Bespoke Illustration and design
Illustrating at Chanel Beauty
Earlier in 2019 I was invited to the Chanel Beauty boutiques in both Covent Garden and at St Pancras Station, London. Here I illustrated for customers to celebrate the launch of the new Rouge Coco Flash range, gorgeous bold lipsticks, which were also paired with Chanel sunglasses in store. Lots of busy customers who popped in for that pre Eurostar purchase left with their very own fashion portrait, an unexpected treat!
I illustrated some of my favourite looks for the 2019 Met Gala, which had the theme of camp. I was in love with Lily Collin’s 60’s inspired hair and make-up and Lucy Boynton’s etherial, pastel look. I especially loved the jewel detail on her eyes.
For the January 2019 issue of women’s health and lifestyle magazine, Top Santé, I was asked to create some illustrations for a feature on the beauty of bathing. A subject I can definitely get behind as I love nothing more than a nice relaxing bath, especially during winter! The article featured products and remedies from various countries, such as Japan, France and Turkey. I represented each of these within certain elements of the main image. The tiles are inspired by those seen inside Turkish bath houses, the bamboo is a nod to Japan, and of course I have drawn a beautiful french style, roll top bath. With gold taps and ornate legs, this is pretty much my ideal bath! Overall I have tried to create a sense of luxuriousness, femininity, calm and beauty within the illustrations.
