Hi guys, I'm truly flattered!
I love doing big pages like this filled with ideas, you guys are the inspiration behind many of my designs, as well as the time I spend in boutiques talking to the sales assistants about the materials and popularity, all that. Starved, I am essentiallly a fashion illustrator, but I love accessories and the part they play in the overall look of an outfit. A bag can really set off a beautiful dress, even enhance it. Of course, I think about the practicality too, but in some ideas I just like to go for all out fantasy, like some of the bags in the picture. I prefer handbags to be made from traditional materials, leather, suede, amazonia is really cool, but it's interesting to see new spage-age materials adapted into the designs. There's even talk of 'intelligent materials' that change colour, shape, smell, now that will open up a whole new dimension for my handbags. Starved, you shall be in the next set of bags I design, sometime this week! Lena, I'll also do one of your zippy messenger bags, just you wait and see it! Gosh, this is fun
stay groovy
