Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas

Sample Sales are great!!

  Sample sales on 16th Dec went very well. It's milliner Piers Atkinson first sample sales and the result is pleasant. Some of the sample is also seen on I-D, what a great deal! The eye catching quirky glam setting of the stall is a success, and we all have fun at the night.

All the hats came with these lovely hand drawing illustration price tag done incredibly by Lady Megan Penfold. New young illustrator with this amazing fun personality and I'm lucky to have the pleasure to work with you! :)

Happy X'mas to everyone.

Well, I'm obviously lazy about doing everyone a card, plus posting / handing them

So, slightly early, (in case I'm drunk through the holiday) here's my best wishes to you all.

Enjoy the holiday!!

Designer Christmas Sales!!

The Legendary David Downton

  The legendary Mr. David Downton came to LCF to give us a talk plus promoting his new book 'Masters of Fashion Illustration'. Within an hour, he shared his experience and how he got to this stage. He's surprisingly funny and he surely is one great talent within the fashion industry.

1) He told us that he never use rubber, just layering with light-box; positioning image until he's happy with it.

2) Likeness is not his concern, he cares about positioning instead.

3) He said he is a lazy workaholic, I bet he work 200% power on when he's focus. LOL

4) If he can be drawn by any illustrator, he wants René Gruau to draw him.

5) He made decision about 10 years ago that he will not work with computer, he revealed he doesn't like the idea of working with a box, he thinks everyone can do digital arts, it's problem about tool, but drawing is simply about the skills and he like to make sure people know that. LOL

  I'm thrilled to get he sign his new book. This is one exciting moment!
