Grammys 2023: Cardi B in Gaurav Gupta

Current Cravings

Hands down, my favorite look from this year’s Grammys red carpet was Cardi B in Gaurav Gupta Couture 2023. This stunning cobalt blue gown, with sculpted three-dimensional forms framing Cardi’s arms and head, functions as both an art piece and fashion.

By the way, I am working on an illustrated e magazine. The magazine is my visual love letter to all of the divine and craveable fashion, beauty and decor trends that inspire me. The magazine will include: (1) high-fashion, concept driven editorial illustrations; (2) illustrated style guides; (3) illustrations featuring fresh-off-the-runway trends; and (4) profiles on fashion muses, past and present.

Interested in getting an issue of the e magazine when it drops this spring? Sign up for my email list so you know when it’s available for purchase.

One more thing… you can support this project by supporting me on Patreon. On Patreon, I provide my supporters with behind-the-scenes access by sharing sketches and some sneak peeks at illustrations I’m currently working on. Also, depending on the membership level selected, at least once a month I share the process (from sketch to completed illustration) that led to the final version of an illustration that will appear in the magazine. You can learn more details about what I share with my Patreon supporters here.

Runway Look: Givenchy Couture Spring 2019

Current Cravings

Typically when I think of latex, I don’t think haute couture. However, in Givenchy’s latest couture collection, Clare Waight Keller moved beyond preconceived notions of latex to create pieces that were intricate, luxe and thoroughly modern. This particular look mixes lace, pearls and latex. It’s a combination I would have never expected to work, but I must admit this particular incarnation is divine.

Runway Look: Dior Haute Couture Fall 2018

Dior Haute Couture Fall 2018 - Sublime Cravings Illustration

I’m enamored with the direction that Maria Grazia Chiuri has taken Dior since she took the helm at the fashion house. This latest collection featured an array of ethereal chiffon and Chantilly lace dresses in nude and blush tones. Soft, beautiful and refined, the Dior Haute Couture Fall 2018 dress in this illustration features sunray pleated chiffon in the palest shade of pink. Dainty drop earrings embellished with colorful but delicate animal figurines lend a whimsical touch to the whole look.

Runway Look: Giambattista Valli Couture Fall 2017

Current Cravings

At the Giambattista Valli Couture Fall 2017 show it was all about ruby lips and fancy frocks. There were so many divine dresses in this collection, but I decided to focus on 2 dresses for this illustration. I started with this lovely gown in a delicate shade of pink, with a bodice embellished with dainty bows and flower petals. The second runway look in this illustration features a deep wine-colored draped silk chiffon floor-length gown accessorized with vintage jewelry. I’m sure we’ll be seeing several dresses from this collection on the red carpet in the months to come.

Runway Look: Christian Dior Couture Fall 2016

Current Cravings


I loved the silhouettes used in the Christian Dior Couture Fall 2016 collection. And the black and white palette, with touches of gold and silver, allowed the silhouettes to take center stage. This show was billed as a modern take on the New Look (full skirts, tiny waists, and billowing fabric) that Christian Dior introduced in his debut collection.

This off-the-shoulder halter dress with gold embroidery was one of my favorite looks from the collection. The overall vibe of the collection was modern, chic, and feminine, yet effortless.

High quality prints of this illustration are currently available in my Etsy shop. Click here for details.

Runway Look: Atelier Versace Couture Fall 2016

Atelier Versace Couture Fall 2016 - Sublime Cravings
These 2 pieces from from the Fall 2016 Atelier Versace Couture show are the epitome of what I like to call “ladylike with an edge.” I’m not sure which one I love more, the blush gown with the asymmetrical peplum, or the black gown with intricate folds that comprise it’s bodice. Definitely glamorous with an attitude.
