PALM SPRINGS, CA.. JUST THE OTHER DAY..I WITNESSED THIS FIRSTHAND BUT ITS STILL A MYSTERY TO ME. WAS IT THE LOOSE WIRES THAT DAY THAT CAUSED HER TO GROW? OR WAS IT THE MAGIC OF HER PROENZA SCHOULER SPRING 2011 LOOK THAT DREW ALL OF THE ELECTRICITY? I INCLUDED THE RUNWAY SNAPSHOT OF WHAT SHE WAS WEARING AT THE TIME IN CASE YOU DIDNT BELIEVE ME.
THIS PIECE PRADA BANANAS WAS ORIGINALLY CREATED FOR AN ART CONTEST ON SEAOFSHOES.COM. I WAS SO INSPIRED BY THE SPRING 2011 PRADA COLLECTION ESPECIALLY THE SKETCHED NATURE OF THE PRINTS. SO I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUNNY TO DRAW A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS. A WOMAN WHO LOVED HER PRADA SO MUCH SHE WOULD RISK WEARING A BANANA PRINT IN THE JUNGLE. I STARTED OUT WITH SOME VINTAGE 40’S COMICS AND PUT THE WHOLE CONCEPT TOGETHER. THE FINAL WINK I ADDED WAS TAKING ONE THE AMAZING COLOR-BLOCKED FOX STOLES AND USING THAT AS THE COLOR STORY FOR MY GORILLA. ENJOY! BELOW I INCLUDED TO RUNWAY SOURCE PHOTOS
THIS POST IS THE FIRST OF A SERIES ON THE SPRING 2011 COLLECTIONS. MANY OF MY UPCOMING ILLUSTRATIONS ARE VERY HIGH CONCEPT BUT FOR THIS ONE I WANTED IN YOUR FACE FASHION. I INCLUDED THE SOURCE PHOTO BELOW. STAYED TUNED FOR MORE……..
ANOTHER THROWBACK FROM THE SPRING 2002 SEASON. I WANTED TO ILLUSTRATE DONATELLAS REALLY STRONG COLLECTION THAT SEASON. I CANT SEEM TO RECALL WHY I CHOSE THIS PARTICULAR SETTING BUT I THINK IT WAS SOMETHING ABOUT WANTING TO PLACE A SPRING LOOK IN A FALL SETTING AND THEN FOR THE COLOR CHOICES I THOUGHT MAKING IT TECHNICOLOR WOULD MAKE IT MORE VERSACE.
