Loving these amazing fashion illustrations by the talented Aksiniya of Artaksiniya - be sure to check her blog for more gorgeous images. Her quirky and original paintings and drawings bring such a great spirit to the pieces. Above: Nathan Jenden - loving this dress, which reminds me of origiami and sweet wrappers. Delicious! Below: Miu Miu shoes, too cute.
Above: John Galliano. Below: Prada. Don't you love those foxy curvy mamas?
The last image some of you may recognise as the brilliant blogger Susie Bubble of Style Bubble. I can only hope that one day Aksiniya will draw me!
Hooray for the larger ladies! I'm certainly not saying one shape is better than the other, but it's definitely nice to see all types of women celebrated including ones that look like myself! I remember reading about one woman studying fashion illustration in America and how she was actually downgraded when she drew fuller figures, which is really sad.
These are beautiful pictures though. I'll keep my fingers crossed that she draws you one day x

It's true that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and it's good to see people celebrating that - especially when it ends in such beautiful results.
Thanks, Lauren! x
