moschino ANTOINETTE

March 03, 2020 by Kelly Smith in FASHION, ILLUSTRATION

The second I laid eyes on the looks from Moschino’s F/W ‘20 collection in Milan, I knew I HAD to stop whatever toddler-based activity or snack I was making and draw one of them!
Taking inspiration from Marie Antionette and the court of Versailles, each girl was a resplendent rococo confection walking down the runway - hair in the sky!
Cop the full show HERE. The coquettish sass of each girl is the stuff of dreams.
I was so torn between Birgit Kos in her pink bow and Gigi Hadid in a coat woven from roses - but you know the florals won out! Forever have my heart.
Hope you like my take on Miss Hadid.

Fingers crossed I find a minute to get inspired by the Paris collections!

PRADA BEAUTY

April 17, 2018 by Kelly Smith in ILLUSTRATION, FASHION, BEAUTY

I've long followed the make-up legend that is Pat McGrath on Instagram, marvelling with stars in my eyes over her delectably inventive beauty looks for various design houses - be it during any given fashion week, or the editorial pages of a magazine.

One particular show captured my imagination during the Fall/Winter RTW showings - namely Prada - which saw beautiful tweed Winter coats breezing down the runway, paired with rubber boots, shockingly bright neon bows tied in tulle and brilliantly shiny diamanté cat eyes. It was a collection of beautifully ethereal, wet-haired aliens and I loved it!

I couldn't decide on any one look in particular as each girl varied wildly between outfit and beauty looks. So I combined my favourites to create the ultimate Prada girl!

I hope you like.
