Past Event
From iconic suiting and evening wear to unmistakable perfume and luxury goods, 20th Century fashion houses created a new movement in women’s fashion. This workshop celebrates fashion's evolution through the decades, visiting the origins of some famous designs, to help inspire the creation of fashion sketches!
Begin with an introduction to drawing the fashion figure and capturing the essence of a model, pose, or outfit. Next, practical exercises will familiarise you with figure drawing and depicting fabric movement and texture. Finally, you will illustrate a bespoke design and digitise your sketches using the Procreate app. The session will simplify the fashion sketch while equipping participants with techniques to develop their own style and approach.
Workshop led by Yéga:
YÉGA is a British-Nigerian fashion artist whose client list includes British Vogue, Vogue Arabia, Maison Ladurée, Boghossian, Fashion Trust Arabia, Jennifer Chamandi London and The Dubai Mall.
Her blended cultural heritage greatly influences her eclectic style, often featuring intricate line work, patterns, bold colour palettes and her favourite subject- the human figure. Working predominantly with fine liner pens and digital colour, she also frequently experiments with watercolours, markers and acrylic paint.
In 2020, YEGA founded Fashion Illustration Africa to encourage knowledge sharing between Western and African illustrators. She also co-founded iLLUSTRA8, an NYC-based talent management agency representing multidisciplinary illustrators from Africa, India and the Middle East.
