W Hotel VIP Lounge Sketch

Hey, friends, how are you?
Wow! The last few days have been bleeding into one.
I've seen so many friends, so many amazing collections, and also met so many amazing people.
Don't worry, detailed accounts are coming!
I mean, I have already shot 15 gigs of images and files and still have 2 days left...
Haven't had enough time to sort through all the files!
I can't wait to tell you all about Chictopia 10 (which was amazing), the IFB Conference, Charlotte Ronson, Tony Cohen, Chris Benz!
Oh, so much to tell you about.
My brother & I spent alot of time hanging out with Mattias (Bloglovin Founder), Carolina (Fashionsquad), and Camille (Childhood Flames), also my friends Ryan & Alice.

But today we decided to take it down a notch and have a laid back day of no shows, just hanging out and getting work done.
So the W Hotel was nice enough to invite us over to hang in the VIP lounge which is backstage in the tents in Bryant Park.
Which was amazing cause i've been dying going without drawing for this many days!
So i sketched this picture today!
And painted the hair with my coffee... haha

Oh, and to my amazement, when my brother and i where about to leave, guess who walked in???
Alexa Chung!!! I know, right!?
So my brother talked me in to introducing myself...
which i usually never do...(cause I'm pretty shy)
but somehow i mustered up enough courage to say hello.
And I'm so glad I did, she is truly an amazing person!
So sweet and wonderful!
She was so nice :)
It basically made my year ... It was incredible...

I will keep you posted on the rest of my time here!
Hope you're having a wonderful day.

p.s. Alexa Chung, if you read this, thank you so much for being so kind! It really means a lot! :)

The Infinity Dress

Good Afternoon, my friends! How is your day going?
Ok. So, last night, my brother and i went to a Private Showing of Donna Karan's collection at Nordstroms
with Fashiontoast.com's very own, Rumi, and her boyfriend Colin.
The night was so much fun.
It was great to finally meet Rumi & Colin; they are amazing, so nice. ;)
Well, the night started out watching Donna Karan's "System of Dressing" Video,
which was really fascinating. Going into the night, i wasn't super familiar with Donna Karan collections,
and i have to say, i was blown away! So impressed.
Her design philosophy is pretty much exactly the same as mine.
The collection's drape was pretty much flawless.
haha! Can you tell how excited i am? haha
Well, the best piece of the night, i think hands down, was her "Infinity Dress".
Basically, the dress has an endless number of looks. Seriously!
After the presentation, i was able to take pictures of the model wearing the dress,
and we played around with a handful of different looks of the Infinity Dress.
In a matter of 5 minutes, the DK team whipped out 4 different looks.
It was amazing, so i decided to draw the looks from last night.
Keep in mind, this is all the same dress.
i hope you like these sketches ;)

the Count Down

Happy Sunday night!
Well my friends, was it just me or did this weekend crank like lightning?
For some reason, i was in a clothes designing mood all weekend,
so needless to say, i have croquis scattered all over the room.
The next few days are going to be hectic.
It's the few day count down,
cause I'm flying out to Texas Wednesday!
It's going to be really fun.
I just have a lot to figure out in the next few days.

The Drawing today is of Lily Cole From my Character Sketchbook.
I hope you like it! :)
