Black or White?

Preference?

Time.

This week has possibly been both the most productive and least productive weeks I've had in a long time! The ridiculous amounts of snow has forced the university to shut almost all week.

I've been drawing and Photoshopping up a storm as you can see.
Anyway, in keeping with productivity, here's some images I'm working on for my Fashion Promotion unit at uni. A self branding task.

Tailoring Project

I based my project loosely on power dressing and took inspiration from Armour and the work of photographer Helmut Newton.
Above is the result of the 9 week project.
A single-breasted womens jacket with 4 functioning jetted pockets with flaps, single back vent, button less vented cuffs, detachable sleeves and brocade lapels.




Two simple illustrations to accompany the project. The top one is for this garment.

Fur Fox Sake...

Today I went to the National Anti-Fur march and rally in London. Organised by CAFT-Coalition to Abolish Fur Trade.
As a lover of fashion and a life long vegetarian this is something I have a strong opinion on.

The march route took us down Sloane St. which is home to many of the big fashion designers such as Prada, Versace, Armani etc. Most of which continue to use fur.

We also headed to Harrods and belittled them for some time as well as having a moments silence for the animals that loose their lives for the vanity of humans.
Harrods is currently the only department store in the UK that does NOT have a fur free policy.

Boycott.

Thank you.

The beginnings of a logo for my Fashion Promotion Project.

Girl With a Lace Blindfold

Just a quick illustration from a photo of Ming Xi (i-D Magazine 309) to experiment with Indian ink and negative space and shading etc.

A Rollei Beautiful 35mm

Picked this bad boy up from a charity shop for a mere £25. This Rollei 35 is from around the 1970's and from what I've noticed, worth a bit more than £25!

Helmut Newton - Blue Book Image #2

There was something about This image that made me want to draw it.

The Blue Book

I got two of the passport note pads from Muji, one blue one red. Decided to do a blue project and a red one. This is drawing one from Blue.
