CREATIVE CRUSH // EVIE KEMP

Fierce design and illustration for the fearless. That's the philosophy behind each artwork from New Zealand illustrator Evie Kemp.

Unafraid of creating pieces with strong personality, Evie combines bold line, colours and arresting motifs to produce her intense art prints. Not interested in making something to fit the cookie cutter show home, Evie wants all her pieces to pack a punch - like a visual slap in the face to awaken the senses and give a space it's own personality.

And I think it's safe to say she's hit the nail on the head with this amazing bird series.

FASHION HOUSE DRAMA

Even after watching The Devil Wears Prada i've always loved the idea of working in fashion publishing (just watch The September Issue to understand why) but while the top fashion houses might want us to believe it's all catwalks, globe trotting buying trips and partying with celebrities the truth is there's always plenty of in-house drama & often thanks to some of those larger-than-life designers.

Refinery29 has a fun little article detailing the stories behind 12 of the biggest (or at least, most interesting) names in fashion, and the moments, people and designs that have made them such icons.

And how adorable are the shop-front illustrations by Gabriela Alford.

A common theme I noticed... the Nazi's must have been very well dressed.
