July Upload

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

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

A recent collage I have produced for Pigeons & Peacocks online feature, find the link below!

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.

Spring 2014 Paris Couture Week

Here are some of my favourite gowns from Spring 2014 Paris Couture Week, i loved the rainbow of hues and intricate beading at Elie Saab and Zuhair Murad and the touch of mint at Giambattista Valli and as always, the embellishment on the clean white Chanel collection.

I love this snap of my satin & grosgrain ribbon top i made and wore in Portugal, it's super cute!

Happy New Year

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!

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

V festival

V festival last weekend was so much fun..! I went on the Saturday when Beyonce was headlining :D Here I'm wearing American Apparel & a Topshop fluffy jacket yo :p

Blush Pink

This is a top that I designed for myself as I had an image of the style I wanted so decided to simply make it myself! Constructed from a pattern I made, it is a satin & silk crop cami top in blush pink lined with ivory duchess satin. Loveeeeeee...

Ibizaaaaa!

 Last week I enjoyed an amazing week in Ibiza! This is my fifth time to the island and every time I visit, I have a different experience which I love about it. This time my three friends and I had a fun week, visiting events and locations that I had never tried before so it was great to all be trying something new at the same time...

My outfit of choice for this long day was a Topshop bandeau bikini top and skirt, Miu Miu tortoise shell sunglasses, an embroided beach bag that I purchased in a market in Thailand 3 years ago and Zara sandals.

Experimental Cocktail Beach Club- where we were served an Old Cuban cocktail in a giant pearly shell whilst watching the sun set on Salinas beach <3 

A particular highlight of the holiday was on the Thursday when we had a lovely relaxing shopping day in Ibiza Old Town and then went onto The Experimental Cocktail Beach Club in Las Salinas for some drinks to watch the sunset before moving onto a very contrasting night of clubbing in Amnesia to see Calvin Harris!

 

Ocean Beach Club was fun, where we had a shell bed to ourselves and enjoyed frozen cocktails whilst listening to the DJ all day before having a lovely sushi lunch and watching the sun set at 9pm with a bellini- perfect! Gorgeous view?!

Acrobatic dancing on a string of balloons- as ya do at David Guetta :p

Another favourite of ours was Ushuaia where we went to two events, David Guetta and Departures which was so much fun. As the DJ's play their sets the aeroplanes arriving to Ibiza airport fly over the stage which was super cool.
