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 two main timelines, one set in moder

SUPPORTING LOCAL DESIGNERS IN MOSTAR: TRANSITIONAL AUTUMN STYLING WITH OZZ BRAND

Hello readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll share two transitional outfits featuring a lilac skirt from fashion designer Stanka Zovko. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you've probably seen this skirt before. Afterall, I'm really good at shopping my closet. I've been wearing this lilac skirt a lot in the past few months. It's also a great piece for transitional weather because it can be easily layered, or dressed up and down.  Supporting local designers and artisans is certainly something that pays off in the long run. If you want to own unique pieces and at the same time, support your local community, you should really explore shopping local, or commissioning local artisans and designers.  Sustainability in fashion is a big topic nowadays! However, sometimes I feel like people make it more complicated than it really is. We should go back to our origins. Explore vintage, second hand and local shopping.

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

MALTA HIKING TALES (PART FIVE) GHAJN TUFFIEFA AND QUARABBA BAY

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! I'm back with another Malta themed post. Recently I posted a painting inspired by Malta. As some of you might remember, I visited Malta a few years ago, but I only blogged about it last April, when I published a series of post on Malta. My series about Malta isn't finished, though. In fact, today we're going to continue it. Considering my stay on Malta was two weeks long, it deserves more than a couple of posts. There is a lot to see and do on Malta. It's a small island, but one that's filled with so much life and beauty. Although Malta faces some problems caused by fast tourism, it remains an unique and magical island.  In this post, I'll take you to the bays I visited while hiking on Malta. One of them (Ghajn Tuffieha Bay) is the one I painted. You can visit that post by clicking on the link below: TRAVEL WITH MY ART #43, GHAJN TUFFIEHA BAY, MALTA LET'S START WITH THE GOLDEN BAY We actually didn't go all the way

 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! It's almost ten. I've had a long week and I'm quite tired and sleepy. However, I'll try to wrap this post up for you tonight. What kind of post? Well, a post about art. Fashion art to be more precise.  I've been on a roll lately with my art posts.

I got back to my destination art series, and now it's time for another post in my fashion art series. Friday Fashion Illustration  is somewhat of a regular feature on my blog. Today I'll share two watercolour pencil fashion illustrations of mine. I sketched both of them this Summer in my A3 mixed media sketchbook. I sketched the long yellow dress first, and then the blue and read one. The medium for both of them is watercolour pencils on paper, the same brand I always use. I find watercolour pencils to be quite practical, especially for sketching. I often use the

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER, A SHORT STORY BY W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! Welcome November! We'll welcome this new month with a blog review.

I've been reading Maugham's The Complete Short Stories for some time now. I've been taking my time with this collection, but I enjoyed it a lot. When I finish this book in its entirely, I'll share a review for all of his stories. Until then, I'll keep posting individual reviews of stories I liked the most. If you want to read Maugham yourself, you can find his collected works online (among other places  on project Gutenberg ) and read them for free.  W. Somerset Maugham is a writer whose subtle use of humour is delightful, but sometimes it's easy to miss it just because it's so subtle. He's wonderful at mixing the harsh realities of life with clever
