Fashion Horoscopes

Gemini

Pisces

Sagittarius

Montana Forbes completes a set of horoscopes for IKON images.
The three here; Sagittarius, Pisces and Gemini are just a taster of the beauties Montana has created for the company who primarily deal with stock imagery. Montana says "I’ve always had a keen interest in the horoscopes and was really excited to tackle the subject matter for the very first time. After much research, I was inspired to create unique fashion and beauty portraits that incorporated elements and characteristics associated with each sign but without them being clichéd depictions." See all twelve in Montana's portfolio.

Live drawing expert Jacqueline Bissett draws at two fashion store events.
Taking place in October, the first was for Space NK at their Broadwick Street W1 branch. The event was for the launch of an amazing range of make up called "By Terry" (the make up artist who invented YSL's touche eclat).  Beauty editors from Elle, The Guardian, Top Sante, Psychologies magazines & known beauty bloggers were treated to a makeover then passed over to Jacqueline to illustrate. She says "I met some fantastic people and really talented make up artists and had a fabulous day drawing fabulous people!"
And last month, Jacqueline was invited to a Warehouse event at Cribbs Causeway in Bristol. After having a make-over, lucky customers were then given the Bissett treatment by having their 'new look' beautifully drawn on paper. Jacqueline says "I drew the public for a pre-xmas event and Warehouse staff of course! Had a great day and did about 15 illustrations over 8 hours!"
