Inspired by...Dolce &Gabbana runaway look from Autumn/Winter 2017/2018 collection


Today I'm sharing another fashion illustration with you. The medium is acrylic on cardboard. I illustrated a dress from Dolce & Gabbana Autumn/ Winter 2017/ 2018 collection. Have you seen this collection yet? I always end up liking DG collections. I suppose it is their Mediterranean aesthetics that appeals to me. I have a feeling that really know how to integrate Mediterranean cultural references in their designs. I always like to see a bit of folklore influences when it comes to fashion. Keeping a connection with tradition can be such a wonderful thing. Anyway, if you're interested in checking up some of my other works related to DG, I previously illustrated two runaway looks from this brand (here  and here). One more thing.... the first person who leaves me a comment saying they want this illustration, will get this illustration as a gift. I'm not sure about exact dimensions, because I used cardboard from the cover of one of sketching blocks for it. I think it is pretty close to A4 format...but hey you can cut it to any size you want.

Danas sa vama dijelim još jednu modnu ilustraciju. Medij je akril na kartonu.  Ilustrirala sam haljinu iz kolekcije Dolce & Gabbana za jesen i zimu 2017/2018. Jeste li vidjeli ovu kolekciju? Meni se njihove kolekcije uvijek sviđaju, valjda mi se dopada njihov mediteranski osjećaj za estetiku. Imam osjećaj da uvijek znaju uklopiti mediteranske kulturne utjecaje u svoje dizajne. Uvijel volim vidjeti folklorne utjecaje kada je moda u pitanju. Odražavati vezu s tradicijom može biti divna stvar. Zanimaju li vas i moji drugi radovi na ovu temu, već sam ilustrirala dvije kombinacija s piste ovoga branda (ovdje i ovdje). Još samo nešto....prva osoba koja mi ostavi komentar da želi ovu ilustraciju, dobit će ovu ilustraciju na poklon.  Nisam sigurna koje su točne dimenzije jer sam koristila karton s poleđine bloka za crtanje, mislim da je približno A4, uostalom možete je izrezati i u neki drugi format.

    You are so talented Ivana. This painting is so beautiful! You did an amazing job of translating the D and G look with acrylic and cardboard. What do you do with your paintings when you are done with them?

      It depends, if I really like them then I frame them and hang them up....but I don't have enough space on my walls for all of them so I sometimes give them to friends so they can hang them up:). I also sent a few of them to fellow bloggers.

    Hi Ivana! I haven't seen this collection yet, but I think that it's a matter of time - every season I end up liking Dolce&Gabbana's collection as well - I'm so in love with their colorful and feminine projects :) You did great work on this illustration - it looks pretty amazing, what's more I love the details of its - that outfit looks realistic and in my opinion you're getting better and better and painting, dear friend.
    Have a lovely evening, Ivana :)

    Hello dearest Ivana,
    your illustration is wonderful again! I like the Dolce & Gabbana-style too - it's full of power, nice details and good ideas - what a pitty that it's much too expensive for me. (We need our money for our journeys, you know ;-)) I hope you and your husband can travel to Africa one day - for me it's the most interesting continent ever! In my current post I show a reiceipe and a green capsule wardrobe, but in my next post I will show man African animals again and there will be some nice elephant-photos, too! :-)

    It's true that D&G collection often reflect a strong Mediterranean aesthetic but it makes sense since the designers are Italian but still they do it in a way that feels authentic and it feels right for the brand. You did a fantastic job with this illustration!

THE ISLAND OF THE MISSING TREES BY ELIF SHAFAK (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Today I shall review The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak. I was actually gifted this book. What a wonderful present it proved to be! Published in 2021, this postmodern  novel  follows two  story lines and uses framed narration.  The Island of Missing Trees  tells the life story of a Greek Turkish couple and their adolescent daughter.  This novel examines and explores a number of topics such as identity, migration, immigrant life, war trauma, memory, love and family. It's an ambitious novel that examines serious topics with due respect and sensitivity . I read it months ago, but I remember it vividly. Honestly, I cried a lot while reading this novel. It really moved me greatly. In fact, that is probably why it took me this long to finish this book review. I needed to emotionally process the story.   The Island of Missing Trees is   set in London and Cyprus. The narration isn't chronological .  The story jumps back and forth, following ...

VISIT SINJ (CROATIA) WITH ME! EXPLORE THE DALMATIAN HIGHLANDS!

Image
Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Regular readers of my blog will know that I'm Dalmatian and ' parce mihi Domine,' (as St. Jerome's supposedly used to pray). Dalmatia is one of four historical Croatian regions. When we're talking about coastal regions in Croatia, there are only two: Istria and Dalmatia. Occupying the majority of Croatian seaside, Dalmatia is extremely popular with tourists. Dalmatian coast is quite long, including hundreds of islands, and running from Zadar in the north do Dubrovnik to the south.  However, there's more to Dalmatia than its seaside and islands.  I'm from the seaside myself, a proper sea child and all,  but I love the Dalmatian Highlands. Rich in history and culture, Dalmatia Highlands are unique in many ways. From culinary delicacies to fascinating traditions, from untouched nature to picturesque towns and villages, you'll find much to admire here. Have I blogged about it before? I certainly did. I blogged about the Gr...

BURGUNDY AND YELLOW OUTFIT IN SPLIT CITY

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll show you an autumn outfit I wore for a seaside stroll with my family in Split city, Croatia. This outfit is another example of me shopping my closet, so you can expect the sustainable fashion files to kick in any minute. This was a very comfortable outfit to wear that also felt very energizing. Probably it was due to colour therapy and all that. Wearing colours often makes me feel better. Mustard yellow and burgundy are the main colours in this look, and I do love these colours together. I dressed in layers, for it was quite windy and fresh despite the warm sun.  As regular readers of my blog know, Split is my home city, and you can find me there very often. In fact, you could say that I live between Split and Mostar. I love Mostar, but I do miss the sea. Is there anything better than seaside in Autumn and Winter? I always love being near the sea, but during the Autumn and Winter when there are hardly any people aroun...

WHAT I WORE IN MOSTAR FOR WONDERFULLY WARM AND SUNNY AUTUMN DAYS

 Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Happy Sunday! In this post, I'll share three warm Autumn outfits I wore for strolling around Mostar city. Today is quite cold and cloudy for our Mediterranean standards, so the plan is to stay in and catch up with blogging. I've had a pretty eventful weekend so far. Weekend sometimes seem to just fly by, don't they? We often try to make up for the things we didn't do during the week, especially us ladies. We try to fit in all in- to clean the house, do chores and that sort of things. Sometimes weekends can even be tiring. There are conferences and meetings to attend. Learning how to shut down and rest properly can be a challenge. Life gets busy, and sometimes the older we get, the more busy it becomes. That's why I'm so grateful for these little outings I do, being a tourist in my own city and country- that sort of thing. I sometimes feel like I mastered sustainable and local travel . The challenge is just finding the time to ...

30 PLUS WAYS TO WEAR AN OLIVE BLAZER (SUSTAINABLE FASHION FILES)

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, we'll talk some more about  sustainable fashion. As I believe the best way to learn is through example, so I'll show you multiple ways how to style an olive green blazer. On this little digital place to call my own, I love to show you how you can be more sustainable by shopping your closet. The more you love items in your closet and the better care you take of your clothes, you easier you'll find it to shop your closet. So, that's something to keep in mind! Besides linking up outfits with this blazer, I'll link up multiple ways to wear other items in my closet. As always, there will be fun collages to help you see the vision- how chic and fun restyling items can be! Olive green can be somewhat of an underrated colour, even if it is trending at the moment. For Autumn/Winter 2024/2025, tonal dressing in olive greens and khakis is right on trend. I'm convinced that when styled right, olive green can look good wi...

FORGIVENESS DAY BY URSULA K. LE GUIN (BOOK REVIEW AND AN AUTUMN STYLING)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! How are you today? I'm back with another Ursula K. Le Guin book review. In this post, I'll review " Forgiveness Day" , a science fiction novella that is a part of the Hainish Circle. Published in 1995, "Forgiveness Day " won multiple awards. This novella is often published together with her other novellas from the Hainish Circle, and it can be find in various editions of Four Ways to Forgiveness and Five Ways to Forgiveness.   Thematically, this novella is a part of five stories featuring two Hainish planets, but it can definitely be read on its own. I think it functions well as a stand alone novella. I listened to it in audio form, and I didn't have any problems following the story.  The world building is simple and effective. The author fills us in about the history of the two planets as the story enfolds. For such a short work of prose, this novella is really impressive in that it manages to explore the theme o...
