Illustrator: Lisa Congdon


I came across this beautiful illustration from Lisa Congdon  on 'sharesomecandy' . I always find it inspiring to see an artist workspace and all the inspirations which surround them. Above are some images from Lisa Studio, bursts of contrasting colours capture your imagination against the whitewash backdrop. I was interested to find out about Lisa's latest project which launched in January 2010. entitled ' A Collection Day' . This is a bog documenting 365 days of a collection, every one is different and may be object or illustration. You must check this out!

Juliette Hogan: 'So Pretty It Hurts'

Juliette Hogan’s Winter '10 Collection “So Pretty it Hurts” is a stunning mix of soft wollen fabrics, light chiffons, muted tones and ladylike floral prints. Its sophisticated and refined design gives juliette hogan wearers 'an air of bookish beauty about them. Feminine soft silhouettes mixed with some detailed tailoring provides a lovely contrast. Hiked up hemlines and plunging necklines lead you to believe this prim and proper appearance is not quite what it seems.
