I've been completely absent from blogging and pretty poor with illustrating on a regular basis since moving to London in January. 

London life is extremely hectic, but also very inspiring as a creative. Anyway, my plan is draw and get creative as much as I possibly can in my spare time...... & update my blog and new illustration Facebook page with my latest stuff... Watch the space!

Illustrations from Paris Fashion Week - Day 1

I had the most amazing experience at London Fashion Week illustrating for Fashion Scout's blog. This is because I was doing something I love and am super passionate about and had so much creative responsibility. I enjoyed running from hair and make-up rooms, to back stage of the catwalk to the show itself, all to get the best inspiration for my illustrations. I hope that you enjoy the illustrations as much as I enjoyed creating them!

Illustrating for Fashion Scout at London Fashion Week has made me realise that fashion illustration is something that I really wish to pursue as a career. I am currently looking for work in illustration, probably freelance, but a full time job would be amazing. 

As well as working London Fashion Week, I also worked London Fashion Weekend. My role was being part of the general staff and making sure that the public was looked after. This was enjoyable and I throughly enjoyed being part of a busy, high fashion atmosphere and contributing to the bigger outcome. I got some great street style images from LFW and LFWend that I want to do illustrations of , but haven't yet had the time, so that will be coming soon. I also have a lot of things that I want to illustrate from Milan Fashion week, but in the meantime, it is currently Paris Fashion Week and I have decided to illustrate each day the highlights from some shows. I wish that I could be in Paris as I had been in London, then I would have more fluid images to inspire me; maybe next season I will be lucky enough.

Day one Paris Fashion Week.

London Fashion Week - LULU LIU

LULU LIU, the amazing and beautiful SS14 collection showcases at Freemasons Hall yesterday. This collection is one of my favourite collections of the season. I love the beautiful summer's elegance that LULU LIU captures in her collection "Yarrow Wando" and this inspired me as an illustrator to create the pieces below for the Fashion Scout blog. All of the images are my own, from either backstage or the live catwalk show.

London Fashion Week and PAM HOGG - SS14

London Fashion Week SS14 is officially over. This has been my favourite fashion week, and as you already know I have had an active role during it as Fashion Illustrator for Fashion Scout's blog. This role gave me full creative responsibility and I was able to go behind the scenes for all catwalks and attend any Fashion Scout show that I wanted, which was extremely exciting and great fun. 

I almost wish that illustrating for London Fashion Week was my full time job. The atmosphere is super fast paste and energetic, and doing something that I love and am passionate about 24/7 made me feel like I wasn't even working. 

A definite highlight from London Fashion Week was seeing the Pam Hogg SS14 collection. The show was everything and more that you would expect from a Pam Hogg show, shocking, emotionally moving, creative and punk. Below I have included a video of the Pam Hogg show, which is a must watch! I don't want to give to much away, so please watch in large and I hope that you enjoy the show as much as I did.

Illustrations from day 4

Day four was yet another amazing day of fashion week. I discovered the outstanding designer Little Shilpa meet Suzie Sue and other inspiring illustrators and to top it off I got to watch the Pam Hogg show which was AMAZING. 

I'm so inspired by the Pam Hogg show, but haven't had a moment to illustrate it. I promise that soon I will illustrate it though as the show is amazingly beautiful and crazy.

Beyonce Babes

I was lucky enough to see my all time idol on Wednesday night at the O2 Arena.

Her performance was outstanding and inspirational. 

At the end of the gig I felt genuinely sad that it was all over, I am determined to see her again live.

This was my outfit for the show. I did post this outfit on Lookbook the other day with out the bag. The neon yellow bag is from Monki. 

Other pickies from the night...

Pure London

Yesterday I was lucky enough to go to Pure London fashion buying event for Autumn/ Winter 13/14.

The highlight of the day was the WGSN trend forecast for A/W 13/14. I learnt that there are three macro trends for the coming season; Hack-tivate, Living design and 21st Century Romance. 

Key strong elements that caught my interest for A/W 13/14 are; iridescent materials, computer generated prints, layering, sheer materials, beanies, high neck shapes (turtle neck, chunky scarves, lace neck yokes), skater skirts and structured shoulders.
