Couture Troopers

Valentine's Day doesn't have to be just about romantic love. Share love with friends and the ones who are always there. 

Today Couture Troopers is celebrating Valentine's Day and their 2nd year anniversary with a little preview of our collaboration!  More info coming soon~!:)

"Referencing the artistic flair of Prada Spring/Summer 2014 collection, her beautiful illustration portrays the summative value of friendship and kinship as a form of platonic love, as well as the idea of romance in a fun and passionate manner." -- Couture Troopers

I had so much fun working on our collabration! Thank you and Happy Anniversary Couture Troopers~!:)

Valentines

Happy Valentine's Day! 

Background story:

This one is a little different than my usual fashion illustrations. This is one of the illustrations commissioned by JeZa Photography featuring their lovely clients. Jeremy and Zabrina are international award winning destination wedding & portrait photographers, they always capture the lovers in their most precious moments! I have been working with JeZa since last year, it's a super sweet ongoing collaboration.

For every collaboration, after sending the client's favorite picture, Zabrina would tell me about the lovely couple and the romantic history of the scenery. Every single illustration is a love story. It feels very personal and the couples' love is so contagious, you can see and feel it from the lovers' glance.

It's been a true bliss working with JeZa! The happiness and heartwarming feelings I get from the collaborations are beyond words...

The Hidden Memories – Dolce & Gabbana F/W 2013

Marcus Kan of Draw A Dot. and I decided to work on a collaboration project together. In this series, Marcus and I are going to pick some of the best F/W 2013 accessories and create scenes based on the vibe of each collection. 

"For the first illustration, we have picked the famous crown and the necklace from the Dolce & Gabbana F/W 2013 collection. The 2 accessory pieces have turned into a beautiful frame and captured the moment when the Dolce & Gabbana girl is playing with her favourite pets – the leopards. I find this illustration to be very stunning and it really captures the regalness of the lady. Also, I can see that Sunny‘s illustration skill has once again evolved as her composition skill has really blown me away with this piece."--Marcus

"This illustration was inspired by Dolce & Gabbana RTW F/W 2013 collection. I especially love this season’s outfits and they are meant to fit for a queen (a Byzantine empress). Every Dolce & Gabbana girl looks very confident, majestic, and empowered. In this piece, I wanted to portray the girl as the queen of her world.  I painted a pair of leopards to accompany her because they are very mysterious and fascinating animals. Leopards have held the court with kings and queens in myth, legend, art and literature from ancient times to this day. They feel like the perfect companions for the Dolce & Gabbana queen. I also wish to highlight the golden crowns, beautiful accessories, meticulously crafted dress that made out of mosaic beadings and crystal gems."--Sunny

I hope you enjoy looking at this illustration as much as I had fun creating it!

Wishing you a beautiful day! :)
