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.

Oscars 2018: Zendaya in Giambattista Valli Couture

Current Cravings

Zendaya in Giambattista Valli Couture is easily my favorite red carpet look from this year’s Oscars. This sumptuous one-shoulder dress features layers of draped chocolate brown chiffon. A shimmery brown smokey eye and elegant top knot complete the look. The overall effect is elegant and regal.

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: Giambattista Valli Couture Spring 2017

Current Cravings

Giambattista Valli’s couture shows usually end with a series of voluminous and decadent tiered tulle gowns, and his Spring 2017 Couture show was no exception. And because I’m a dessert first, then dinner type of person, I couldn’t wait to see the ball gown confections that comprise the finale of the runway show. Don’t get me wrong, the show was filled with lovely pieces that I definitely want to illustrate, but I had to draw this exquisite tulle ball gown first.

Twirling in Tulle: Giambattista Valli Couture Spring 2016

Sublime Cravings - Giambattista Valli Couture Spring 2016
How can you stop yourself from twirling in a gown made of tiered tulle ruffles? Impossible, right?

One of my favorite elements of every Giambattista Valli Couture show are the floaty tulle tiered gowns that appear at the end of the show. The red gown was definitely a show stopper.

Golden Globes 2016: Jennifer Lopez in Giambattista Valli

Current Cravings

Jennifer Lopez Golden Globes Sublime Cravings
Although Jennifer Lopez has a tried and true winning red carpet formula-think sparkles, nude illusion, and cutouts-some of her best red carpet looks deviate from this formula. This gorgeous yellow Giambattista Valli dress doesn’t fit J Lo’s red carpet formula, which is probably why I love the way she looks in it. Don’t get me wrong, I adore J Lo in the sparkly body-con gowns she’s known for, but when she occasionally departs from her red carpet formula it’s magic.

Unapologetically Feminine: Giambattista Valli Couture Spring 2015

Current Cravings

The backstage photos of the models in the Giambattista Valli Spring 2015 Couture Show were so fun and gorgeous, so I created this drawing inspired by the photos. I adore the veils with bows and polka dots, because they are unapologetically feminine and playful.
