Last night I spent ages pouring over my sketches and photos, trying to choose what to illustrate from the day. Again there were just so many highlights!
The New Gen show was simply amazing. I could only choose one and as I am in love with Arielle Mermin's big hair, sunglasses and color pallet it had to be that. But on my to-do list is D'monic Intent's yellow and black poutama inspired dress, and Silence Was's hat hair and feminine numbers.
For me, yesterday's stand out show had to be Andrea Moore show. Her Equestrian theme was not only visually stunning but playful and elegant. I was lucky enough to go back stage and have a good look at the finer details, but this caused me untold problems in choosing what to draw! I would love to go back and capture some of the other prints, the dramatic eye make-up, the wooden and fur necklaces and THE headpiece.
Riddle Me This delivered highly too with their colored hair, A-line shapes, layered sleeves and quirky gingham. Again so many details I'd like to share, maybe I'll make my own lookbook!
Although everyone said to me the Trelise show would be stunning, I really had no idea what I was in for. LED lights sewn into fabric, amazing hair pieces, netting... My favorite moments were Cooper's Green Japanese inspired print on the bomber jacket (also on my wish list) and the textured netting covering models faces. Sigh.
During Trelise's show my tiny note pad became covered in very loose, gestural sketches. I really liked them so in the small hours of this morning decided to try something a bit different... As you'll see my Trelise illustration uses some of the pages from my visual diary to make a collaged little number.
Right, day three - bring it on!
