Issue 7

Here's a preview of two of three collage illustrations that Pigeons and Peacocks Magazine have commissioned for their issue 7-due out the last week of August.

I produced the collages for an article discussing Greek influence on Fashion, covering designers Jean Paul Gaultier and Mary Katrantzou.

Flashback

I thought I'd post this video I discovered of my overall experience of collaborating with Orchid Male Cancer Charity this year as it's great to see the panel of experts including GQ editor Dylan Jones, British Fashion Council chairman Harold Tillman and Phil Vickery choosing my t-shirt design.
The t-shirt is still on sale in House of Fraser and available to purchase online here  too! It's great to look back and see the process of my t-shirt going on sale, the photoshoot that promoted it and of course seeing one of my collages printed on a t-shirt :)

Orchid Fever

I'm thrilled to announce that my fashion illustration design has been chosen as the Orchid Male Cancer Charity 2012 t-shirt! 

The judging panel included Harold Tillman (Chairman of the British Fashion Council), Dylan Jones (Editor of GQ), Allan Winstanley – Executive Director for Menswear, Childrenswear & Beauty, House of Fraser, George Lamb (TV Presenter) and Adrian Clark, Style Director at Shortlist. 

The T-shirt features a fine pencil and collage illustration and is due to be released in April during the Orchid Male Cancer Awareness Week 23-29th April 2012 and will be sold in 

House of Fraser, the Orchid online shop as well as various other independent retailers. Exciting! <3

Master of Illustration

Thursday evening the London College of Fashion held a talk lead by the industry's most successful and loved fashion illustrator, David Downton. Talking us through his career, inspirations and portfolio, Mr Downton presented to students of fashion illustration, fashion design and super model Erin O Connor of whom he has worked very closely with. It was a fantastic event in which i was able to gain a great insight into a hugely successful career within fashion illustration.

Here we have just a selected number of the final photographs of the outfits i styled for a project in which LCF students collaborated with English National Ballet to create fashion clothing inspired by French ballet company the Ballet Russes. These images will go on to be exhibited at the V&A for the 'Diaghilev and the Golden Age of the Ballets Russes’ exhibition.
