LESLEY BARNES– V&A FRIDAY LATE

.....................................................................................................................................

The very talented Lesley Barnes will be running a workshop at the V&A Friday Late event in Paris as Fashion Week takes place in the French capital.

With the help of her assistant Libby, Lesley will help attendants create their own Mary Katrantzou inspired collage fashion illustration. Bring your imagination and leave any worries of artistic talent at home!

The event will be taking place at the Wanderlust venue in Paris this Friday (28/09/2012), if you are in the area I would recommend attending as I am sure it will be a great opportunity to learn from a fantastic creative.

To see examples of Lesley's work follow the link below.

LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL

The London Design Festival is upon us starting on the 18th September, the event forms a nine-day celebration of design in the world’s creative capital. The Festival is a platform for the widest spectrum of design disciplines, brought together as a unique and accessible programme.

With so many events included in the festival the choice is overwhelming, particularly when deciding how to start it. I found myself with some free time the other day and started my festival with going to see the V&A Illustration Award exhibition.

The V&A Illustration Awards are held annually to highlight the best book and editorial illustration published in the UK in the previous year. Their aim is to encourage, recognise and celebrate high standards of creativity in the industry. The awards are free to enter and offer some of the most substantial financial prizes for illustration in the UK.

I enjoyed seeing the diversity of the work that was selected as the winners of each category as well as the streaming of the other entries. I'm sure I'll find many more great events to attend before the festival ends.

How did you start yours?
