Kenzo “Flower Tag” Fragrance Launch Party at Bloomingdale’s!

Live-sketching Kenzo customers at Bloomingdale’s, NYC

‘Flower Tag’ Invitation

A few weeks ago I was contacted by MANHATTAN Magazine’s Brandon Grant. He inquired if I would be interested in sketching customers & guests for KENZO’s Flower Tag Fragrance Launch party. Yes, yes and yes! We started with the Flower Tag Illustration, a pretty, poppy & peppy gal used on the party invitation & in-store displays.

I arrived at Bloomingdale’s last night & was immediately greeted by a gorgeous garden of poppies, as well as Brandon & the sweet staff of MANHATTAN Magazine. I started sketching right away, which is always a blast! I get to meet the most awesome people at events like this & they get to take home a personalized sketch by me. Yay!

Here’s what MANHATTAN had to say about the event:

Kenzo and MANHATTAN magazine hosted a social gathering to celebrate the launch of the new Flower Tag fragrance. Fashion Illustrator Jennifer Lilya was on hand, creating beautiful portraits for guests who purchased a fragrance. The event supported Dress For Success’ Young Executives of Success organization.

Thanks to everyone for a ridiculously fun night of sketching while surrounded by great people & the delicious scent of Flower Tag! Looking forward to more live-sketching & parties!

Sketching Stila Girls!

Sketching Stila Girls at Sephora Fifth Avenue

What a fun weekend! I spent the last three days sketching up a storm at different Sephora locations around NYC. I first worked with Stila back in September for Fashion’s Night Out, and I have to say they are a dream to work with! Sarah Lucero, Stila’s global creative director & celebrity make up artist, was in town for makeover consultations, so I was asked to sketch personalized Stila Girls for her customers. Sarah’s so amazing at what she does- flawless makeup that makes everyone look & feel beautiful. Not to mention, she & the awesomely talented team of Stila Artists are sweet as pie and a blast to be around!

I ended up sketching hundreds of Stila Girls (and Guys!) over the course of the weekend. It’s so much fun to give the customers a personalized sketch of themselves after they’re finished getting all dolled up. It makes me so happy to make other people happy with my art. Thanks to Stila and everyone who came out to see me! Can’t wait for the next one! xoxo

Lilya Live Sketching!

I had such a fun time at the Lion’esque Media/Yelp Giftacular earlier this December. I sketched pretty much non-stop for eight hours since the place was jam-packed with shoppers! I can write a small novel about it, but Brandon over at Would You Rock This? did an amazing recap featuring lots of pictures & illustrations. Check it out here and stay tuned for more live- sketching events! xoxo
