Delpozo SS17

 My absolute favourite NYFW show was Delpozo SS17. Under new creative direction of Josep Font, the show feaured an amazing use of contrasting colours, feminine frills and beautiful embellishment which inspired me to create a collage where I took some of my favourite elements of the collection to build an outfit.

 

Homepage Animation

 

This is my favourite of all the collages I designed for the Leivankash fine jewellery website, I think the styling looks great with the statement jewellery and the animation looks really clean on the white background of the homepage as you can see above.

July Upload

The July upload of another in the series of collage GIFs I have produced for Leivankash jewellery!

Colour Blocking

I love fuchsia and orange together plus the contrast of bright pink and soft pink so I designed and made this swimsuit as I have always loved colour blocking too- Roksanda Ilincic is my favourite fashion designer to incorporate this into her work. 

I've also dabbled in some pencil illustration too and mixed it with collage; I'm looking into ways to combine my love for illustration and swimwear together...

Gucci Cruise 17

Gucci Cruise '17 was such a fun collection, I loved the rainbow of colours used and the fun accessories incorporated into each look so I found this show to be the perfect inspiration for my next collage. The lime green frilled coat and fun sunglasses were my favourite pieces!

June Festival Look

Here's another collage and gif I produced for Leivankash, uploaded on their site this month. This is one of my favourite collages as I love the styling of the outfit mixed with my pencil drawing of a floral headband for festival season and think the jewellery pieces from the SS16 collection look great with the overall look!

Happy Easter

Here's another one of my collage/ animations, the second of the range of 7 to be uploaded on the Leivan Kash website to promote her SS16 jewellery collection. This one has been uploaded just in time for Easter Weekend, hence the candy stripes!

Pharmaceuticals

Thinking about the irony of how pharmaceuticals are designed to appeal to us through the use of colour and connotations, in the same way trivial products we introduce into our lifestyle are.

Here's my work printed in the latest edition of publication Pigeons & Peacocks, sold in WH Smiths, including the Selfridges London branch as seen above! < 3

Happy New Year! To start the new year off i've made a cute little collage of some of my favourite things at the moment...including those amazing Sonia Rykiel shoes that I loveeee so much that i made my own version with some feather trim :p

An original pencil drawing of another one of four illustrations commissioned by Debenhams in the countdown to Christmas xo

Countdown to Christmas...

In the countdown to Christmas I have been commissioned by Debenhams to illustrate a series of 4 fashion illustrations showing how to get through the Christmas season stress-free with their guide to shopping online. This is a pencil drawing layered with photo- collage featuring a Jenny Packham dress from the website. With the big day vastly approaching I think I should definitely begin taking their advice! Here's a link to the content: http://blog.debenhams.com/christmas-shopping-sorted-one-month-to-go/advice/ 

Fashion Week

With London Fashion Week vastly approaching, I've dug out one of my favourite Fashion Week street style themed collages. Happy fashion week everyone! < 3 :p

Flamingo Love

 A collage produced by me, featuring Sister by Sibling pom pom hats on silver foil reflective paper <3

Sharing in my love of flamingos, I am currently following an emerging shoe designer, Sophia Webster who's designs I am in love with! I love her whole concept of the brand which is so fun and a taste I definitely share as the collage I produced above 4 months ago reflects!

Sophia currently has a pop up shop in Burlington Arcade which I plan to visit. I love her aesthetic and you can definitely see her Nicholas Kirkwood background in the designs which are super cool <3

Ahh...hearts in my eyes!!!!
