I like to think of Fashion as self-expression, that is why Fashion Illustration in the form of drawing can be so exciting to work on! That is just a small side project for me, but I really enjoy using design in different disciplines. I don’t think it does any harm to know to design more. 

I have recently done a series of Illustration on Vogue magazine on my Instagram, @christine_official_design, which were the first ever fashion illustrations I made. I don’t plan on becoming a fashion designer ( or just yet), but understanding how to apply my skill to many industries - fashion, beauty, advertising, product design, video editing…etc.  is very beneficial. I think it makes  you develop better knowledge of the industry, better confidence when you work with various clients. Also if someone approaches you with a new design task, its always good to have more options - people want to see different examples, various skills and how you can apply your design thinking to any product! The more - the better! I still believe in being expert in one field and that can potentially bring you much more meaning, but trying new things in the beginning of your career can only bring you more experience for the future.

Ask me any questions on design on IG @christine_official_design & I will create a blog post  with my answers x
