This version of Alice is based on Mary Blair's drawing and pays homage to Tenniel's original illustration, while drawing on more modern elements.

The color was already known as Alice Blue because author Alice Roosevelt Longworth, the eldest daughter of the 26th President of the United States, Teddy Roosevelt, had worn it decades earlier. The silhouette borrows heavily from Christian Dior's post-war 'new look' - including a wide skirt and a more defined waist.

The dress has been referenced many times by designers and photographers. In 2003, American Vogue arranged a memorable shoot in which Natalia Vodianova played Alice, wearing a series of custom-designed blue dresses.

In each of Annie Leibovitz's blockbuster photographs, Natalia was accompanied by a designer dressed as characters from Wonderland (as well as characters from Alice Through the Looking Glass, the 1871 sequel to the book).

Viktor and Rolf dressed as Tweedledum and Tweedledee; John Galliano as the Queen of Hearts; Tom Ford dressed as a white rabbit.

Stephen Jones is the perfect Mad Hatter.

Described by Grace Coddington, former creative director of American Vogue, as an "exhausting yet exhilarating" and "magical" shoot, Vodianova's mix of innocence and dark humor seems appropriate for a contemporary understanding of Alice.

Recently, photographer Tim Walker retold Carroll's story for the 2018 Pirelli calendar.

Tim Walker's work has traditionally focused on quirky characters, dreamlike Settings and dramatic scale contrasts that can be interpreted as his own side of the wonderland.

The shoot featured an all-black cast, with model Duckie Thot playing Alice in pale blue and high heels, and drag superstar RuPaul playing the defiant Queen of Hearts.

Both Leibovitz's and Walker's photographs brilliantly illustrate Alice's fashion appeal. They are fun, fantastical and immersive.

They immerse one in fantasy, presenting a vivid painting whose characters and scenes are already familiar to the viewer.

Carroll's story is eclectic and varied. It can be interpreted in a variety of ways, from flimsy to gloomy, depending on whether you're looking at gaudy tea sets or a confused exploration of the unknown.

In both cases, though, fashion imagery often relies on creating a sense of absurdity that seems sublime.

Of course, this upside-down wonderland is fascinating.

This is a space where absurdity flourishes, and distortion (a quality that can easily be interpreted through clothing) is no surprise here.

At this point, you'd be hard-pressed to find a designer, photographer, or stylist who hasn't jumped down the rabbit hole or slipped into that mirror, whether it's Miuccia Prada's love of headbands, Alice Temperley's reference to Alice's escapist journey, Or a Comme Des Garcons T-shirt with a custom illustration of Tenniel.

For many of these creators and brands, Alice is also a direct reference to the bold imagination of young people.

It's the kind of power that fashion people love to draw on, reminding them of the familiar images of dressy box games they played as children, the clamor to match quirky and goofy visuals.

Alice was summoned to enter a fantasy world that we all know, and to have fun recreating it.
