B r o d e i Fashion Illustration
Fa s h i o n I l l u s t r a t i o n Unlike fashion photographers, illustrators normally don’t have to work with models to create fashion illustrations. Their models could be in their minds or referred to some photos. The artists have more freedom to connect emotions, artistic style to the essence of their work. Various techniques have been available to the artist in their creations, water color, digital art, multimedia, pencil drawings, etc. Style woman is a forever subject, yet I’m never tied of enjoying the color, beauty and inspirations.

Editors Foreword
My everyday look is creative yet simplistic style. From dresses and heels to jodhpur pants and boots.
My favourite scent is Fracas by Robert Piguet [a very sensual, classic tuberose], which is in-store at Reminiscence now.
I always wear accessories and always wear perfume and red lipstick. I feel naked without it; it’s my signature.
Also Jean-Charles Brosseau’s Ombre Rose [an old-fashioned rosewood, violet, vanilla and ylang-ylang blend, deep and romantic], in store from January.
My favourite place to shop is Paris, as that’s what I do. Also my childhood stomping ground, London -- especially the old Liberty store. It oozes decadent opulence and when you leave, its perfume lingers with you for hours. Last of all, I can’t walk past an op-shop without going in -- you never know what you will find. My best buy was a Ralph Lauren jacket, brand new for $7 at a Hobart Vinnie’s. The most I’ve ever spent on one item was pound stg. 360 for Miu Miu boots from Notting Hill in London. I could not leave London without them! They are a leather riding boot, but the piece de resistance is black velvet bows on the heels. I’ve had them for seven years now and they still look fantastic.
My favourite accessory is costume jewellery, which I’ve collected for years. Both old and new. One of my favourite pieces is Gas Bijoux big pearl earrings with velvet bows to match my boots. My worst fashion disaster was wearing black to my wedding! It was a Carla Zampatti long cocktail dress with a huge taffeta bow at the side. My mother-in-law just about died on the spot! My favourite designer is Armani -- simply classic and beautifully tailored. My best fashion tip is to wear what makes you feel comfortable and reflect a sense of self.

Red is a sunset Blazing and bright. Red is feeling brave With all your might. Red is a sunburn A spot on your nose. Sometimes red, is a red red rose. Red squiggles out when you cut your hand. Red is a brick And the sounds of a band. Red is hotness You get inside When you’re embarrassed And want to hide. Fire-cracker, fire-engine Fire-flicker red – And when you’re angry Red runs through your head. Red is an Indian A Valentine heart, The trimmings on A circus cart. Red is a lipstick Red is a shout Red is a signal That says, “Watch out!” Red is a great big Rubber ball. Red is the giant-est Colour of all. Red is a show-off, No doubt about it – But can you imagine Living without it? 4
