FOXY LADY

Today's illustration was inspired by Jean-Charles De Castelbajac Fall 2013 RTW collection. 

For me, this collection is a love at first sight!  As always, his collection is a running commentary about his world view, fashion. “Our world is at the cusp of something, like in the days of the pre-Raphaelites when the train was being invented. Poetry has become obsolete, but I want it to be a weapon.”The theme for this collection is Foxy Lady. "His 'Foxy Lady' is a redheaded firebrand who spearheads this revolution of words. The poetry of her gestures is an act of rebellion, like her coral slicked upper lip, the bottom half remaining nude."--NowfashionIt's a very whimsical and utterly wearable collection. It consists of a series of cozy blanket coats, plaid blanket separates, printed separates and dresses inspired by pre-Raphaelite art.

WEDNESDAY ILLUSTRATION: JUNYA WATANABE FALL 2013 RTW

Today's illustration was inspired by Junya Watanabe Fall 2013 RTW collection. 
It's a very playful and fun collection. Watanabe artfully pieced together different materials like leather, denim and tartan for the moto coats and dresses. 
I love the combination of the models' bird's-nest wigs with Perfecto-style jackets, punk patchwork denim jeans and colorful high heels!

WEDNESDAY ILLUSTRATION: DELPOZO FALL 2013 RTW

Today's illustration was inspired by Delpozo Fall 2013 RTW collection.
This season, Madrid-based label Delpozo made an impressive New York fashion week debut, bringing with it a fresh design sensibility."Creative director Josep Font merged two disparate ideas — organic architecture and the femininity of the Victorian era — into a lineup of beautiful dresses, jackets and tops with a focus on volume and sculpting around the shoulders and hips, while still maintaining waist definition."--wwd.com The Delpozo girls looked very feminine and modern in their beautifully crafted designs.

Today's illustration was inspired by Monique Lhuillier Fall 2013 RTW collection.
"This season, Lhuillier found inspiration in a piece of malachite. The gemstone's deep green striations appeared at the end of the runway as the show opened with a series of winter white looks. 'It's kind of like stepping into heaven a little bit,' said Lhuillier."--style.com
My favorites of this collection are the stunning lace gowns, each design was so beautifully designed and artfully decorated in sequins and Baroque beading.

WEDNESDAY ILLUSTRATION:CHRISTIAN DIOR SPRING 2013 RTW

Today's illustration is inspired by Christian Dior SS 2013 RTW collection. 
"According to the show notes—and Raf's own words—the key descriptor for this new era at Dior is "freedom." But freedom from all restraint ultimately leads to the excess of self-destruction. What we saw today, by contrast, suggested an appreciation of the power of limits."--style.com
I especially love the iridescent balloon floral-printed skirts and those shiny stilettos!

WEDNESDAY ILLUSTRATION: ‏LOUIS VUITTON FALL 2012 RTW | MIERCOLES ILUSTRACIÓN‏

Today's illustration is inspired by Louis Vuitton Fall 2012 RTW collection. This collection features high-waisted silhouettes, towering hats, ornate buttons and echoes of the famous Vuitton checkerboard pattern that has been used on luggage since 1888. All the beautiful hues of the season were represented, camels, deep and browns, greys, plums, blood reds, burnt oranges, jet blacks, deep inky blues.
The show began with a beautiful handmade steam engine pulling into a set in a courtyard of the Louvre, which had been transformed into an old train station. Then one by one, the models de-boarded wearing outfits straight out of the golden age of railroading, followed by porters carrying as many as three bags per girl. Personally I think it's one of the most impressive show in the season, click here to watch the video.

La Ilustración de hoy está inspirada por la colección de Louis Vuitton Otoño 2012 RTW. Esta colección presenta siluetas de talle alto, sombreros altos, botones ornamentales y ecos del tablero de ajedrez famosos de Vuitton que se ha utilizado en el equipaje desde 1888. Todos los colores hermosos de la temporada estuvieron representados, camellos, profundos y marrones, grises, rojos, ciruelas, naranjas quemados sangre, negros chorros azules, profundos negros como la tinta.
El espectáculo comenzó con un motor de vapor hermoso hecho a mano que tira en un conjunto en un patio del Louvre, que se había transformado en una antigua estación de tren. Luego, uno por uno, los modelos de-vistiendo trajes abordaron directamente de la edad de oro de ferrocarriles, seguidos por los porteros que llevan hasta tres bolsas por chica. Personalmente creo que es uno de los espectáculos más impresionantes de la temporada, haz click aquí para ver el vídeo.
