Live Sketch for AQUA x Ava Phillippe Launch Event at Bloomingdales CA

I’m honor to live sketch for Aqua x Ava Phillippe’s collaboration launch event at Bloomingdales Century City in Los Angeles! I worked Ava’s team before the event and Ava created the stationery design (how cute!).
As the collection is fun yet so beautiful, all the customers were stocked to try them on and purchased.

Below are some of the portrait drawings I live sketched at the event.

Most of the customers I live sketched were wearing the collaboration pieces! Do you see I added their pet (dog and cat) on the portrait drawings :)

It was such a fun event and I enjoyed drawing beautiful dresses! You should check the collection out if you haven’t!
