The Intersection of Art & Style: A Personal Odyssey

A World of Imagination

“Clothes aren’t going to change the world, but the women that wear then will.”- Anne Klein

Greetings, fellow fashion aficionados and art enthusiasts! Today, I'm excited to take you on a journey into my world—one where pencil strokes, vibrant hues, and the dance of brushes on canvas come together to create the enchanting tapestry of fashion illustrations. In an era dominated by lenses and pixels, for me there's an enduring magic in the tactile connection of the pencil, pen or brush on paper.

The Birth of a Passion

Growing up, when I could spend hours with my pencil and paper drawing fashion. For me it is always a place where elegance meets expression and each stroke of the brush whispers tales of style and sophistication. As a middle class family, we didn’t have the money to buy fancy clothes. But in the quiet corners of my childhood, where my notebooks met imagination, my love affair with fashion illustrations blossomed and I could escape into a world I only dreamed of. My doodles transformed into dreams, and each sketch held the promise of a stylish future.

Fashion illustration has been around for about 500 years, ever since clothes and trends existed there has been the need to translate an idea onto paper. It was born when the first fashion magazines appeared in France during the reign of Louis XIV. Fashion always starts as a drawing. But in our digital age of photographic overload, illustration stands as a refreshing oasis in the midst of the continuous scroll.

The Intersection of Dreams and Artistry

Now, I find my self still drawn to taking those roots and infusing it on canvas. My love affair with fashion illustration continues to shape my artistic narrative, promising an ever-evolving tapestry of creativity.
