Live Illustration at Loro Piana Made to Order Shoe Launch Event

FullSizeRender.jpeg

I was invited recently to illustrate for Loro Piana when they launched their exclusive Made To Order Shoes in Singapore. Customers each received a unique art piece featuring their personalised pair of shoes set in one of three scenarios to depict how these iconic shoes are both stylish and versatile, be it in a bustling city, a balmy seaside or an idyllic countryside.

It was such a pleasure to draw and paint the exact same pair of shoes that will be made exclusively and personalised for their customers. Just the perfect little gift for them to take home in anticipation of their perfect pair of shoes to be made in Italy and be ready in 6 to 8 weeks‘ time.

Personalised Monograms at MCM Private Event

20190917_195539.jpeg

I had as much fun Live Monogramming at the MCM flagship store as my usual live fashion illustration.

By the way, did you know that MCMwas initially named after Michael Cromer who founded and  launched the brand in Munich. It was later on when it was acquired by Korean entrepreneur Sung-Joo Kim, then it was renamed Mode Creation Munich. It doesn’t really matter I guess, as MCM still stands for luxury travel goods that embodies the bold, irreverent and aspirational for many of its fans.

Would you have guessed that these leather bag tags and cotton totes were all hand painted freehand and without using any stencils? I had actually brought along a ruler and masking tapes but found that I didn’t need them after all.

Live Fashion Portraits for Piaget

Always a delight to be drawing again for Piaget's guests as they viewed and tried on the watches which was generously donated for an auction at the Singapore Red Cross Benefit Gala in October. Swipe to see more of the portraits drawn live during the event as well as the 2 gorgeous timepieces being donated - the Limelight tonneau-shaped Full Diamond Watch and the Piaget Gouverneur watch.

Live Fashion Illustration for Club21

Spent two lovely weekend afternoons drawing for some fabulous ladies for Club21. The best part is that they were dressed in looks from some of my favourite designers. 

From the sleek minimalism of Jil Sander or the fluid elegance of Stella McCartney to the easy sophisticated looks of 3.1 Phillip Lim and Marni’s quirky clash of prints, I love drawing them all! So thank you, Club21 , for having me at your event to capture all these incredible looks in my illustrations.

Window Illustration for Marni

20190725_160108.jpeg

I had thought that drawing live on the front window of the Marni store would probably be one of the most daunting things I would have to do. But I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t at all but instead had enjoyed the entire process tremendously. Despite the fact that it was all done within the span of 5 days - from conceptualising to execution! Yes, it was all a whirlwind! I got the ok to proceed in the morning and I was down at the store drawing by mid afternoon to draw my first 2 girls!

The window illustration was inspired by Marni’s Pre-Fall 2019 Collection featuring their signature experimental mix of prints and shapes. 

Huge thanks to the amazing Club21 team for trusting me with my ideas and especially for the cool timelapse clip.

Live Fashion Portraits at Chopard’s Private Event

Always a pleasure drawing the guests of one of my favourite clients. Other than doing what I love most, drawing, at these live Illustration sessions, , I always look forward to the interesting conversations with the people I meet. I am quite capable of drawing and painting and my eyes on the paper in front of me at the same time while still having a chat about fashion and art (of course!), music, travel and even C-dramas. Anything, as long as it is not politics and finance!
