Fashion Project and Illustration

For the past 6 or so weeks whilst at my teaching placement I have been managing a project for an interior design company called Lesley Taylor or Taylorsetc. The company asked us to create a garment that will be showcased in their shop window. Here is the final creation and my illustration of it:

Fashion Illustrations

Recently I have been inspired many fashion illustrators, so I thought I would have a go. The images below are not completed. I am planning to sew on red sequins to the illustration with the red dress and I am going to make feathers out of paper and glue them on for the blue illustration. I will keep you posted with updated images.

Birdy & Me.

Today I came across a wonderful blog named Birdy & Me. It showcases the work of Kelly Smith an amazingly gifted illustrator who is currently based in Australia. The work shown on Bird & Me is a beautiful mixture of black and white pencil drawings with a dash of colour. Most of the  illustrations are fashion inspired and have a breathtakingly whimsical feel about them.  

Kelly has exhibited nationwide and her work has appeared in a numerous publications including: Vogue Australia, Russh, Shop 'Til You Drop, Arise,

Fallen, Cream, Yen, Pulp, and Monster Children.

The Blog is definitely worth having a look at! Here is some of the work featured on Birdy & Me

The above image is from the Birdy & Me Website, which looks amazing! It has the theme of a pop up book and really works well to introduce the work.
