Kate Spade has just opened a shiny new store in Pacific Place shopping mall in Hong Kong, and I was asked to be a guest artist at the opening party. I drew sketches of the customers and VIPs (who had each been given a fabric flower to wear for the event), and gave them to everyone to keep as a souvenir gift.
It was fun! I kept the portraits light, pretty, and in the style of the evening. Each one had a dash of watercolour red and pink for the flowers, and took under five minutes to complete. I think most of the guests were happy with their pictures…
I had expected it to be mostly women, but alot of men sat for me also, which was great.
There were a few local celebrities there, and I even drew a portrait for Stephy, a canto-pop singer.
Check out all the HK stores (ifc, Harbour City & Elements, as well as PP) if you’re into super nice handbags and accessories!
