Carleigh's Obit

Interview with Carleigh Carleigh's Portfolio Carleigh's Prototypes

Carleigh's Road to Hasbro


Carleigh's Portfolio
photo01
design from Carleigh's letterhead

 

 

Here are Polaroid photos, color Xerox illustrations, and sketches from Carleigh's Portfolio. I was in contact with Carleigh in 2003-2005. She sent me the photos, illustrations and sketches, marketing material, along with the Splashes of Sound fabric and many boxed dolls and fashions. She was going to send unfinished samples, patterns, etc., but those were already packed for her move. I returned the Polaroids and Xerox copies, so she could keep them in her portfolio. I still have the sketches from her sketchbook, along with the large trace of the Matching Medley fashion.

Carleigh was a free spirit at Hasbro; she didn't necessarily follow the corporate norms. She started working on her masks and because they were so positively receive; Hasbro wanted to create the fashions to go with. So the Mardi Gras assortment was born, along with a Halloween costume assortment. The Halloween concept was the fashions would be associated with the Starlight Girls and the costumes would be sold for real girls to wear.

So Sunbow produced episode 5205-50 - "Mardi Gras" and may have inspired episode 5205-33 - "Trick or Techrat"

Carleigh had only taken credit for two produced fashions Moroccan Magic and Midnight Magic. She also took (and given credit) for the Mardi Gras fashions. Carleigh also took credit for coordinating the colors of the Matching Medley fashions, but did not take credit for any of the actual designed pieces in the collection. I verified the another designer designed the actual peices. And I would have to assume she deserves credit for the International fashions and 2 Flipside Fashions, 2 unknown fashions below. At this date I have not verified those fashions. She is credited with 609038-01R.

She may have designed similar fashions or variations on known fashions, but she did not take credit for any other fashion, because other designers did the majority of the work and/or the original fashion. I do have verification by her fellow designers from her department. Actual design and prototyping credit can be seen on JEM’s Fashion Connection.

Carleigh was hired as an In-house Designer. Hasbro had her design some fashions on a freelance basis after she did not get hired for the position she orignaly applied for. When she was hired full time Hasbro moved her from California to Rhode Island to work at Hasbro Corporate.

Looks like Carleigh had some alternate ideas for Splashes of Sound -- but she did not take credit for this fashion.
 

Carleigh designed this dress/tunic, pants/suit and sleeves were designed to be worn in four different ways.
1.) dress (belt) with sleeves,
2.) pants (jumpsuit) with sleeves,
3.) tunic (dress no belt), pants, and sleeves, and dress (belt)
4.) dress (belt) with pants

The dress was originally designed to open to show purple underneath as the tunic version. No tube top was part of this design. The elastic on the top of the jumpsuit worn with belt and sash could give the appearance of a tube top.


 

Carleigh also seemed to have designed on variations of There’s A Medley Playing at part of the hiring process -- extended the dress and veering the length. But Carleigh did not design the finished version or prototype the fashion. designer credit

Carleigh's employment submission version allowed the skirt to be raised and lowered all they way down to the ankles.

Starlight Girls Assortment 4025

Episode 5205-26
Glitter and Gold

Carleigh was in charge of the fashions for the new Starlight Girl dolls, based on Christy Marx original characters.

Carleigh also designed a set of Misfits girls because she thought it was not fair for the Holograms to have teen girls, but the Misfits did not. She designed them based on Jetta, because Jetta was the last Misfits to be prototyped by her department.

Carleigh created the masks, and Hasbro loved them so much, she had to create the fashions to sell them.

Halloween Costumes Hasbro liked Carleigh's masks so well, they were coming up with real Halloween costumes for girls to show case them. They may have been promoted on the Straight Girls in the series -- they were not going to be promoted with the main charaters and not avaliable in doll scale.

Not Officially Jem related
