fat bottomed girls

最近跟友人在計畫弄一些有關於生活設計的project
而一直反覆激發我的
就是這位多年的偶像 Julie Verhoeven的設計作品
我非常非常喜歡她的創作風格

她的插畫 最大的特色 就是帶點性裸露的女性插畫
線條頹廢慾望滿盈的眼神 以及女性象徵的裸身 高跟鞋等代表女性性感的元素
很隨意的筆觸 很像自然而然就傾瀉出來的作品 沒經過太多的潤飾
所以 很多人都說她是一個天才插畫家

之前注意她 是在the face的雜誌裡 發現她的插畫 很復古但又很現代
很難很確切的描述她的作品
於是我馬上開始注意她 收集她的東西
只要雜誌裡有她的畫 我就會珍藏
daze&confused的這張封面 讓我驚艷
不過後來這本雜誌被朋友借去未還 找不回來 我很難過
gas book 13期 是她的專集 當然馬上跨海從日本買回來收藏
收集擁有偶像的東西 其實是很開心的一件事

之後 知道她離開了the face的編輯部 開始了她的服裝設計領域
而且非常成功 知道最有名的就是跟LV有crossover的合作

http://www.clmus.com/ 很棒的網站 有她很多的作品

另外 我也很喜歡一個fashion design有關的website
http://www.showstudio.com 裡面也有她蠻多的作品

Julie Verhoeven has worked in numerous ways across fashion and design, from illustration to creative direction and design consultancy. She studied fashion at Medway College (now Kent Institute), graduating in 1987, and began her career as John Galliano's first design assistant. Verhoeven continued this role at Martine Sitbon, where she stayed for seven years as design consultant. Verhoeven's love of drawing is always at the heart of any commercial work she undertakes. In addition to creative direction for pop promos, record sleeve design and set design for advertising campaigns, she contributes regularly to publications including Dazed and Confused, Self Service, The Face and The Independent. Verhoeven has lectured at various universities including The Royal College of Art and Chelsea School of Art. She is currently a part-time tutor on the MA fashion at Central Saint Martin's College of Art and Design. Recent work includes a commission from Louis Vuitton to design a limited edition of accessories for Spring/Summer 2002. Julie Verhoeven designed several seasons of collections for the Italian brand Gibo.

後來發現 她的設計作品 受到70年代搖滾樂很大的影響
因為這一點 我又更加的喜愛她
她曾經在倫敦辦過一個個展 展覽的名稱就叫做 fat bottomed girls
這是queen的一首歌的歌名

Are you gonna take me home tonight (please)
All down beside that red firelight
Are you gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round
GET ON YOUR BIKES AND RIDE!

Oooh yeah oh yeah them fat bottomed girls
Fat bottomed girls
Yeah yeah yeah

Fat bottomed girls
Yes yes
