Fashion Illustration All the Way from Portugal

E-mails that come from different parts of the world, especially far far away, really make my day. I have just received and e-mail from António, a fashion illustrator who lives in Oporto city in Portugal, and works as a freelance illustrator. I'm not sure if he already knew how obsessed I am with fashion illustration or simply wanted a medium to spread the word in our region about his amazing talent, but he shared with me part of his recent illustration project and it's absolutely amazing.

António completed his degree in Fine Arts (painting) at the School of Fine Arts of the University of Porto. Since then, he has devoted his time painting and illustration as well as to artistic education. In fact, fashion illustration came about at the time he was teaching that subject of the Fashion Design course at CITEX.

If you're looking for an illustrator, you may contact him by sending an e-mail to antoniocarlosoares@hotmail.com.

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in Miu Miu Boutiques throughout our region.
