// NEW WORK // Fashion Editorial
So you may have seen a few sneak peeks revealed on my Facebook page over the last couple of weeks?...
Well, I have just completed my first ever official fashion editorial! YAY!! I was commissioned by new online fashion publication, Never Underdressed by Shorlist Media, to create three 'Fashematic' illustration editorials as a feature for their launch.
Each illustrated 'Fashematic' equation provides a break down of inspiration behind international collections by Louise Gray, Fendi and Celine.
Never Underdressed was launched only this week, and is the UK's first freestanding digital glossy aimed at affluent stylish women. It combines original fashion and beauty shoots and video, with up-to-the-minute news, galleries and features. Go check it out!

A little trip to Brighton.
Our weekend happened to coincide with the Brighton Marathon, which packed out the streets on Sunday- luckily the weather was amazinggg! After exploring the beautiful lanes, home to the cute independent shops and boutiques, we played the 2p machines on the Pier, ate Fish & Chips, walked along the beach in the sunshine, and enjoyed a Choccywoccydoodah dipping pot to finish off the 'holiday'.
This was my first visit to Brighton and I instantly fell in love with the place.. so much so, that I really want to move here! ..(right, I'm off to get planning)

#TedBakerLines
Ted Baker introduce 'Ted's Finishing School'.
Each day throughout the week, from Monday 11th - Friday 15th March, Ted Baker have encouraged followers to get creative and submit an image in response to a daily 'line'.
I have eagerly wanted to submit an entry all week, but due to a busy schedule today has been the only day I have been able to respond. Today's line was "I never compromise on the art of smart" and I came up with this...
Being an illustrator, of course, I decided to illustrate my response within the concept of a fashion illustration. I am totally in love with this Ted Baker- Bird Print Shirt, so took inspiration from this to create my own Ted inspired smart fashion girl. I used my own bird illustrations to create the garment print, which I am super pleased with!
If you're feeling creative.. respond to tomorrow's line, which will be revealed at 11am. Submit an entry through Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. (Make sure you hashtag #TedBakerLines for your entry to be valid!) There are prizes up for grabs too, including limited edition tote bags and spot prizes each day.
