Kime Buzzelli, is one of the fashion illustrators who has inspired me for a long time, I am not overly keen on heavy CAD generated illustrations so her mixed media methods are perfect for my taste! Buzzelli was a major influence in producing my graduate collection. Buzzelli has been experimenting with various media to "transform the hideous into something with glamour." Her choice of materials are as diverse as, make up, watercolour, thread, fabric and a variety of decomposing materials. Buzzelli confesses she is obsessed with lost innocence, teen lust - that making out in a back seat kinda feeling. Amazing inspiration for her illustrations and she captures it well, and I'm thinking the perfect soundtrack to all this must be Katy Perry's latest album Teenage Dream, with adolescent gems such as 'Last Friday Night' and 'The One that got Away'.
Not only is Kime Buzzelli producing these amazing illustrations and commissions, since 2009 she has been the Costume Designer for US teen drama (and my biggest guilty pleasure) '90210'. Surely the most 'unreal' job like ever?! She also owns and runs iconic shop 'Showpony' in L.A.
Buzzelli's work and career is sure one to watch.
