York Fashion Week: Create a Look Book Workshop

We have a passion for fashion, and boy, did we share it at our latest workshop. We enabled local stylists, students and fashionistas to feel confident about style in collaboration with York Fashion Week and Fashion City York.

To celebrate the hotly anticipated fashion week, we invited guests to lovingly create their own look book to boost their creativity. Fashion can be a powerful self-reflection and we wanted to give people the power to express themselves through illustration and design.

Live Illustration for York Fashion Week at Marks & Spencer

York Fashion Week 2018 (by Fashion City York) was a stylish week-long festival celebrating fashion and creativity across one of our favourite cities, York. When we first discovered this, we were eager to get involved and it’s lovely to now be a part of the festivities! One way we’ve been contributing to the magic is through live illustration. We were delighted to be asked to illustrate portraits at the VIP Launch Party at Marks & Spencer.

Whilst at the party, we interacted with local bloggers, entrepreneurs, fashion designers, stylists, makeup artists... the list goes on and on! Everyone loved socialising and celebrating. Our live illustration offered respite for those in need of a sit down! Those that did sit with us, had a lovely experience receiving a bespoke portrait drawn by us live on the night. Our favourite part of the process is seeing the guests’ faces light up as they receive their illustrations.

Anthropologie x Buttercrumble: Happy Mail Workshop in Leeds

It was a joy to return to basics last Sunday and enjoy the love and effort which goes into writing an old-fashioned letter. We had the perfect workshop venue (Anthropologie, Leeds) and loveliest guests to collaborate with too!

By working with the creative lifestyle brand, Anthropologie, we created a supportive environment where participants penned letters that combined words, collage and illustration before securing in an equally beautiful envelope. Their happy mail was then ready to pop in the post!

Live Illustration at The Lord Mayor's Charity Shopping Event

Browns teamed up with York's Lord Mayor & Civic Party to host an exclusive evening of shopping, pampering and socialising in aid of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, Keep Your Pet and the Refugee Action York Charity.

We were thrilled to be invited to spend an evening browsing the latest SS18 fashion collections, see beauty demonstrations and, of course, illustrate lovely customers. We attended the event to gift guests with their own bespoke portraits and enhance their experience of the evening.
