. I'm a feminine presenting nonbinary person myself, and I see a bit of myself in the version of Frankie G3 has given us. In most cases, if you see AFAB nonbinary people in media, they're almost definitely going to be either masculine or androgynous in presentation, which excludes a whole sect of the nonbinary community most of the time. Frankie existing as they do alleviates that issue, and I'm kinda grateful for it ^^ All that being said, Draculaura is my favorite of the restylings done here. She's by far the cutest one to me! (BTW, even though I don't like the look they gave her, Ghoulia being a gamer does make sense because, in conjuction with generally being the brainiac of the school, her G1 self was also into comics and video games and general nerd culture.)

Draculaura is screaming lolita to me too! Very 2010s though as you said. Split color wigs were SOOO popular during that time in lolita fashion. I was a victim to it haha

I use to give a lot of credits to the costumes of productions with short budgets until I entered art school. I attend a small public art school and we all broke but everyone looks fire, you see lot of diversity in fashion because of the creative styling and attention to details. Also, i know they somewhat tried to update the looks of the characters but ended up oversimplifying them in an era where specially younger generations are developing their own personal aesthetics with so much care. I think both the movie and the dolls could have been so much better with the appropriate research, even with the new colorful theme and stuff because now they feel really boring, not only for MH but for the whole doll industry

The monster high team needs to hire you to design a doll line 😍 your outfit restyling for each character is so good. Cleo’s is my absolute fav, with Lagoona following closely behind.

just a note, from a non-binary person: we can look like anyone. I don't wake up every morning and dress in equal parts mens and womens clothing taking care to blend my outfit to perfect androgyny. I tend to dress more like frankie in the show in the sense that some days it comes out fem and some days it doesn't. I've had long hair, I've had short hair.... I think we need to let go of the idea that a non-binary person has to look androgynous. Just my take, love the vid :)

This is true, but her point was that Frankie specifically would dress androgynously bc she is literally patched together from many people. She’s combining different fem and masc styles like she was stitched together from other people

About Frankie being blue. Generation 1 and 2 of Monster high were in collaboration with Universal. That’s why the main characters were of classic universal monsters. When Nickelodeon got their hands on Monster High, they lost the collaboration with Universal and couldn’t use some of the original characters’ attributes. One of them being a green Frankenstein with bolts coming out of they’re neck. That’s why Frankie’s blue.

It pushes gender queer people further into boxes that we have always been trying to escape from. Just because G3 Frankie identifies as nonbinary doesn't mean that they need to be wearing "androgynous" clothing. I'm sure it wasn't intentional but it kinda bothered me as a trans person. :/

@@fleawalker9986 totally! gender identity and gender presentation are so different, if you put a cis woman in a suit and cut her hair she would probably still want to be called she. I was a little disappointed with this video - simultaneously acknowledging that gender and presentation are different while forcing frankie to display androgyny to match their gender 🙄

zombies 3 had the best werewolf design. I wished they had hay style more incorporated for this movie.

Great how you didn't just complain about the costuming, but gave positive feedback and talked about things that you did like while still critiquing.

ATTENTION! 13:21 I don’t know if you wanted to imply that this outfit is Lolita, because usually you’re a lot more knowledgeable about fashion than I am, but it is NOT Lolita! It’s too figure hugging to classify as Lolita as well as missing the iconic hoop skirt that is CRUCIAL to Lolita. It may be another fashion style like Otome Kei, but not Lolita. The next picture IS Lolita though.

I cant say got sure if that image would best be described as lolita or something else, although I do know that lolita fashion does not need to have hoop skirts. It's the most iconic style for lolita fashion, but it's not what defines something as lolita or not.

@@endieisded I think I confused Petticoats and Hoop Skirts. But if you’re saying that Lolita doesn’t need a petticoat you’re wrong. That’s the NUMBER ONE rule of Lolita. The petticoat has to either be Bell shaped or A shaped. If there’s no petticoat it is not Lolita.

@@splendidsey A bell-shaped skirt is typical, but again, not required. Sort of like how Goth fashion typically has black, but it's not a requirement.

@@endieisded Yes it is. It’s number one of every Lolita Rule list. If you show up at the Lolita meetup without petticoat on people are gonna call you a dirty ita behind your back. I don’t know much about goth, but I think the only requirement there is to listen to the music.

wow we need YOU to work on all these new movies/shows - you’re literally incredible

Wow, this was well done. I'm glad you got an artist to do mockups of each of them. It was cool to see that after discussing the inspiration for them.

I LOVE that you did that collab and let everything be drawn! That's what bothers me about moodboards all the time. Thank you!

Honestly, your designs and LucyDash’s execution made the characters look so good with their new personalities. I especially love your take on Lagoona, Draculaura, and Ghoulia.

Your restylings are so cute, I love how each one looks modern while still clearly evoking their original character. You especially nailed Draculaura and Cleo de Nile, their color palettes and Lolita inspiration are so perfect! I did not expect to love Lagoona's look as much as I do, I was a little iffy about the rash guard at first but it looks amazing with the rest of the styling.

Frankie's restyling is by far my favourite. I'm so excited that they're nb, they were my favourite when I was a kid - i wanted to collect all of them and had 6 different ones before I stopped. It's nice that I feel even more of a connection with them now :) I also love harajuku and layering big masc pieces like that!

Omg I LOVE THAT YOU COLLABED WITH LUCY DASH. SHES ONE OF MY FAV ARTISTS! Her bringing your styling to life is just perfect!

I love these restylings, and I really like that you collabed with an illustrator, the final designs all look amazing!!!

FRANKIE'S OUTFIT IS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT!!

The artwork is amazing!!! Lucydash is one of my favorite artists, and the fact that you collaborated with her was such a nice surprise! 💖💕

Fun fact about dolls is that usually the reason why dolls have long hair is for hair play x3

i love that you commissioned an artist to show the final looks!! it rlly brings the concept to life 💚

I absolutely love everything about this and how much thought you put into every single person/Monster, especially draculaura outfit fits her perfectly (and that you included her age and how that influences her fashion, and frankie not completely knowing how to dress and wearing untypical (yet so fitting) outfits

wow thank you for the collab and lucy to bring to life your outfits for the characters !! it's incredible !!!

OHHHHHH i LOVEEEEEE you showing the new outfits on the characters. THANK YOU

The drawings really sold me on these outfits, I'm glad you included them

the illustrations helped me so so soooo much to see the vision you had bc I'm a visual learner PLUS I ADORE THE ART STYLE SO MUCH DEFINITELY GIVING THE ARTIST A VISIT AND A FOLLOW

Your redesigns are so awesome! I really liked the way you were able to incorporate budget and target audience while still making them character accurate!

I LOVE the addition of the artist bringing your ideas to life.

I think it's interesting that you mentioned a Lolita look for draculaura. Hextian did a doll face up of draculaura and used lolita inspiration. I loved how the doll turned out

I LOVE that you collaborated with an artist to bring your redesigns to life. It really drives home how much better the outfits could be and your eye for fashion ❤️‍🔥

This video is great! I don't know anything about Monster High but you made it really open to nonviewers by briefing their characters and giving examples of past outfits. You really thought this out and the labor comes through in the final product. Thanks for a great video!!

i LOVE these redesign videos, its so fun to see your thought process and all the cool clothes you pick out :)

Loved, loved, LOVED this video. Amazing outfits and I love the artwork for the characters. Would honestly buy dolls of all of them but Frankie, Lagoona and Ghoulia are my personal faves.

This was so much fun. Love seeing your creative side as a stylist! I’m a millennial who has no connection to the dolls, but I loved what you did with Lagoona Blue 🏝

You did such a great job, they need someone like you styling for these movies, I love the way you research the outfit inspirations for the characters which is great 😊

omg im actually crying the artwork is STUNNING and all the thought that went into the restylings is just sooooo!!!! *CHEF'S KISS*

I think they're all great!! I feel like you did fashion and *style* without it being too busy, it all looks purposeful with intention. A common thing I see nowadays is the maximalism, solely for the sake of maximalism, and it's just missing that one piece of cohesion that would make the look stand out as a singular ~ensemble~. That being said clawdeen and cleo are most like the style I wish I did, (or do in my head), in real life I'm very casual.

I absolutely love the illustrations. Sometimes it’s hard to imagine the full outfit on the person with just styling boards and I’m in love with every single illustration. I’m kind of torn about gen 3. Honestly I was quite surprised how much I actually enjoyed the movie and the doll. But i also dislike a lot of the changes.

I love the addition of drawing the character in the new outfit, they are cute drawings and helps visualizing - I love these vids even with mood board style normally, but the drawing helps bring it together ❤

oh my gooood i love the addition of illustrations, they did such a great job!

Even though it doesn’t have a reboot (yet), I would LOVE it if you did a video like this for Ever After High. Basically, if Ever After High did get a reboot, how would you style the characters?

*rubs hands manically* this ought to be good

i honestly love the way you restyled everyone

this is so cool! i love all of the outfits especially frankie and clawdeen’s outfits!

totally loved this

IM SOO IN LOVE WITH FRANKIE'S REDESIGN THEY LOOK AWESOME

so cute!! love the illustrations of all the concepts as well lucy dash did a wonderful job with those

Loved the added illustrations!

It’s fun to see your styling! I was really turned off by the initial styling but it honestly grew on me. Even if there’s some clashing and dated looks, I realize that’s inevitable for this movie’s budget and wardrobe access. For the restraints they had, I think they pulled it off well tbh. I also personally prefer the in your face styling for something as campy as a teenage monster musical over subtle motifs but it would’ve been cool if the movie had more iconic looks.

I wish more women/ girls dressed up as frankie. I just really adore the whole skirts over pants styling

The way I gasped when I saw the artwork I love this idea of bringing your mood boards to life it’s such a nice touch!

you did such a great job i love the outfits you chose!!😍😍

I missed your restyling videos so much 🥺🤧

No hate to your designs, but I feel like this is an ongoing thing nowadays and I see it specially with Barbie. Because they feel the need to cater to the latest trends and being more accessible? I don't even understand...they make the designs so underwhelming! and boring! It's dolls! and cartoons! Kids want details and beautiful things to look at and discover. That's why I fell in love with Monster High in the beginning. The designs are so elaborate and there are so many details to look for, cool references and just overall they are impactfull. And that's how I remember my barbie dolls from childhood as well. I didn't want a doll that looked like me or looked like she could go to the groceries store, but something glamorous and beautiful that would entertain me just from looking at it. They aren't realistic? It's not meant to be. Specially here where it's a fantasy magic world of monsters. That aside, I actually appreciated some of your designs. The artist collab was genius

The illustrations are so cool! I could watch you talk about clothes forever 😍

This is my favorite video of yours. Your restyling is so SPOT ON.

Omg thank you so much for this !

A *Monster High* video from ModernGurlz!??? YASSSSSSSSS

ahh i love restyling videos, especially yours! the concept art really brought your looks to life too, and they're my favourite versions of the characters ever, to me they are canon lmao

I’m OBSESSED with the art! I have a hard time visualizing mood boards so this was PERFECT
