WAVE TO YESTERDAY.

On this lovely, sunny Monday, I am pretending to do uni work..i.e sunbathing in my garden, catching up on this months magazines and calling it 'research' and apparently obsessing over Natalia Vodianova.

Magazine galore |  Natalia Vodianova for Love magazine Issue 6 by Alasdair McLellan | 'Funky Fuschia' nails | Masculine shapes paired with feminine sheer fabrics at Stella McCartney |

Happy Monday!

FALLEN ANGELS.

Riccardo Tisci is God.

Well, the God of Haute Couture that is...
Tisci's Autumn/Winter 2011 Couture presentation for Givenchy was a collection of exquisite,
ethereal creations in subtle shades of white and gold. Inspiration came from birds of paradise, angels and clouds which resulted in the models appearing like fallen angels in Armour.

"Purity. Light in the darkness. Pure. Soft. Fragile. A Romantic dream"
or just simply, Perfection.

OH DARLING.

The legendary fashion illustrator David Downton drawing Jade Parfitt wearing McQueen Couture for Vogue.com.
I am currently working on some fashion illustrations for my portfolio and stumbled upon this video while researching. I find it absolutely mesmorising to watch and so inspiring. 
Can't say my drawings are anywhere near Downtons but I'm working on it. 
Practice makes perfect as they say.

WANNA JUMP INSIDE YOUR LOVE.

'Bunny Ears' by Tanya Ling as part of Vogue's 'Art in Fashion' collaboration with the Fashion Illustration Gallery.

Tanya Ling is fast becoming one of my favourite illustrators, her pieces have a fantastical mood to them and I love the beautiful colours she creates with the use of inks which also adds fluidity and movement...
