I am uber excited today. Mainly because Amelia’s Compendium of Fashion Illustration goes to print tomorrow. The wonderful and super talented Amelia Gregory has truly created a real treat of a book for your viewing pleasure, packed full of ethical designers and beautiful illustrations from a team of talented illustrators. Oh la la, talk about eye candy! Amongst the illustrators featured are Gemma Milly, Abi Daker, Becky Glover, Faye West, Naomi Law, Yelena Bryksenkova to name just few. You’ll just have to check it out to see the full extent of talent, and mark my words, I’ve seen the work of all these people and they are GOOD!
OK here are the vitals. The ‘ooooh aaaaah’ pretty front cover was designed by Arizona-based artist Andrea Peterson. Well done lovely it look amazing! The book features interviews with 30 hand-picked illustrators on their craft, as well as 50 profiles of the best up and coming ethical fashion designers, including jewellery and footwear. It’s also printed using vegetable inks on FSC approved paper. Is there anything that Amelia hasn’t thought of??
So it’s hats off again to Amelia for working super, super hard to create such a beautiful and relevant coffee table book, and championing the cause of up and coming illustration talent, not to mention some fabulous ethical fashion designers.
Uhh..if you’re still reading this why are you not heading over to Amelia’s Magazine to order up a copy or three?
