Roulette; beginnings

I'm off for a long weekend holiday. So I've decided to put up some of the sketches for a fun project that should be finished by the end of this month (there's a hint in the name).

Have also started work on a Galliano fashion comic using Sonny's images that I mentioned in a previous post.

See you next week,

Ciao

Rudofia, Santa's Helper - Making Of

Daggers, NYC

Happy New Year!

The Fake Sartorialist is now back from his ventures overseas.
Stay tuned for regular updates from now on. Got lots of inspiration during my travels, so get ready for the images that will ensue from my titillated imagination.

Seasons Greetings! Rudolfia, Santa's Helper

Rudolfia used to be one of Santa's little helpers but gave it all up to become the regional Starbucks director for New York. It isn't often that the traces of her former life become visible, but this winters day she just couldn't help cutting some holly leaves and sticking them in her hair just like the good old times.

On the Street… Polka Hat, Paris

I met Bernd years ago when he was still teaching his amateur water-colour course on Rue St. Honoré. He always had the most amazing knack of adding one, or two, or even three zany accessories that really made him stand out of the crowd, perhaps explode is a better word.
I was an eager student and absorbed everything I could from Bernd. Over the years I stepped up the ladder of competitive water-colour painting. Bernd trained me to my peak - European Amateur Speed Water-colour Artist of 2005. It was then, sadly, that my blog began to pic up and I haven't thought about painting since. Not till I saw Bernd in a halo of smoke on my last trip to Paris. He did a good job at trying to get me into the break-neck world of speed painting, but alas I feel that I've gotten too old for that.

On the Street….Hamish Bowles, NYC

I caught Hamish walking out of Vogue HQ on his way to a secret luncheon with Anna Wintour. He was sporting a matching coat and face mask. H1N1 paranoia has made its way to the top of the fashion crop. Anna and Karl have recently released a series of black sequined, triple ply, 99% bacteria and virus reduction, medical masks that compliment large, dark, sunglasses. D&G have also come into the fray, releasing colour matching masks to their new scent anthology.
Hamish apparently likes the classic, paired down look, of a traditional medical mask.

The Lobal Gent Man or The Sainthood of Darance

It's difficult enough shooting really-really-good-looking-people without them also being your full-time lover and part-time friend.
Poor poor Darance just couldn't click the shutter button without me checking the composure, light levels and my hair in the mirror, over and over again. I kept on saying, are you sure you don't just want me to take the photograph myself, really love, it might just be easier and most likely faster, but Darance persisted.
It really didn't help much either with my 19th century royal-wax collar that began to melt in the Milan heat towards the end of the shoot.

Sorry D,
next time a self-pic on my BB might just be the best compromise.

On the Street…Legs

On the Street….Classic with a Twist, Paris

Classic with a twist is what I would call old Georgie Boy here. Not only did he insist that his tailor cover the standard 24crt gold buttons on his DB from Anderson and Sheppard (those ab-fab Savile Row tailors) be covered by material. He also insisted on creating a counterpoint to the outfit with an Elizabethan popped collar, thus melding the angst of adolescent teens with the opulence of an overpowering monarch. Subtle to the nth degree.
