Inspiration: Ada Zanditon

I thought I'd write a blog post about the wonderful ethical fashion designer Ada Zanditon. Her work is structural, bold and colourful. It is truly inspiring!

I love that her work is so high fashion, yet so environmentally friendly, it is something she has always tried to emphasise and the fact she is so committed is wonderful. She knew she wanted to be a fashion designer from the age of six, and after numerous internships, launched her own label in 2008. I can't believe how well she is doing after such a small amount of time - she has an amazing future ahead!

Such stunning pieces I'm sure you'll agree! Fashion design is not the only talent of this inspirational lady, she is also a very talented illustrator! Take a look at some of her images:

 
Her illustrations also include a lot of the colour, shape and texture that can be found in her fashion designs - stunning! Don't forget to check her work out, you won't be disappointed! I did a short interview with her recently, the results of which I will be sharing soon, so keep an eye out! :)

Ada Zanditon Illustrations!

I was absolutely ecstatic to be able to do more illustrations of Ada Zanditon's clothing! Having already illustrated some of her previous collections for Amelia's competition, I knew i'd enjoy doing more.

This time the illustrations were for a London Fashion Week review in Amelia's magazine. 

You can see these in the review here. I'm really happy with how these came out, the clothes were just wonderful to draw!! Be sure to check out the other reviews while you're there, there are some beautiful designers and illustrations!

Before coming up with these final images (that included the sculptures from the catwalk) I did these ones:

 Hope you like them! :)

 

Ada Zanditon

Hello! Just wanted to show you this work in process i'm doing for Amelia’s Compendium of Fashion Illustration. You may remember it from an earlier post. I've been asked to add to it and make more of the background, try to move it away from the original image!

I was hoping for any thoughts or advice on it if you have any! :)

Amelia's Fashion Open Design Brief

I thought i'd share the work I created for Amelia's Magazine Fashion Brief!

The image above is an illustration of me! This was part of the competition - an illustration of yourself which would accompany your work if you were chosen to be in the book! I like the drawing but perhaps I should have worked more colour into it? Hmm maybe i'll revisit this sometime :)

I have been really inspired by fashion illustration recently (I plan to write my dissertation on it!), so when I saw this competition I couldn't resist giving it a go myself!

I chose to illustrate designer Ada Zanditon, mainly because of the bold bright designs she creates! The colours really drew me to them.





The final one is my favourite I think! I love working with a combination of line drawing, thick shading, bright colours and scanned images or collage!

In these images I coloured the sections I felt should stand out - the clothes and also the luscious, bright colour of their lips!

I really enjoyed this - was very fun to do! :)
