Personal memories
5ft 5 inches, prove that fashion has seen plenty of changes when it comes to its most iconic women.
This decade’s faces include Instagram phenomenon Kendall Jenner, who has a following of 25.5 million fans on the social media site, UK star Jourdan Dunn, who strutted her pregnant bump down the runway at Paris Fashion Week in 2010, and the “Queen of Quirkiness” Cara Delevingne.

The 32-year-old fashion designer was asked to create his own unique pair of dungarees to commemorate the landmark date and he used his own memories of playing the Nintendo game series as a child to inspire his mushroom power-up covered garment.
Speaking about his design, Holland said: “The inspiration behind the Dungarees is Mario himself and my personal memories of playing Mario non-stop as a kid! I was obsessed with killing Bowser and finding out all the new cheats and secret levels. I spent several years of my life trying to get as many mushroom lives as I could so I covered my dungarees with the very same emblem!”
Holland was one of 10 designers who was asked to upgrade Mario’s traditional blue overalls for the anniversary.
Giles Deacon, Marques Almeida, Charlie May and Zandra Rhodes are among the other designers who contributed their own unique take on the heroic plumber’s clothes.
All the dungaree designs can be bid for on eBay (www.ebay. com/usr/supermariodungarees) until Sept 24 with all proceeds going to the Starlight Children’s Foundation – which grants once-in-a-lifetime wishes for seriously and terminally ill children to provide families with happy memories to share. – Bang Media
