The Seated Beauty

Friday, April 16th, 2010

I don’t usually post whole mag editorials but whatever, this is so beautiful that I will make an exception. It’s Natalia Vodianova styled by Nicoletta Santoro and photographed by Paolo Roversi for Vogue China’s may issue. LOVE.

Oh man, J.Crew really know how to make a catalogue don’t they? This is the new one for April and I’m digging it. Magdalena Frackowiak looks adorable and I’m now overcome with the desire to buy cashmere cardigans in colours that I rationally know will look terrible on me. Amazing work basically selling basics!

Not just for the boys

Pretty much everyone who knows me, knows I’m a fiend for knitwear (especially the patterned cheesy christmas jumper kind), so Sibling‘s knitwear for guys has got me swooning. In particular, I’m dying over the lime green leather elbow patches. I love elbow patches!

and I mean, this is just insane. Insane awesome.

Beautiful illustrations by Cédric Rivrain for the SS10 Maison Michel look book. A perfect example of mixing illustration with product shots to make something much more interesting that the standard bored-model-against-white-background snoozefest often seen in look books.

Also, damn I wish I could pull off a boater!

I loved the details from Miu Miu a/w ’10, especially the neckpiece bows and colourful eye make-up.

Lamija look book

Monday, March 15th, 2010

Lovely swedish designer Lamija Suljevic asked me to illustrate her autumn/winter ’10 look book and here is the result. I wanted to do something colourful and graphic to complement her beautiful photo look book (shot by Emma Jonsson Dysell, below). I’m pretty happy with how it came out!

The pieces are one-of-a-kind and embellished with hand embroidery, pleats, laces and braids. I love the tiny waists and exaggerated shoulders and hips. A dream to draw!
