BA (Hons) Fashion Illustration
Scarlett Giannakou -Currently studying fashion illustration at London college of fashion on my final year. Previous experience in Textiles/Art & Design and Fashion E-commerce I mainly draw hand rendered pieces using pencil, tonal, watercolour, colouring pencils and inks. I would say my work is a mix of all my favourite designers/illustration in one pot! Of course David Downton, Esra Roise, Richard Gray and Kelly Smith. I also like to incorporate photography within illustrations, that I have taken myself. My inspiration is mainly from my surroundings - nature playing the biggest part. Especially animals such as horses and birds but also leaves, flowers and wood grains. I love the free element of nature and feel this when I myself draw. I also adore going out and about in London with my camera and street scouting for inspirational dress or characters. I am very passionate about fashion illustration and it has resonated within me from a very young age; from when my Grandma gave me a bridal catalogue. I used to copy the dresses everyday- my passion for dress started there and has developed into my obsession.
