Vintage INSPIRATION


 

Recently I've been absolutely fascinated with vintage fashion and photography.
I think the thing i love the most about it is the fact that although they didnt have all the high-tech gear we have today, they still produced some of the most beautiful and iconic images!!
Heres some images i found around the web of some stunning vintage photos by amazing photographers such as Horst P. Horst and Erwin Blumenfeld.

Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Autumn Winter 2013

The Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Autumn Winter 2013 collection is just to die for!
Lace, frills, embellishments....heaven.
I could have drawn every single look from this beautiful collection but i had to restrain myself to just one!
I chose this one worn by the stunning model, Sasha Luss and completed it using pencil and watercolour.

Heres some more from the enchanting collection.

Summer Days




 
(Via Instagram)
 
Ahhh, my favorite time of the year -
English summer is finally here and (I hope) to stay!
Here are some of my summer snaps from instagram.
I love the long hot summer days, lots of picnics, sun bathing and BBQs
 Although the the weather is SO beautiful, i dont really like drawing in the heat so sorry about the lack of fashion illustrations!

Julien Macdonald Competition

I entered Julien Macdonald's sketch competition a couple of months back with this pencil and glitter fashion illustration and came second!
There where so many beautiful entries, i dont know how they chose!

  

I received this drawing by Julien Madonald a few days back i was so excited to see it had been signed by him! 
I am ever inspired by his works so it was an absolute honor to come second in his competiton.
