style stalking for INSTYLE UK

I had the privilege of working again with InStyle UK for their
November issue on this piece by fashion features editor Victoria Moss on
the occasional style cross-overs that occur in the offices of a fashion magazine.
It's inevitable that we will bump into a friend or colleague sporting
almost the same outfit, but it's how our individual style changes an item
that is the focus of Victoria's article.


This particular piece focuses on THAT pleated midi-skirt that is now
showing itself on Aussie shores, and has been a staple in the wardrobes
of a lot of British women over the last Summer.


I had so much fun working on this. I myself have a few pleated/midi skirts
sitting in my wardrobe waiting for the sun to come out so that they may too!
It's currently raining where I am so it's kind of odd to be writing about
any form of Summer trend.
But I'm off on a sunny beach holiday next week
so will be bringing those babies out to play!


InStyle UK's November issue is on sale now with the beeeeeautiful
Rosamund Pike on the cover.
(Have had a slight girl crush on her ever since I saw Pride & Prejudice!)


Happy Monday everyone - I hope you all had a great weekend!

ageless beauty for IN STYLE UK

I was asked by the lovely Adele from In Style UK
to work on this illustration of four ageless style icons
for a story on the resurgence of the more mature woman
in the fashion industry today.
You can't open a magazine without the beautiful eyes of
Claudia Schiffer, Kristen McMenamy or Helena Christensen
staring back at you, and Viv Groskop's article explores why.
But for that you'll need to pick up an copy of the April edition
with Gwyneth Paltrow on the cover!


As for the illustration we focused on these four amazing women.
From L-R:


Anna Dello Russo -
Current editor-at-large of Vogue Nippon
and one of the most adventurous dressers in the world.
If anyone knows how to have fun with fashion its Anna!
(Have to give snaps to the lovely Jenn of LeFashion for
letting me use her photograph of Anna from NYFW as inspiration!)


Elle McPherson -
Is any introduction necessary?
Arguably the most famous body in the modelling industry.
And she's STILL got it (as witnessed on the runway of Louis Vuitton!)
Flawless.


Julianne Moore -
The muse of Tom Ford and face of Bulgari.
You can always count on Julianne to bring something interesting
to a red carpet event. I absolutely adored her in this pink
Lanvin gown at the 2011 Golden Gloves.


Lauren Hutton -
Before Lara Stone, Vanessa Paradis and Georgia Jagger,
there was Lauren Hutton.
Her gap is her trademark. Truly truly stunning.


It was such an honour to be given such beautiful women to illustrate;
I had so much fun working on it.
Thanks Adele!
