This festive season, I had the honour of offering live fashion illustrations for luxury brand events at Molton Brown’s annual Christmas party—an exclusive gathering of media professionals, influencers, and celebrities. Held at a luxurious central London Mayfair hotel, the event reflected the brand’s heritage of elegance and British sophistication.
Working live on A5 card specially customised for the event, I illustrated guests in real time using black Polychromos pencil, enhanced with carefully placed colourful accents. Each card was printed with the Molton Brown logo and featured illustrated fragrances from their holiday collection, making every portrait a festive keepsake with a strong brand connection.
Guests were delighted to sit for their bespoke fashion portraits, which I completed in just 7–10 minutes. This quick turnaround allowed me to draw throughout the evening, offering a steady flow of personalised experiences. The illustrations captured the spirit of the evening while giving each guest a unique, shareable memento. Many shared their portraits on social media, organically extending the reach of the Molton Brown celebration.
Providing live fashion illustrations for luxury brand events is a powerful way to elevate guest engagement, creating emotional connections and stylish content in real time. It was a pleasure to bring the artistry of fashion illustration to such a prestigious and festive event, celebrating Molton Brown’s signature scent, style, and seasonal sparkle.
