Here are the remaining two illustrations I did for brand new book Fashion Africa, written by blogger and fashion designer Jacqueline Shaw.
♥ This one was for ethical fashion label Black Noir
♥ And this one was for UK-based fashion label Choolips.
This was a lovely project to take part in. It was intense and a lot of hard work but I am very happy with my final pieces and delighted that the book launch was such a huge success. Jacqueline is a great lady and a woman of vision. She deserves it!

♥ Hello, my lovelies. Sorry for my absence lately. After a very hectic illustration marathon for London Fashion Week, I decided to take a breather from the blogosphere. My life has been a little crazy these last few days so I took a few days off to reboot.
Do bear with me though, as I have a lot of new and exciting illustrations to post!
Let me start by showing you one of the pieces I did for Fashion Africa, the book by fashion designer Jacqueline Shaw.
This piece was to illustrate the chapter about Nigerian label and designer Ituen Basi.
I LOVE the colors. Aren’t they beautiful? I believe it is not humanly possible to be unhappy if one is wearing this dress.

♥ Last week was the launch of Fashion Africa, a book about African Fashion Design by writer and designer Jacqueline Shaw.
I was one of the illustrators invited to take part in the project and I did A LOT of illustrations! It was such a great project, I just couldn’t help it! I posted a few pieces last week, but here are a few more. This time, for London-based African fashion label Zed-Eye.

The launch was a great success and the book is already available to order. You can buy it online here.
♥ Yes, I know it received some bad reviews, but I don’t really care. I’m in love with The Kennedys.
I don’t know how historically accurate it is, but I think it’s well produced, it has an amazing plot, a good cast and great wardrobe.
I’ve never been a fan of Katie Holmes but I like her as Jackie. She is not perfect and she’s certainly a little stiff, but it’s a fantastic role and I’ve never seen her in anything remotely good. The men are great though, especially Tom Wilkinson as Joe Kennedy Sr. (He’s always good, actually, in every role he plays). Either way, I’m hooked. – Plus, it’s a nice break from True Blood (yes, I’m addicted to that one too, I’m afraid), so I highly recommend it.

Have a nice and sunny weekend, everyone. And to my friends in London: enjoy Fashion Week! I’m slightly jealous. You know I am.
Lots of love from Lisbon.

A couple of months ago I was commissioned to produce illustration for Fashion Africa, a beautiful new book about African Fashion Design by designer, blogger and founder of the Africa Fashion Guide, Jacqueline Shaw.
I was thrilled! Apart from being such a wonderful project, the designs I was asked to illustrate were the most colorful and charismatic pieces I have seen in a long time. An absolute joy to draw!
The book launch is on Friday, 9th September, in London. I can’t post the full drawings yet, but here are some sneaky peeks:
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to go to London for the book launch. It’s a shame, as I would LOVE to attend and do some live illustration on the spot (like I did for the launch of Amelia’s Compendium of Fashion Illustration. It was amazing!).
I can’t wait to see the book, though. I am expecting some very bright and colorful pages.
For more details about the launch, the book and its author, visit the African Fashion Guide website here.
Lots of love from Lisbon.
