David Downton

I came across these fabulous David Downton fashion prints. 

David Downton was born in Kent, in the south of England in 1959. He studied at Canterbury and Wolverhampton. In 1984 he moved to Brighton and began his illustration career. For the next 12 years he worked on a wide variety of projects from advertising and packaging to illustrating fiction, cook books and, occasionally, fashion.

In 1996, the Financial Times commissioned him to draw at the couture shows and since then David has become known principally as a fashion illustrator. His reports from the shows have been seen internationally, in the US, China, Australia and the Middle East, as well as in almost every leading UK broadsheet and supplement.

David’s commercial client list includes: Tiffany & Co, Bloomingdales, Barney’s, Harrods, Top Shop, Chanel, Dior, L’Oreal, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, V Magazine and the V&A Museum. In 1998, he began working on a portfolio of portraits (from life) of some of the world’s most beautiful women, including Erin O’Connor, Paloma Picasso, Catherine Deneuve, Linda Evangelista, Carmen Dell'Orefice, Iman and Dita Von Teese.

David's illustrations are bundled in a beautiful book

Old french books I bought in a little book booth along the Seine in Paris.

I´m very happy with my thrift finds, la tour d´eiffel of glass, a little ceramic owl,

antique brush (comes i handy if you have dogs) a vintage silver plated toastrack

to hold letters, wandering papers and cards, a piece of coral branch painted in white.

The 2 lamps and the lucite tray with a map of london are from Zara home.

This my darlings, is my most favorite secret. It´s a Lampe Berger.

read about it here and search the nearest shop here.

It gives our home the most fantastic subtile smell, it kills germs, and the lamp looks nice and

 is available in many different models and there are so many perfumes as well.

My favorite is lavender at the moment.

Yes, autums makes me wear my boots and use umbrellas.

    I didn´t knew where to stash my magazines, so I made them part of the decoration
