Designer David Santillanes - “I wanted to highlight some of my inspiration for the Sexy Snow Queen in our Costume Confidential Collection. My main source of inspiration was a gorgeous ballerina costume featured in a stage production of Hans Christian Anderson’s "The Snow Queen.” I really wanted this costume to glimmer and sparkle. While doing some inspirational shopping in the LA Fashion District, I found a blue sequin fabric and jeweled snowflake brooch that were the perfect fit for this style. To give the fur an icicle feel, I added an iridescent bead trim that dangles gently around the arms. The handkerchief skirt is made in layers and iridescent organza and satin. Her sculpted crown is the finishing touch, complete with clear rhinestones, iridescent glitter, and faceted crystals. "
