a little place to call my own (art and fashion blog)

Time for another fashion illustration. Today we have a Croatian designer on agenda and her name is Matija Vuica. She was already featured on my blog here . Known primarily for her bold and dramatic designs, Vuica's been present on Croatian fashion scene for more than three decades. Here I illustrated a pink dress of hers, as worn by Croatian singer Nina Badrich. The medium is coloured pencils on paper. Vrijeme je za još jednu modnu ilustraciju. Danas je na rasporedu hrvatska dizajnerica, naša Matija Vuica. Ona se već pojavila na blogu ovdje . Poznata najviše po svojim hrabrim i dramatičnim kreacijama, Vuica je prisutna na hrvatskoj modnoj sceni već više od tri desetljeća. Ovdje sam ilustrirala njenu rozu haljinu kako ju je nosila hrvatska pjevačica Nina Badrić.  Medij su bojice na papiru.  Osnovne informacije o Nini Badrić preuzete s Wikipedije:  Nina Badrić,   hrvatska je pop pjevačica i višestruka osvajačica nagrade...

Hello, in this post I'll share a designer fashion illustration. I know what you're thinking. It's Summer, how can you think about coats? Well, I can. The sweat is literally dripping down by forehead, but I'm going to share an illustration inspired by Diane Von Furstenberg's 2018 Resort collection. It is always good to look forward to something, right? I'm pretty sure that a lot of ladies are looking forward to this collection hitting the stores this November. What I personally find so irresistible about it are- the colours. I'm very keen on bold colours and patterns, so no wonder this collection caught my eye. Znam što mislite. Ljeto je, kako možeš razmišljati o kaputima? Jednostavno mogu. Znoj mi kapa niz čelo, ali ipak ću podijelit modnu ilustraciju nadahnutu kolekcijom Diane Von Furstenberg za 2018. godinu. Sigurna sam da će se puno dama razveseliti kada ova kolekcija stigne u trgovine u studenom. Ono što je meni osobno tako neodoljivo kod ove kolekci...

To be completely honest,  until recently I had no idea who Prabal Garun was. It is quite possible that I saw his designs before (because he is favoured by many celebs and all that), but I haven't put the name and the dress together- if you know what I mean.  However, when I saw his Resort Collection featured in British Vogue, I just fall in love. This collection is so feminine and chic, but at the same time simple, timeless and non pretentious. All the designs from this collection look very sophisticated. Long story short, I loved it so much I had to do at least one illustration. The medium is pencil again, (or to be more precise it's colour pencils) on paper. Da budem posve iskrena, do prije neki dan nisam imala pojma tko je Prabal Garun. Sasvim je moguće da sam vidjela njegove kreacije prije (jer ga zvijezde često nose i tako to), ali nekako nisam spojila ime i haljinu, ako znate na što mislim. No, kada sam vidjela njegovu Resort kolekciju za 2018 u Britanskom Vogue-u, ...
