Pret-a-Portea goes stateside!

Finally I can reveal the design that I have been working on. Pret-a-Portea has gone over the Atlantic for NY Fashion week. I painted the above illustration for the event, which features Manhattan and London skylines, delicious cakes and Louboutin sparkly heels.

The event is being hosted by Bergdorf Goodman in the stunning BG restaurant, with a menu of bespoke cookies, cakes and other sweet indulgences all inspired by the Spring 2009 collections. Everyone has been involved in the tea from Michael Kors to Christian Louboutin to Chanel.

The tea starts today, and continues until February 20th, from three until five thirty daily. I think there is a chance it is fully booked, but call (001) 212 872 8977 if you would like to attend, or for more details (and a better image of my illustration) go to http://www.the-berkeley.co.uk/Bergdorf_Goodman.aspx

The Berkeley spa

Yesterday, I went to the Berkeley hotel www.the-berkeley.co.uk to pick up some things they would like illustrated.

The spa has a new brochure, new letter-paper and looks quite different too. As well as talking about the latest job for them, it was also the first time I had seen my illustrations on the new things. I love how they've turned out.

I started work on the new project as soon as I got back into the office, and will be sure to post the finished result.

On the way out (by the lift), there was this stunning floral arrangement. I think the combination of grey, gold and purple is beautiful.
