Fashion Illustrators hard at work during London fashion shows.

Nowadays with the latest technology and gadgets, almost everyone can call himself or herself a photographer.

A scene from a recent fashion show during London Fashion Week

The just-concluded London Fashion Week created plenty of occasions for all willing souls to capture every fashion moment with their modern devices.

However not everyone can qualify as a fashion illustrator, except for a few.  Spotted at the  Jamie We Huang fashion show was prize-winning illustrator Vivien Chan.  

Vivien, a Kingston University Illustration Animation BA(Hons) student, was earlier this year the runner-up at London's Victoria & Albert Museum Illustration Awards. Vivien had submitted three drawings based on fashion shows she attended during Fashion Scout shows last Spring.  As it was in that previous season, this September Vivien was once again given access to the catwalk and backstage of the Fashion Scout shows to create her own drawings, some of which are seen in the pictures above.

Vivien's recent work and projects are featured in her own blog.

Also busily creating sketches was celebrated illustrator Sue Dray, Course Leader BA (Hons) Fashion Illustration at London College of Fashion.

Miss Dray, in a grey sleeveless dress and sporting a black fascinator on her head, was spotted at the Hema Kaul catwalk show held at the Freemasons’ Hall near London's Covent Garden. 

A celebrity herself, Miss Dray's work can be seen in her own website.

Meanwhile designer and illustrator David Longshaw was on hand to give a live demonstration of his sketching skills on one of his garments at the trendy ME London hotel at the Strand.    

David also used the opportunity to launch his latest book “Eleanor and the Squirrel”.   A graduate of St Martin’s BA (Hons), RCA (MA), David was winner of the inaugural BFC/ELLE Talent Launch Pad.
