Autumn and Winter Trends

Miminne is commissioned to illustrate the opening page of 'Fashion Edit Awards Autumn Winter 2013'.
Working closely with the fashion editor of Woman and Home, Miminne drew models wearing this season's trends from recent catwalk shows. Reds, tartan, faux fur, leather and knits being the main theme.

Paradise Found

 

Miminne's eye catching fashion illustration has appeared in the latest issue of Style; the Sunday Times supplement. Commissioned for the Beauty feature entitled 'Paradise Found', Miminne says of the job; "The story is about how gorgeous you could look this summer without spending a fortune on high-end products". The team at Style has described the experience of working with Miminne as an absolute delight!

Gigi Istanbul

Earlier this year Miminne completed a project for a large restaurant group in Turkey. Istanbul Doors have opened GIGI, and commissioned Miminne to produce six large images of female heads. She says "The restaurant interior was themed around the famous Turkish story of the nightingale and the rose. Since Istanbul in itself is a place where the East meets the West, I tried to draw women with different cultural backgrounds, trying to differentiate with accessories, make-up, hair styles and physical features. The colours are predominantly in the shades of different reds and pinks, to match to the designated area." The artworks are now on display, reproduced to fit the scale of the space, each measuring approximately 1.6m x 2.35m. Miminne also says "If you happen to be in Istanbul, why not enjoy a drink or two sitting in front of my artwork!"

Dutchbag

This project by Miminne is for the Axel David Fall 2012 collection catalogue. Her drawings were commissioned by Dutchbag (a supplier of different branded handbags based in Holland) and have been used effectively as Miminne describes; "It was something new to me since I have never had my drawing(s) combined with photos. The idea was to produce sketchy background scenery for their models and products. (I) think there is a good contrast between B&W line drawing and colour photography. One with depth to give some atmosphere and the other being just front view to be more informative."

Kellogg's Special K Promotion

Miminne has been busy with eight consecutive editorial ads for Kellogg's. The illustrations were created for SI STYLE magazine in Switzerland, working with Art Director Barbara Pastore. Miminne had to create a character called Keira for the Kellogg's promotional page in the magazine; a girl in her early 20's, who loves Fashion, Beauty, everything hot and new! Miminne says "When I first did sketches, I put a red bow on her head, representing a mirrored K shape, as in Kellogg's. The client was very happy with the idea, so we decided to have the bow in every issue, where possible. We also had her in different settings every month, in shoe shop, in park, in St.Tropez, in Paris, and at home. She was a happy and fun character to draw. I hope the readers enjoyed her presence, too."

Miminne's Scrapbook

Miminne tells how moving image & film narrative often inspire ideas for her illustrations. Miminne's Scrapbook.

Miminne and Pink Tank

Miminne was all over Pink Tank's shop window, a pop-up shop in Barcelona for the month of October. She says: "... This project was put together by a Fashion PR agency called Clarity based in Barcelona. The store housed garments from London based designers like Vivienne Westwood, Sophia Kokosalaki, Felder Felder and more.  My task was to design something exciting to represent the buzz of London city..."
