This Chinese New Year, I was honoured to create live fashion illustrations for a spectacular celebration hosted by 60 Curzon, a premium Mayfair housing development, in collaboration with the iconic Manolo Blahnik. Set in London’s prestigious Mayfair district known globally for its elegance and exclusivity, the event brought together high-end real estate, couture fashion, and live creative experiences.
Using Adobe Fresco on my iPad, I created custom fashion portraits in real time. Each piece was drawn with sleek black line work on a bespoke digital canvas co-branded with the Manolo Blahnik logo. Pops of bold red chosen to align with the festive symbolism of Chinese New Year, gave each portrait a vibrant, celebratory edge.
Guests, including developers, potential buyers, Curzon clients, and regular Manolo Blahnik shoppers, received their personalised illustrations within 7–10 minutes. Portraits were instantly Airdropped or emailed, allowing attendees to share them across social media immediately, making the art both memorable and shareable.
Alongside the live fashion illustration experience, the event featured a dramatic Chinese dragon performance, personalised Chinese lettering artworks, and an exclusive gifting experience for guests, including personal shopping with Manolo Blahnik.
Offering live fashion illustrations for luxury events is a powerful way to combine art, branding, and guest engagement—perfect for unforgettable celebrations like this one in Mayfair.
