FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY (D&G SPRING SUMMER 2021 COLLECTION- PART 1)

Hello dear readers and/or fellow bloggers! Today I'm back with some new fashion illustrations. I'm going to share with you one fashion sketch of  a red dress from D&G collection as well as some digital sketches based on that one sketch. The medium for my drawing is coloured pencils on paper. Digital art sketches were made with Paint 3D.  This post will be more visual than verbal and it won't be very long. Scroll down to read and see more.

THE RED AND THE PINK DRESS FROM D&G SPRING READY TO WEAR 2021 DRSS 

 The new D&G collection has some really pretty runaway looks. This time I focused on a red and pink dress from this collection, but there are some other looks that were stunning as well. The patchwork outfits from this collection were quite stunning. In fact, I illustrated some other runaway looks from this collection and I plan to share them soon as well.

    I love D&G's looks, but they are problematic in the fashion community due to alleged racism (CNN article here: https://www.cnn.com/style/article/dolce-gabbana-shanghai-controversy/index.html - they seem to be getting a bit shunned in the fashion press. It's hard to separate the art from the artist, at times.

    I adore your paintings here, Ivana. The colours are lovely, and I can tell you were inspired by the flowiness of the fabric!

    Have a wonderful weekend, my friend!

      Yes, I remember that D&G incident, it is hard to believe that ad was made with an intention of being offensive towards the Chinese as D&G were just planning to expand on Chinese market so being purposely offensive wouldn't make sense. What was all that about I have no idea. Maybe trying to draw attention? Who knows? D&G have a history of using bad PR teams and Ads for sure. I know that the responsibility ultimately lies on the CEOs of the company, but I have to wonder- who are those people and agencies working in fashion PR and how do they come end up with horrible editorials, ads and commercials? D&G are not an exception in this sense, most designers have had 'incidents' and I can think of a hundred examples of really problematic PR and Ads, not just in the far past, but in the last few years. I don't know enough about how the whole advertisement agencies work, but there are definitely some fishy things in modern advertising. That is why I prefer to just watch the raw runaway footage and tend to ignore fashion magazines and portals where one comes across all kind of crazy and problematic editorials and ads.

    You've captured the fluidity of the material excellently and the way it hangs against the body at the hem beautifully. It looks a really gorgeous dress! I'd defo wear the red one! Maybe not the pink!x

    Those oversized rose chokers are slaying me with their dreamy, romantic beauty. I can already feel my craft supplies beckoning me to whip up one inspired by D&G's beautiful offerings.

      I actually made similar chockers in the past, I wonder should I do it again.

    You illustrated both dresses magnificently, Ivana. Like Autumn, I love the chokers, which add a quirky element to the elegance of the dresses. xxx

      The chockers are pretty cool. I actually used to make these kind of chockers when I was a teenager. I would buy artificial flowers and use them to make chokers.

    The pink and red dresses are both standouts from the collection and your versions of them are really nicely done. You did a great job capturing the fluidity of them.

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 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. Learn how to stay away from the big shoppin

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

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

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

Image
 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

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

Image
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
