Louis Vuitton Catwalk Fashion Show Paris SS2011

For Louis Vuitton Marc Jacobs presented a collection with a disco-chic vibe.




He gave the collection a bit an oriental feeling by adding shiny Eastern-inspired designs. Gracefully tailored trousers and body hugging dresses moved like waves around the models, with sequin cummerbunds tied at the waist (or in some cases at the hip), recreating the traditional kimono silhouette.

I absolutely adore all the colours, perhaps a bit campy, but hey I like a bit of that!

Marilyn

I am alone is a book that consists
of letters, diary excerpts and poems by the late Marilyn Monroe. The book is made possible by Dutch ELLE Magazine and Meulenhoff Publishers.

Autumn Red (work in progress)

I love red hair. I dye mine red, but I so envy women with lots of beautiful red curls. This image from the latest Dutch Elle grabbed me because of the strong look and the mirrored images. I mixed two images into one.
I left the drawing sketch-like and added just a bit of watercolour (not all the way through), to give it a more playful look. I gave it a green background for an autumnal look. But I am thinking about changing the background to a pattern. But will do that some other day. 7.30 pm and I need to eat.

The Lady in Pink

Did this crayon drawing, inspired by a Marie Jo- advertorial and gave it my own twist.

Parents

This morning I did this sketch of my mother and my stepfather.
My mother looks bigger because she is closer in the picture.
I hope they like it.

Aviator

I really like sheerling lined aviator jackets.
And bowler hats!
So this picture popped out at me on Lookbook.nu. Only now I cannot find it anymore, so I cannot credit the person who took the original photograph I based my illustration on. I will as soon as I find it.
