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!

All your comments mean a lot to me, even the criticism. Naravno da mi puno znači što ste uzeli vrijeme da nešto napišete, pa makar to bila i kritika. Per me le vostre parole sono sempre preziose anche quando si tratta di critiche.

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 ...

KRAVICE WATERFALLS (TOP DESTINATIONS IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA) / Slapovi Kravice

KRAVICA WATERFALL I will never forget visiting Kravice waterfalls for the first time. It was an absolutely magical experience.  The Kravica waterfall is sometimes described as a pearl of Herzegovina. It's also called oasis in stone. One can think of many names for it, but the best thing is to go there and see for itself. It's definitely one of the great beautifies of the Herzegovinian landscape. Where can you find this stunning natural waterfall? It's located on the Trebizat River, 7 km away from Ljubuski.  This place of beauty was created by the Trebizat River!

Maxi dress (outfit post) / Duga haljina (odjevna objava)

Image
What says summer more than a maxi dress? You might have another clothing item in mind, but there is no disputing the fact that a nice summer maxi dress is one of the most practical choices when the days get warmer. Besides offering protection from the sun, a good summer maxi dress is easy to layer (and hence to dress up and down) and serves like an infusion of style and effortless chic. In other words.....What is there not to love?  Što više kaže ljeto od duge haljine? Možda imate neki drugi odjevni predmet na pameti, ali ne može se osporiti da je lijepa ljetna duga haljina jedan od najpraktičnijih izbora kada dana postanu topliji. Osim što nam nudi zaštitu od sunca, dobra ljetna haljina se lako nadograđuje (i nosi u dotjeranim i ležernim kombinacijama), a služi kao prava infuzija stila i onog dojma da se niste trudili. Drugim riječima....Što tu ne voljeti? shoes, dress: no name, bag: borsa, shirt:vintage Have you found your ideal summer dress yet? I got t...

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

Image
 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 ...

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...
