Last month I got a super exciting chance to create an original illustration for
Marks &
Spencer! I love M&S,
when I was in England this summer I stocked up on so many pairs black tights and comfy-cute bras. Plus they're so nice there, whenever I stop by the stores here in Hong Kong they always call me ma'am, I into that.
Located in Lanson Hotel in Causeway Bay, M&S hosted the press event to present their A/W 2014 collection and to
celebrate their first time presenting at London Fashion Week. This was the first time I've ever been outfitted by a brand for their event, it was so much fun to pick out an outfit with the M&S team, after many maybe outfits I finally chose a body hugging mid-calf
Per Una dress in a red and black geometric print paired with gold and silver accessories. I love how the dress is super comfy (girrrl, I gotta werk!) has a qi-pao vibe because of the length but it's still super modern because of the print and stretch knit fabric.
READ ON to see more photos of the event and my live illustrations.
Whenever I think of M&S I always think British so in addition to
drawing their spokesperson
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and
David Gandy on
the pre-illustration, I of course had to include
Her Royal Highness The
Queen and
Kate Middleton with her wee little royal baby
Prince George.
It was such a busy event, with lots of guests and media in attendance to cover the new collection. Check out some super sweet mentions from
More Sunday Magazine and
AM730 here. There were already a small line forming as I was setting up my table and I didn't stop my pen until the very end of the event. Luckily M&S had an on-site photographer who snapped these wonderful photos for us from the day.
Some of the lovely ladies that I got to draw included
photographer Sabrina Sikora,
Jackaline of MandSandThenSome and writer
Michelle Yeung.
