It was such joy kicking off NYFW at the Bloomingdales NYC Flagship store! 
Growing up I'd spend hours in my room pouring over the pages of the Bloomingdale catalogs. I'd pretend it was my job to illustrate for them and would recreate the beautiful looks that filled their pages....​What a full circle moment! 
Picture
Thank you to everyone who came out to get drawn, those who I got to meet and the lovely Bloomingdales Team! What a great night!

NYFW Live Fashion Illustration : Triumph Hotels

9/19/2017

 
It was such an honor partnering once again with the fabulous Triumph Hotels for New York Fashion 2017. I illustrated live at each of their 7 beautiful boutique hotels, creating custom fashion illustrations in honor of NYFW.
Picture
Each hotel had a background unique to its location and the landmarks around it. The guests were then drawn into that Hotel's scene, making it a true NYFW moment.
It was such a delight getting to meet and draw the most lovely people from all across New York City, The US and the world!

Picture
Art for the face meets art on paper! Was so much fun collaborating with La Prairie on these custom fashion illustrations.
They challenged me to an artistic interpretation of their new Swiss Cellular Illuminating Mask. 
Picture
I loved the little samples and gifts they sent along with it that I had to create these "La Prairie" ladies as well!
( I saw 'heads' and a 'dress' as soon as I opened the package ;) 
Picture
Can't wait to pamper myself again with these lovely rejuvenating masks and all the other spectacular goodies! 
Until next time!

NYFW Live Fashion Illustration:  Day 2 & 3 

9/22/2016

 
 Live fashion illustration
- Live fashion illustration at Triumph Hotels -
For NYFW 2016 I had the honor of partnering with Triumph Hotels and illustrating live at three of their beautiful hotels over the course of fashion week. 
On Day 2 I illustrated at The Iroquois Hotel. It was so lovely meeting fashion bloggers, fashion enthusiasts and the fashion editor of Elle Canada herself, Juliana Schiavinatto and doing a facebook live with Elle.  
On Day 3 the live fashion illustration took place at the Hotel Chandler in their lovely library. Among all the fabulous guests, I met a fashion forecaster, NY Times Investigative reporter ( who had to run out in middle to investigate a case - no joke! ) and lots of other fashionable guests. ​
Until next fashion week!
