Vogue Photo Shoot: "Playing the Field"

This photo shoot is in Vogue magazine (US), November 2009, and was photographed by Craig McDean. It features a red-haired model in flowery printed dresses from the Spring 2010 collection of several top fashion designers. All except one of the outfits are worn with Balenciaga boots made from black patent leather with straps and buckles.

Lexus Ad with Isabel and Ruben Toledo

In the latest issue of Vogue, there is a new advertisement from the Lexus "Something Better" campaign and features drawings by Ruben and Isabel Toledo. Ruben, an artist, and Isabel, a fashion designer, also happen to be a married couple. The ad is intended to show how Lexus delivers the "possibilities of tomorrow," and reveals that "the car of the future is now a reality." Isabel and Ruben were asked to create their own idea of what "someday" would look like in their field.

Ruben's fashion illustrations have appeared in magazines such as Harper's Bazaar, Details, Paper and the New York Times. He has also written and illustrated several books. Born in Cuba in 1961, Ruben's illustrations have been described as "surreal and witty."

Fashion Illustration by me (Liz Blair): Galliano Spring 2010

I made these sketches by looking at Galliano's Spring 2010 fashion show photos posted on www.style.com. People have been saying that its his best collection in 10 years and I would tend to agree.
