Draw a Dot Collaboration: Couture Melodies
Draw a Dot, a website dedicated to promoting current fashion illustrators, is managed and curated by Marcus Kan from Toronto, Ontario . In January of 2013, I had the surprise, and honor, of being a featured artist on his website. My series, Beauté Trouvé, was hosted and promoted with a beautifully written article by Marcus. After a brief introduction, Marcus requested that I assist him on a collaborative project with his friend, John Anthony. The collaboration was called “Couture Melodies” and it features five famous and current female singers wearing garments from the Spring 2013 Couture season. I was given the task of choosing the artist, pairing them with one of the designers from the 2013 Couture season, and answering two questions to explain my choices. After I completed the illustrations they were presented to John Anthony who proceeded to pair my piece with a music video by that same artist that matched the emotions and personality that I portrayed through my illustration.
