Rough Sketches

Global Best Dressed Shots by Tommy Ton of Jak & Jil for Style. These rough sketches were drawn by me.

Today I watched The September Issue for the first time. I am so late I know, but it gave me the knowledge about the severity behind the fashion industry. I have heard about that frequently, but on that film, it revealed those hard times which could be seen by the pair of our eye. It quite made me scared to work in that industry. I guess I am in doubt now about what am I going to reach after watching that documentary film.

But I really adore Grace Coddington... since the first time I read Vogue, I haven't recognized the person behind those amazing works I adored on Vogue U.S. I adore her attitude that's shown on the film. You Rock Miss Coddington! The flaming red hair, and her laid back style are so remarkable. Her works are genius, as Anna had said too. I wish I could purchase her book called "Grace, Thirty Years of Fashion at Vogue".

By the way at my English course, there was an assignment to make the best dinner party (this assignment was given before I watched The September Issue) . I invited her to my imaginary dinner party! It's because I remembered that she was the creative director of Vogue U.S. and I also invited 10 best people at fashion industry, I could invite the dead ones! The topics were fashion, and giving scholarship for talented designers (haha I just could think of CFDA). The room was well designed too, I went with the theme "Graceful White". I wish that dinner party could become true!

Grace was a former model on her era. These ones are Grace's amazing shots on Vogue Paris way back then:
