<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #7f7f7f; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My workspace started to shrink by the
day. Stacks of paper, magazines, materials, etc. were taking over my room. I
finally took some time to clean up, re-organize my workplace and a excellent
moment to archive my latest work.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #7f7f7f; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #7f7f7f; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This illustration is one of my favourites and was a experiment with disposables. This time a pair of scissors and a hobby knife were my working tools too. I choose one of my favourite looks from the Louis Vuitton FW 2012 collection and a nice pose. Then I cut out the coatdress from a yellow discloth. A first I didn't know how to create the squashed <a href="http://www.stephenjonesmillinery.com/01hats/modelMillinery.php">Stephen Jones</a> hat. The next morning I baked an egg for my son Issey, I threw away the empty brown egg carton, and there it was ... , ... my Louis Vuitton hat, in the trashcan.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #7f7f7f; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I used the egg carton to cut layers for the giant hat. I could now continue my collage. I then painted the hat and coatdress in the right colours. The big and oversized sunglasses are glassbeads, the enormous crystal buttons are bubble wrap and sequins. With other scrap material I finished the platform pumps in the collage. This illustration was so much fun, something completely new for me.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #7f7f7f; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #7f7f7f; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The moment I felt the excitement again watching this illustration, I knew I wanted to share more of my work with you. </span></span><span style="color: #7f7f7f; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">So please feel free to visit my website </span><a href="http://www.nhmillustrations.com/Welcome/RED_CARPET.html" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">NHMILLUSTRATIONS</a><span style="color: #7f7f7f; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> and see more new work.</span><br />
<span style="color: #7f7f7f; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #7f7f7f; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Right now my workplace is ready for another new fashion season, hopefully full of new fashion favourites.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #7f7f7f; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>

<i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">With his Resort 2014 collection <b>ALEXANDER WANG</b> shows his deep respect for the Balenciaga’s House’s codes.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Today Wang shows his interpretation, of the ultra modern, elegant and feminine silhouette with this sculptured petaline, volumed and ovoid shaped bolero-cum-bra top.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love to recognize the typical signature of the Spanish Basque designer and founder of the house Balenciaga.

25 Years after his graduation Piet Paris provides us insight into his work with his exposition ‘The Chambers of Piet Paris’. <br />

Piet Paris is still one of my favorite fashion illustrators. Last month I went to see his exhibition in Arnhem, The Netherlands. <br />
<br />
Like his father did to their parental home, Piet Paris has decorated his Chambers from top to bottom with his beautiful work. Paris selected over 75 illustrations for Louis Vuitton, Vogue, Elle, Rijksmuseum, KLM and Saks Fifth Avenue. With participation of Prada, Marni, Thorn Browne and many others. It’s amazing being this close to his work. There is something new in each illustration. His unique approach in craft and design. To see his sketching process wall. To see all his new work.<br />

The last years Paris has expanded his ambition for product design. From stamps to three-dimensional design like; Royal Delft Ceramics Designs, tableware, Carpets, and even a complete Fashion Hotel: <a href="http://http://www.hotelmodez.com/">Hotel Modez</a>. The exhibition ends on the runway with the Backdrop Venue for Viktor & Rolf Summer 2011. Like his illustrations the products are all concerned with form, composition and the spatial effect, for Piet Paris it feels like a natural step.<br />

Miniature mannequins in High Fashion of Dior displayed on the run way of Harrods London. The excellence and creative skills of the French Fashion House were shown in a miniature theatre experience. A nod to the 1953’s Harrods Fashion Theatre introducing a Dior fashion show and the ‘Théâtre de la Mode’ a travelling exhibition showcasing the creativity and craftsmanship of artisans of French Couture.
In 1945 and 1946, Robert Ricci, son of Couturier Nina Ricci, initiated the "Théâtre de la Mode". An exhibition shown first in Paris, and after a huge success toured across Europe and the United States, to show the creativity of the finest French Couture Designers on miniature mannequins size: approx 700 mm (27.5 inches).

Seamstresses crafted exquisite fahion with real pockets and linings, finishing every detail of the garments, miniature undergarments, milliners created miniature hats, jewellers (Cartier and Van Cleef and Arpels) contributed small necklaces and others Houses like Schiaparelli, Hermes, Balenciaga, worked on accessories, like shoes, umbrellas and tiny belts.

“The meticulous attention to details is so striking … The buttons were really buttons. The zippers really zips. The handbags had little wallets, inside them.” [quote Historian Lorraine McConaghy]
“The Theatre de la Mode holds great significance from a historical perspective because thanks to the tenacity and ingenuity of its creators and collaborators, Paris was able to assert its rightful place as the fashion capital of the world. Without this, then the world of fashion as we know it to this day, would have taken a very different turn.”
[anonymous quote]
In 1988, Paris’s Musée la Mode et du Textile undertook an extensive restoration of the mannequins and painstakingly recreating the sets. The Théâtre de la Mode now exhibits at the Maryhill Museum of Art. Parts of the Théâtre tours around the United States and Europe.

No doubt, the exhibition, shown in Harrods, was overwhelming too. Proving, again, Fashion is Art!

Still I'll rise.

Beautiful portrait of Coco Chanel on large canvas by Spanish Artist <a href="http://www.litacabellut.com/cabellut/portfolio.php">LITA CABELLUT</a>. She highlights the black and the white which are essential colours that relate to Coco Chanel’s work, this has become the sign of French elegance.
Cabellut has mastered her own technique with the brush as she prepares a surface which cracks, this creates a visual strength of the piece.
She is considered as a painter with a unique pictorial language, using a contemporary variation on the fresco-technique and her expressive pallet. At the age of 13, after a visit at the Prado-museum, she got enthusiastic about the old Spanish- and Dutch Court-master-painters. Consequently, she started to take classical paint-techniques-classes taught for times a week by an old master painter. On the age of 17, Cabellut had her first exhibition at the Town Hall of Masnou, Barcelona.

The Film <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frida">‘FRIDA’</a> (2002) unique visual language takes us into the life of Mexican painter <a href="http://www.fridakahlo.com/">FRIDA KAHLO de Rivera</a> (1907-1954). The Mexican painter suffered lifelong health problems. This life full of pain and drama, partly due to a accident and also a volatile marriage with famous Mexican artist <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diego_Rivera">Diego Rivera</a>, she expresses in her paintings. Mexican cultural and Amerindian cultural traditions are also important in Kahlo’s work, which has been sometimes characterized as Naïve art or folk art. Her work has also been described as "surrealist". She is perhaps best know for her 55 self-portraits.<br />

At the age of six, Frida developed polio, which caused her right leg to appear much thinner than the other, which she disguised by wearing long, colorful skirts. She often wore native Mexican clothing with bright colors and primitive style as an expression of her solidarity with the indigenous people of her nation. Actrice Salma Hayek wore over fifty costumes to become Frida. To get the unique ‘Frida look’, stylist Julie Weiss purchased some of the pieces from street vendors in Mexico City. “FRIDA” was nominated with six Academy Awards, one for best costume design. <br />

The movie also reminds us that art is best enjoyed when it moves, breathes and is painted on a giant canvas. Art and their creators are also often a big inspiration in the World of Fashion.<br />

“Make your own – Personal style means having a space that’s comfy but filled with stuff that has meaning to you. It should hold things created and inspired by passionate people. Personal style should make you happy and happiness is chic.” Is one of designer Jonathan Adlers Design tips. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.jonathanadler.com/interior_design.php">Jonathan Adler</a>, A potter by trade, and well-known for his "happy chic" approach to home furnishings and interior design, developed a unique style that mixes modernist forms with bold colours and "groovy" graphics. <br />
<br />
In his Soho studio, Jonathan and his team design and sculpt every prototype. Adler connected with <a href="http://http://www.aidtoartisans.org/">Aid to Artisans</a>, a non-profit organization that connects designers in America with artisans in developing countries to promote fair trade. The skilled artisans at the workshop in Peru make molds from the prototypes and then hand craft each piece from high-fired stoneware or porcelain, which peeks through the sheer white glaze. Each unique piece has a lifespan because only so many of each are made.<br />

Fans of Jonathan Adler with a little hipster flair will enjoy the Utopia collection, a playfully chic universe of vases, vessels and objects. I know I do. The collection is inspired by mid-twentieth-century Scandinavian ceramics. Adlers Man/Woman Vase features a man's face on one side and a woman's face on the other. <br />

This dress is on my wishlist. Fendi's Silvia Venturini, head of accessories had described a picture of a woman who inspired Lagerfeld to his fall winter collection 2011: a buttoned-up-to-the-neck art teacher who was still wild enough to wipe her paintbrushes in her hair and unleash the animal within. <br />
<br />
I think nowadays especially women in the streets unleash their personalities more and more by wearing what they like and not by what their surrounding ask them to wear. Hooray to this women. <br />
Thanks to shops like H&M, Zara and Topshop it is also much more affordable to look a million dollars. But let's not forget the art teachers like Karl Lagerfeld, John Galliano, Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney, Sonia Rykiel and Consuelo Castiglioni who teach us the real thing.<br />
<br />
My family(read: the men in my family) don't always share my passion/obsession for couture and high-fashion. But I'm so lucky they still love me inspite of my expensive hobby... wearing a Fendi dress or most likely without this gorgeous dress.<br />
<br />
Enjoy,<br />

Fong Leng was the first Dutch designer that gave Dutch fashion an extravagant and glamorous international appeal in the seventies. She is an inspiration for designers like Viktor & Rolf, who dedicated one of her shows to her.<br />
<br />
In 1971 Fong Leng opens a studio on Amsterdam. For 10 years she designs the most incredible and spectacular haute couture creations. The robes. Her theatrical coatdresses and skirts with quilted applications are named ‘Bird of Paradise’ and ‘Chinese love couple’. <br />

Her most famous client was the eccentric Mathilde Willink, also know as ‘the Living Work of Art’. For five years Mathilde, The lady Gaga of the seventies, bought her entire wardrobe at Fong Lengs studio, the creations costing 10 – 30 thousand Dutch guilders (5 to 15 thousands euro’s) a piece. Thanks to her extravagant lifestyle her husband and magic-realist painter, Carel Willink became more famous. In 1977 Mathilde was found dead in her own bed with a gun lying next to her, a still unsolved mystery.<br />

In 1982 Fong Leng closed her studio and starts a new career in interior architecture and art.<br />

TIt's been a crazy busy week. Deadlines, deadlines and then I also got a last minute request. This asked for creative thinking. The result was amazing. As soon a I get the pictures I will show them. From being courier to sitting front row at a Private Viewing (of Dutch Couture Designer <a href="http://www.moniquecollignon.com/">Monique Collignon</a>). I did it all this week. My workspace looks like a hurricane went trough it. Stacks of paper, paint and ink everywhere. Just when I start asking myself why I am doing this to myself, I receive an e-mail: : "We received you work, WOW!!". <br />
<br />
I have the answer. I love fashion, I love to paint and I love to share my passion. <br />
<br />
I love my work.<br />
<br />
Enjoy,<br />

Ever since I was a child I adored the jewels of nature. I brought home souvenirs from the beaches of Jamaica, Ghana, Ibiza and Bonaire. The little treasures are all over our house. I always get so relaxed, happy and inspired by these beautiful creations of Mother Earth. An ocean of prettiness just like Chanel's Summer Collection 2012. Karl Lagerfeld gave couture-like attention to new techniques and fabric innovations to create his own wonderful world of the sea.<br />
<br />
Enjoy,<br />

Today a courier delivered the October Issue of Cosmopolitan Shopping Russia. How amazing to see my illustrations and name next to Danny Roberts, Laura Lain and other talented illustrators. Cosmopolitan Shopping Russia spends a 5 page article to international Fashion Illustrators. <br />
<br />
Fashion Illustration has been around for nearly 500 years. In the 30's Vogue began to replace its illustrated covers with photographic images and illustrators got a less important role in fashion. But I'm happy to see that today fashion illustrations are earning their spot back in fashion!<br />
<br />
Thank you Cosmopolitan Shopping Russia for shining your spotlight at the art of fashion illustration.<br />
<br />
Enjoy,<br />
