style stalking for INSTYLE UK

Labels:

rosamund pike

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!

Literally just saw this cover and nearly died.

I'm speechless.

I adore Kirsten Dunst, I adore ELLE UK,

and this subscriber cover for the September 2011 issue

is just about the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

I just wanted to post it so I can look at it every time I need to update my blog.

It's just so Kirsten - and also so reminiscent of Luxe in The Virgin Suicides.

Stunning.

couture REVIVAL

Labels:

the hub

One of the jobs I worked on earlier this year that I was most excited about

was a series of illustrations for UK magazine The Hub.

I got to illustrate several of my absolute favourite collections,

including Chanel S/S 10, Alexander McQueen S/S 11 and

THAT pearl encrusted Givenchy that Natasha Poly wore

in the S/S 11 collection.

I have to say, this was one of my favourite jobs ever - purely because

I got to draw something that I love so much.

It's literally mixing business with pleasure!

Not to mention the fact that this issue of The Hub is pretty damn amazing.

It features one of my FAVOURITE illustrators of all time,

David Downton (who also did the cover illustration),

Christian Louboutin, Anna Dello Russo, David Bowie, Miuccia Prada.

Marc Jacobs, and more illustration work from Cecilia Carlstedt

(another of my all time faves!)

To view a behind-the-scenes vid from The Hub's 'Renaissance' shoot

click here - it's too beautiful to miss.

I hope you're enjoying the long weekend.

I'm sorry for being so quiet around here lately.

Things have been a bit hectic since I got back from my trip.

But lots to share over the coming weeks and months!

Carey Mulligan photographed by Mikael Jansson

Sorry for the lack of posts last week.

I've been away for a few days!

So I wanted to share these pics with you for the longest time.

For those who have not seen An Education yet, please please do so!

I think it was one of my favourite films of award season.

So visually beautiful in its 60s aesthetic, and Carey Mulligan

gives such a ripping performance. I was totally smitten with her.

While i'm not completely in love with her Mia Farrow style crop,

I am absolutely besotted with this photo shoot

and it actually looks perfection in it.

I picked up this issue of Interview

(for which the shots were taken)

and it reminded me I needed to post it!

Interview print the best celebrity portraits in my opinion.

Tied with New York Times' T Style.

I've posted a number of their shoots on my blog.

Recurring theme i'm noticing!

Marion Cotillard is featured on the August cover so I feel

I may be posting those images as well :)

Mikael Jansson is a genius!

Hope you love Carey's shoot much as I do.

I was so in love with this cover of Jalouse when I saw it that I had to draw it.

And....that very awkwardly rhymes.

But anyway! I've been working away at this since the weekend

so it's nice to have it all finished. I'm not used to shading in

so much dark area - definitely made for a very tired hand.

That text was an absolute pain in the A but I think it worked out

alright in the end I guess - could definitely be better but oh well.

Word to the wise...it's easier to do black text in white space than the reversal!

Hope you like!

I had so much fun doing the Vogue and Dazed covers, so I thought 'Why not?'

Here are some more pics from Mason Poole's

photoshoot because I absolutely LOVE it.

The styling is the perfect mix between cute and edgy.

Sort of Heidi-Cool if you will.

UPDATE to include the video from the photoshoot.

dazed decade DRAWN OUT

This is my entry into Dazed & Confused's

'Decade Drawn Out' competition:

Kate Moss photographed by Venetia Scott

for Dazed & Confused May 2007

Pencil & Watercolour

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

THE BRIEF

Dazed staffers chose 10 of their best/fave covers from the decade,

and called out to all illustrators to have a go at recreating

one (or all) of them, in their own individual style.

The only catch was that it had to be entirely illustrated.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Clearly I was going to choose the Kate Moss cover!

I'm sure you can imagine the squeal that escaped from me

upon reading about this little project:

Magazines, Mossy and Illustration.

HELLO!

There are SO many amazing entries though!

From Beth Ditto to Michael Jackson to Donnie Darko.

There's a cover star to suit everyone - and just as many

illustrative styles to go with them!

These two are my faves:

Sandra Suy & Sumeragi Subaru

The winning illustrator, as chosen by Dazed, will be commissioned

to create something for an upcoming issue.

My fingers are most definitely crossed, but I won't be holding my breath!

Although, if you don't mind crossing your fingers for me too, then please do :)

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to contribute to Dazed!

Check out more here:

Dazed Digital 'A Decade Drawn Out'

P.S The 'Dazed' logo went a bit mad - I cut a stencil out of paper and then

dabbed watercolour in it, but it came out kind of leaky and messy.

But I think I kind of like it? Weird for me I know!

The 'Confused' bit was too tiny to cut out - so that's a regular digital stencil.

ooo baby I LIKE YOUR STYLE

Labels:

About Me.

celebrity style

Diane Kruger

fashion

Magazines

Marion Cotillard

NW

random

NW Magazine asked me to answer a few style questions
as part of their relaunch.
So here they are:

What is the most worn item of clothing in your wardrobe?
I have worn this black Country Road basics dress of mine
about a MILLION times in the 2 years since I bought it.
I'm not one to have a closet full of clothes, I like to mix and match
accessories with basic outfits. So I have alot of bags, shoes, and jewellery.

It’s Oscar night and you can be dressed by any designer, who would you choose?
Ooo I think I would definitely like some vintage Dior Couture!
Or Chanel. Anything appropriately Chanel.
But i'm very into Couture on the red carpet!
Bring back the big structured gowns I say - we can't always rely on
Sarah Jessica Parker, Charlize Theron and Marion Cotillard to attend
the Oscars EVERY YEAR so some of these other girls better step it up!

What trend are you tired of?
Grunge! I was never into it.
You can be edgy without looking dirty.

If you could give any celebrity a makeover, who would it be?
Kate Winslet always frustrates me because I absolutely LOVE her
but she always looks about 10 years older on the red carpet.
I know fashion isn't everyone's thing - and I have no problem with that,
but i'm sure she has a stylist, and that stylist should be encouraging her
to dress her own age and have a little fun with it!

Who is your celebrity style icon and why?
Hands down, inside out, Diane Kruger.
I think she probably has the most fun with fashion
out of anyone else in Hollywood.
But she's not afraid to experiment and she doesn't have a stylist!

I also equally ADORE Marion Cotillard.
She is just a goddess.
A sublimely talented actress who is actually relevant to
the fashion industry and can always be relied upon to bring
a touch of Frenchy chic to any red carpet!

But let it be known that choosing my favourite celebrity style is like
choosing my favourite child (Well, I imagine it would be if I actually had any.)
About 90% of my illustration inspiration comes from celebrity style as it
combines my two great loves, movies and fashion.
To name a couple I love - Sienna Miller, The Olsens, Chloe Sevigny,
Alexa Chung, Gwynnie, Kirsten Dunst and The Kates (Mossy & Bosworth)

Enjoy your weekend everybody!

Shop Til You Drop

I just realised that I never really went into detail

about the monthly illustrations i've been working on

for Aussie mag, Shop 'Til You Drop.

Those of you who read my blog are most likely familiar

with the lovely miss Annabel of LoveMore, who, coincidently,

happens to be one of my gal pals and the model for these illustrations.

You may have already recognised her or seen the scans

she posted up on her blog today!

I asked Bel to pose for me because A) I love her look,

B) She knows how to work an outfit,

and C) She gets just as enthusiastic about these ideas as I do!

So if you haven't already seen the illos in the mag,

pick up a copy of the December issue of Shop,

(with Hermoine herself, Miss Emma Watson, on the cover)

and flick to page 148 for Bel in all her glory!

(And a gorgeous Don't Ask Amanda jumpsuit!)

I've also posted the past illos here & here:

(Or check out LoveMore for the scans)

Happy Friday everyone!

Enjoy your weekends.

Vogue Australia December 2009
Abbie Cornish photographed by Max Doyle

I just DIED and went to HEAVEN.
Abbie, I love you.
Vogue Australia, I love you even MORE.

For those who can't understand why this makes me so happy;
Vogue Australia's editor Kirstie Clements has very firm views on
the whole 'celebrity-cover' phenomenon - in that:
'Celebrity Cover - she's just not that into you.'

Very rarely, and only under special circumstances, will she
put an actress on the cover of her magazine.
Abbie is one very said special circumstance.
THANK YOU Kirstie!

I can't wait to see the editorial!
Vogue Australia goes on sale tomorrow.
