From The Beginning.

Carven 1980’s Fragrance Ad.

My interest in fashion strangely started at a young age around 12/13. There was a commercial on Television for a French Brand-named Carven. In this commercial there was a moment when a lady, a fashion designer sits at her desks and sketches a dress. The illustration was so fluid, and it fascinated me how anyone draw like that it, the drawing style was very much of its time, though well executed. I went out and bought some felt tips from Woolworths for about 0.99p and tried my hand at drawing. The result, terrible and I quickly lost my interest moving on to other things, but that commercial stayed in my mind forever, a bit cheesy maybe for some. But a starting point for me. You’ll find a link to the commercial, in this version you see a glimpse of the sketch, I believe the original was removed from YouTube. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHzz3YYphaQ
