FASHION ILLUSTRATIONS: GREEN DRESSES FROM VALENTINO'S SPRING AND SUMMER 2020 RTW COLLECTION

Hello dear readers or fellow bloggers. You know, just the other day fellow blogger Pablo asked me whether I had seen the latest Valentino's collection. The funny thing is that I was actually thinking about illustrating some of recent Valentino designs at the time and I finally found the time. Pierpaolo Piccioli has been doing great as a creative director of Valentino and I simply love the direction he's been heading in for the last few years. Today I'll show you some of my new fashion illustrations and sketches inspired by what the brand Valentino showed us on runaways, more precisely their Spring and Summer 2020 collection. I also illustrated some of the looks from their 2019 Spring and Summer collection. You can see them here and here.  If I manage to find the time for it, I might make more Valentino themed illustrations. Scroll down to see more and leave me a comment.

COLOURED PENCILS ON MIXED MEDIA PAPER- ILLUSTRATING A SHORT GREEN DRESS
Bellow you can see two fashion drawings I did, both of them using coloured pencils of no particular brands (literally some old no name pencils). I used a green and a yellow marker for the finishing touches.  One of my fashion illustration shows the green dress and the whole look, while the other focuses more on a close up. I love how they went with a natural look for this model. I can't tell if she is wearing any make up at all. She probably is (at least some foundation) but it looks so natural, you cannot see it. Anyhow, the model looks absolutely beautiful in this short neon green dress. I'm not too crazy about the bags in this collection (they are just ok nothing special) but I do like that the models are wearing  flat sandals. It gives the whole collection a summery feeling. In retrospective, I'd say this collection has been influential. The collection was dominated by white, but as you can see here, there were also some bold coloured looks. I've definitely seen a lot of green around.

ACRYLIC PAINTS ON MIXED MEDIA PAPER - ILLUSTRATING A LONG GREEN DRESS
This fashion illustration was a lot more time consuming then the previous two. More consuming that the two of them together. This gorgeous green gown is anything but easy to illustrate. I used acrylic paints to illustrate this beautiful Valentino gown. It took me ages to finish it.  You don't see acrylic paints used often in fashion illustration, but I personally enjoy  using them.

How's life been treating you? Both husband and I are sick and down with a cold, so I haven't been venturing out at all. Just staying at home, cooking, cleaning, reading and illustrating. Thank you for stopping by. Take care and stay safe.

    What beautiful dresses! I love the maxi one and I like the deeper green you painted more than the original green on the runway! You did it so well :)

    Sorry to hear you have been unwell - hope it is just a cold (here with colds we have to be tested, it's not fun but at least we know it's just a cold!) and that you recover quickly!

    Hello Ivana, hope you had a nice weekend!

    First of all thank you so much for mentioning me and for reading my comment, it made me so happy to see my name in today's blog post and it is curious that our minds were connected with these concepts by Valentino right?! :D Thanks for always reading me!

    And know talking about the collection I love that Valentino is one of those fashion houses that are the common classic place but they are always looking for new ways to explore art, fashion, culture and the way we connect with beauty, all of this exploring technology. I love this green dress because is one of those fashion pieces that shines just by itself and the work behind this dress is stunning.... your illustration is the best way to show the expression and the aura of this piece: the pledges, the model and the way green changes of tones!

    Great work as usual my friend! Let me know if you find something interesting to illustrate in the haute couture collection!

    Pablo

    Valentino has my number with those gorgeous greens! I love seeing how you build the illustrations - that you're not just doing the dress + limbs, but are actually building them from the body out. Well done!

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

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

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

Image
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.

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

Image
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

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. In this post, I'll share my review for Maugham's short story titled T he Ant and the Grasshopper . This post will also be  a reading recommendation because I enjoyed this story a great deal. 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

FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY WATERCOLOUR: LONG DRESSES AND DE PROFUNDIS QUOTES!

 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. After a period of not posting my art at all, due to a variety of reasons, I started posting my art in every post. 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
