Fashion Illustration: Alber Elbaz

What is not to love about this fab short video – go to Youtube for more – illustrating the imminent and upcoming Alber Elbaz & Lancome Collaboration?

Plus Size Revamp: I Dare To Be

One of my favourite plus-size websites has had a revamp: I Dare To Be. There is all still a little too much black background on it for my personal taste which runs more to the paler shades of white and grey for web site design and look but, functionally, it is much better, easier, smoother, […]
