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 ...

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

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 ...

Image
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...
