Transmogrification Survivor round 4: strutting down the runway

February 9, 2013 by kamaliaetalia

For the fourth and final round of Transmogrification Survivor, JD issued the following challenge to the two remaining contestants:

… you no doubt want a fair opportunity to “shake your little tush on the catwalk,” [so] it only seems right that all restrictions are off in terms of requirement. You must still create an end-game transmog, but the design is completely freestyle. Create an outfit based on whatever you like.

Having deliberately exempted myself from being one of those two lucky contestants, and with such a wide-open-ended prompt to work with, I at first wasn’t sure if I would actually do anything to “play along” with this round. But as I thought about what I might do, that phrase, “shake your little tush on the catwalk”, popped an idea into my head that I just had to explore. Using a Draenei — (in)famous for their “waggle” — as my model, I wanted to create an outfit that would be at home on a Fashion Week magazine spread.

In this ensemble from Modiste Kamalia, touches of green perk up the timeless combination of tan, black, and red.

Black and red shot-silk stockings shimmer under a camel-colored suede micro-miniskirt with matching vest. The softness of the suede is contrasted with the shiny patent leather of the belt and knee-high stiletto boots and elbow-length gloves with maroon cuffs. A sheer crimson and gold scarf wrapped once around the neck and pinned at the shoulder with showy, yet elegant antique brooches leaving the ends to flutter down the back completes the look.

Hood of Focused Energy, Shoulderpads of Knowledge’s Pursuit, Journeyman’s Vest, Ritual Belt, Jade Dust Leggings, Lava Burn Gloves + Bracers of the Energetic Elemental, Saltarello Shoes, Cape of the Fire Salamander, Fang of Vashj, Umbrella of Chi-Ji/Inscribed Red Fan

Zazzy and Freyana produced two truly exciting Transmogrification kits! I had a terrible time deciding which was my favorite, and, because the two outfits were presented to the panel of non-Surviving participants anonymously, I didn’t know who’d created which one until JD posted the winner of the grand prize!

*waggle waggle* Perfect for the runway! This is a great outfit for the Journeyman’s vest, it’s such an unusual piece

  Thank you — the Journeyman’s vest has such a unique shape that it just begs to be used, but it’s tricky to figure out what to do with it because it is otherwise so plain. I was really happy with how this outfit came together.

You know, I was just looking at that chestpiece as a possible option for my Cymre Jones outfit. Great job putting all the pieces together. It all looks great!

  Thanks! Now that I’ve started to play with the Journeyman’s Vest, I have some other ideas in mind for it. If only it would show up on my AH….

I absolutely adore that last mog with the draenei. I wonder if I can do something similar with the plack/red cloth pants of the same model for Anou…

  Thank you! I wanted to use the darker color of that style, but for some reason the Courinth Waterstrider’s Leggings weren’t showing up in Mogit for me. I’d like to see your outfit when it’s finished!
