FASHION IN MANY COLOURS AND FLAVOURS

(Dior and Gaultier)

Today was a great day. I visited not one but 3 exhibitions!
When you think of boats and sailors, Haute Couture isn't the first you will be thinking of. But 'Ahoy Fashion', a small exhibition, was a great opportunity to see amazing gowns of Gaultier, Chanel, Dior, Viktor&Rolf and Vivienne Westwood, within touching distance! All designs are inspired by sailors and captains uniforms.


(wardrobe carroussel)

With my great friend Hannie I then visited the crowed 'All eyes on Kees van Dongen'. In the ‘wardrobe carousel’ designed by Studio Wieki Somers, we could hang up our own coats and hoist them upwards. During the visit, the coat becomes part of the museum collection.

The exhibition presented a wide-ranging view of the Dutch-born artist Kees van Dongen, who became world famous in Paris for his colourful portraits of women. Women with huge eyes, acrobats, nudes, women dressed in couture by the designer Paul Poiret. Van Dongen shared a studio with Pablo Picasso in Paris. Now we didn't get the opportunity to get the chance to get to close to the original. We unexpectedly also walked into the exhibition of famous Dutch designer Hella Jongerius.

Yes, talent is always in Fashion! Time to go home after a colourful day of art. While putting on my coat, I looked into the mirror, I was wearing black, head to toes! Hannie was dressed in white. Head to Toes! Hmmmmm?!

thischicks ♥ Lanvin

(click at image to enlarge)

Last week I was checking out the blog of thischicksgotstyle. I love her style.
I enjoyed her post about Lanvin for H&M. And as a great lover of Lavin I just had to draw her in one of her favourite pieces of this collection. I got my eye on the piece of the one shoulder dress in black. Maybe I make a illustration of this dress too.



Did you know that five original illustrations made and signed by designer Alber Elbaz are to be auctioned at www.lanvinforhm.com. All proceeds will benefit the 'All for Children’-project of UNICEF. The online auction ends at 26 november, 24.00 uur CET.

Autumn with Caroline Herrera (2)

I promised you a second version of the illustration which I posted last week, that was made with the computer, using the program Paint. The above fashion illustration is made with watercolours. I also used pencil, ink and pastel (click on image to enlarge). I prefer my brushes. But it was a great experience!

Autumn with Caroline Herrera

Today I made a illustration with Paint. I made the illustration first with pencil.
Then I made a scan. With Paint I filled in the colors. A this moment I'm working on the illustration with watercolors as well. This takes it little more time. When this is finished I will put in on my blog. Please let me know which one you like to most.

SHOWING OF BURBERRY IN ILOVEFASHIONNEWSPAPER

I picked up the latest edition of the Dutch ILOVEFASHIONNEWSPAPER, and my fashion illustrations are published in it! I think the boots of Burberry worked out great. One of the illustrations, a portrait showing the make-up of Chanel FW 2010, is even on the backcoverside!!

It's so amazing to see my work in print :). And best of all it was so much fun to draw. Click at the images or go to my website NHMILLUSTRATIONS.COM to get a closer look. Visit ILOVEFASHIONNEWS.COM to see more fashionnews.

And now back to work.
