Inspired by the extreme silhouettes of the FallWinter 2013 fashion collections, I created this series with a combination of gouache and digital applications. (please click images for larger versions)

Manhattan's Favorite Summer Accessory
While wandering around Manhattan, I noticed that everyone's hands were filled with ice cream instead of their usual smart phones.
Happy Summer!

Street Style . sketchbook
Going through old sketchbooks I found a sketch for some girls I saw on Dekalb Avenue at Vanderbilt in Brooklyn - in 2oo7. I liked how the trio were all in black. I also thought it was interesting, with the exception of the girl in pants, that they looked fashionably current. I updated the sketch by giving the first girl high-waisted print pants, instead of the capris she was really wearing, and then assigned them all shoes. I hadn't drawn the shoes in the sketch. This task allowed me to go shoe shopping for my models. From left to right they are wearing, Bensimon lace-up flats - gris fonce, Jeffery Campbell mariel wedges and Madewell peekaboo slingbacks.

Street Style . NYC February 2011 part two
I saw this chickie while on a journey to see an exhibit at the Society of Illustrators. She had on skin tight silver pants, but not the lamé leggings. They were a thick material and stiff and cut like jeans. They were odd and cool.

Street Style . NYC February 2011
A couple girls I saw at Union Square a few weeks ago. I like the transition from winter to spring with the chunky scarf & coat then a Mori Girl style floral and cotton lace layering over cut-offs. And then other girl, head to toe black with cream colored platform sandals. Maybe she was breaking them in for spring. I liked the look though.

Street Style . Tracks DC, 1992
I was going through some very old sketchbooks and found some doodles I had done after nights out clubbing at Tracks DC as a teenager. I think they are pretty funny and loved how they show the fashion of the time. It is practically twenty years later and what is it they say? Fashion comes back around every twenty years? I am definitely doing doubles takes at young girls looking like they raided my teenage closet. Have a look at teenage doodles of teenage fashion observations!
Check out the romper on the left. We've been seeing those on the street at least since last spring. I see them in the shops for this season too.
Okay, the chick in the middle is totally in club gear (I hope) but the two girls on the bottom reminded me of how popular overalls were then.

This is a year later and not from Tracks but from a movie rental shop in suburbia. I still remember this guy. He was awesome! Wearing double plaid with a sky blue flopped over mohawk and school bus yellow combat boots.
I never stopped doodling what people are wearing wherever I go. I am glad these old drawing survived. I plan on making a little series of city kid observations. Check out tomorrow's post.

another doodle
Graphite.
This dress is from the Marc Jacobs Fall 2011/11 collection in all my rendering's smudgy glory. I plan to vectorize several of these doodles but I like the uneveness and contour lines of the drawings too.
