FASHION ILLUSTRATION SUNDAY: CASABLANCA FALL 2022 READY-TO-WEAR COLLECTION

 Hello readers! Thank you for your comments on my last fashion illustration post. Since you liked my rendering of look 3 from Casablanca Ready-to-Wear Fall 2022 collection, you might be happy to learn that I decided to illustrate another look from this collection. Moreover, I illustrated it in the same elongated style (and on the same page in my sketchbook).  This time I opted for the fifth look (7/71) consisting from a matching (white/red/blue) bomber jacket and a mini skirt. The colour palette for this design look echoes the national (and flag) colours of many a European country. France's flag is blue, white and red. As this is a French brand, this colour palette might be more than a coincidence. I'm a lover of colour in general but this combination of colours is especially appealing. I particularly enjoy the bright tonalities of red and blue, for example Ferrari red and sky blue. Plus, it's nice to see so much white in a Fall collection. If you remember my last illustrated look (third look from the collection), it was also a vibrant mix of white, red and blue shades.  Another thing these two illustrated outfits have in common is that I'm getting retro vibes from both of them. Scroll down to see and read more.




I took my time with this illustration. How much time? I didn't time myself but I spent a bit more time than usual sketching this look. Maybe an hour in total. I remember I worked on shadows and details. I enjoyed illustrating the shadow belonging to the blue bag.  It was definitely a fun outfit to illustrate. My husband really liked how this fashion illustration turned out. He told me I should frame it. Who knows, maybe I will.  I do enjoy doing this kind of artistic fashion illustration. Ever since I started doing fashion illustration as a kid (so a few decades ago!) I was always attracted to a more artistic rendering of clothes. Another thing I always wanted to do is to have my own style when it came to fashion illustration.

MAKING OF A WATERCOLOUR PENCIL FASHION ILLUSTRATION
Bellow you can see the process of making this Casablanca look five  (from Autumn/ Fall 2022 TRW collection) fashion illustration, from sketching to painting. You might also notice that I drew this one next to another Casablanca fashion illustration (look 3) that I showed you in my last post. 




REFERENCE USED FROM VOGUE- CASABLANCA FALL 2022 COLLECTION

It seems this brand is focused on sport aesthetic, on their page is is written that 'Casablanca is a modern reimagining of the timeless apres-sport aesthetic". I cannot say that I dress 'sporty' on everyday basis (when do I ever dress sporty?) yet something about this collection caught my eye (otherwise I wouldn't decide to illustrate it). I think it's mostly the combination of immaculate tailoring and an attractive colour palette. Isn't it amazing how tailoring can make even sporty items look couture? 
As, I explained, I'm not very familiar with Casablanca brand. This is what I managed to find about this brand online: "Casablanca comes to life in a palette that simultaneously evokes the clay courts of Stade Roland Garros and the sunbaked terracotta of North Africa; accented with fresh tennis whites and pops of pastel. Sportswear inspired silhouettes are refined but relaxed, and presented in crisp cotton and plush terrycloth. Casablanca’s aesthetic is a fusion between lux and leisurewear, a perfect equilibrium of comfort and elegance. Casablanca re-interprets timeless environments of a luxurious heritage hotel suite or a crisp glass of champagne at a private country club terrace sunset. By adding a vivacity of colour keeps the brand youthful and easily inserted into a plethora of daily living. Applying Neapolitan tailoring techniques to tennis inspired statement pieces. Casablanca offers pieces for wearing when the days exertions are done, but the night has not yet begun. Those magical hours, marked by their sense of ease and heady anticipation, can be the most decadent part of the day. It’s a combination that belies the rich dual heritage of Casablanca’s French-Moroccan founder, Charaf Tajer." * quoted from Casablanca



Before we wrap this post up, here are two more photographs of these two fashion illustrations. How do you like them? Do you have a favourite? Would you wear something like this?

      Thank you Vix. It made me think of the same thing. When I was a flight attendant we wore a bright red uniform that was a bit similar to this (but with a blazer instead of a bomber jacket).

    That is very cool - these really have a 70s vibe about them, picking up the Mod influences from the 60s.

    Wishing you a good week ahead, Ivana!

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

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

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.

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

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
