Corset and Drapes, all in one.




I woke up this morning, feeling no such interest to study, so I lazily plopped myself on the bed, and pulled out one of the Vogues (December 2010 issue) from the huge pile sitting on the bedside table and begin to scan through the pages. On on page, was various styles right from the 50's to the 80's. In the 50's style, was a picture of Louis Vuitton creations, full skirts, corseted bodice and midis. Hence, the corset top :D Then, I thought I'd add a little punch to it, and give it some really delicate drapes on the skirt with an aqua marine satin fabric.
What makes this different from the rest is that, I spent more time on the detailing with pencils, rather than spoiling it with microtips. ALSO, I drew a FACE on this one :) Not THAT bad, is it? ;)

The Saree - A symbol of Feminism and Flamboyance


The Saree, for those who don't know what it is, originates from India. It is a long piece of fabric filled with intricate designs and workmanship draped in the most elegant way possible. My first Saree, and the first time I've had enough patience to sit and design the WHOLE thing.

Mr. and Ms. Prim & Proper


Vacationing in the country house at the Hamptons, are we?
Presenting the first "couple sketch".Inspired by Gossip Girl, the girl represents none other than the Queen B herself, Blair Waldorf, playing it safe, in a box-pleated skirt, a white blouse and a Cashmere sweater vest with pearl accessories and ballet flats. The guy,is my representation of one like Nate Archibald. Metrosexual, classy and the perfect gentleman, in beige pants- perfectly creased, well-polished Italian leather shoes, a crisp white shirt, teamed with a blue sweater vest and an expensive watch.
Oooh. and I LOVE these two :')
They were my inspiration
