I fell in love with this Balmain jacket as soon as I saw it, so of course I had to illustrate it. I love that it’s paired with a simple skinny black trouser – one of my faves! I thought it’d be fun to have the painting-in-progress & final piece back to back. They were originally posted on Facebook separately, but it’s cool to see how the art gets translated when it’s scanned. Some details get lost, while others get sharper. I think they both look neat, but I’ll always adore the tactile look & fine details of brushstrokes on paper. Yummy! xo

“Metallic-aah!”, Versace S/S 2013
Wow…two blog posts in less than a week…progress! I promised myself I’d make time for personal art & blog updates in between my deadlines- so I chose this shiny number since I’ve been dying to illustrate this collection since last Fall. Plus, it makes the grey days of January just a little bit brighter. I think I’d wear almost everything that Donatella sent down the runway, and that makes me want to illustrate almost everything too! The looks are all super sexy & sassy…makes me want to shimmy & sketch! xo

Golden Girl, Chanel Pre-Fall 2012
Karl Lagerfeld delivered a feast for the eyes with this gorgeously embellished collection for Pre-Fall. Inspired by the extravagance & elegance of India, these pieces are definitely something that any fashion illustrator would be delighted to sketch. I chose this gold on gold on gold look for its seasonal festivity…though I have a feeling this won’t be the last piece I sketch from this collection! xoxo

"Glam Metal", Gucci S/S 2012
Shine on! Apparently inspired by classic New York skyscrapers, this collection is super elegant, yet tough at the same time- total rock & roll glam! I’m in love. xoxo
