Creative Focus: Lisa Stannard

Pin It
Over the last few weeks I've been spending a lot of time on FASHION156 and I have been inspired to say the least. They regularly feature the work of creatives in photography, art and illustration and often use emerging talent, showcasing their work to a large audience. So I have decided to do the same. Share and share alike I say. So the first in my Creative Focus series is the fashion illustrator LISA STANNARD. She is one talented lady and has been on my radar for some time. Stannard started her career with a degree in textiles, and has specialised in illustration and print design, working with Lily Allen on the launch of her clothing store Lucy In Disguise and has been commisioned for many freelance projects.

She is most famous for her work with Whitney Port, who you may remember from MTV's The City, and designs prints for her Whitney Eve clothing collection. Her signature style of bright and semi-abstract feminine florals and stylistic portraiture has seen her emerge as an industry-leader in the field of fashion illustration and print design. Below are some examples of her work, from her freelance projects to her most recent work for Whitney Eve. Feast your eyes.

Summer Festival Vibes

Pin It
If you're anything like me, you'll be getting bored of hearing all the hype on twitter about Coachella 2012. The source of this boredom is rooted in jealousy, as it looks pretty great. The celebs, models and fashionistas have been out in force trying to out-do each other in the festival fashion shakes...with some looking less effortless than others. Kate Bosworth being a noteable exception! With summer around the corner, I'm sure I'm not the only one getting excited about festival season, so here are some snaps from Coachella to provide some inspiration, mostly for the girls...not gonna lie.




















While this all looks like good, clean, fashionable fun... my summer festival schedule is going to be slightly different. I'll be getting my hippy on in a big way and intend to be covered in glitter and various fancy dress accessories for 2 weeks - at Exit fest and Secret Garden Party. Can't wait. For all those of you also attending these fine events, here's something to whet your whistle! Now to plan my costumes...
