Harpers Bazaar Espana

A Brodovitch Legacy

September 4, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

There is a reason why I have a crush on Harper’s Bazaar España, apart from Sandra Suy’s beautiful illustrations. The attention to the layout of text, in relationship to images, is really quite something. I confess I am a terrible magazine junkie, and it may simply be the case that I am so used to reading the same magazines, I’ve become desensitised to their layout. But the creative, contoured use of text in this publication has really hit me between […]

Look At Me, I’m Sandra Suy

August 7, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

Leafing through Harper’s Bazaar España (which I’m becoming a huge fan of), I recognised the illustrative work of Barcelona based Sandra Suy. You might recognise some of her work from the illustrations commissioned for Chloe’s sixtieth birthday? A regular on most fashion illustration pinterest boards, particularly my own, she seems to capture the most feminine, almost feline qualities of our gender – and without doubt, the best dressed! With commissions from Missoni, Zara, L’Oreal and Truimph, it’s a clear sign […]

Project X Goes Live

May 6, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

Firstly the pole shoot went well (I think)! I have yet to see the pics but we worked our backsides off and made a pretty good team, I might add. So I’m hoping there must be some money shots there. I certainly have the bruises to prove it! Watch this space people…. Secondly, I can now finally launch Project X. I have been collecting a few of my illustrations which people have “liked” on the blog and decided to get […]

Fashion Illustration, Daphne van den Heuvel

Texture-tastic

February 28, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

Daphne Van Den Heuvel really knows how to illustrate texture. Love, love, love….. Aren’t they stunning? I love the stripes on brown paper, you almost want to reach out and touch them. If you would like to see more or purchase prints do take a look at Daphne’s site, the red rail is particularly interesting.

Sieff, Carolyn Everitt

Baby I’m Broke

February 8, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

I love this picture by Sieff (1985), so simple but with the shadows from the window, so clever. I wanted to see if I could capture the same effect, particularly the shadows of the netting but I think it’s more of a “inspired by” rather than a copy – the shadows are slightly different and she seems considerably more melancholy than the original. I was listening to Baby I’m Broke by Lucky Soul, I guess it infected my mood! Great […]

Not Just Another Chick

February 6, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

I’m loving I’m His Girl by Friends at the moment – almost Princess Superstar mixed with Ladyhawke. And when I came across Ashley Goldberg’s cool coloured girls I thought they just fit the song perfectly – certainly not just another chick! Enjoy…….. Diana Gwen Clementine Rosie Lily Ginger

Lace Lashes at Chanel

January 31, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

Never mind the couture at Chanel what about those lashes? Weren’t they fantastic? Couldn’t resist putting pen to paper! Illustration by me, Images from Style.com And if you’ve ever wondered what goes into these collections, just take a look at this fantastic clip, courtesy of Refinery 29. To be able to create detail like that must be amazing. p.s. I’ve changed format again – the columns were driving me nuts!
