Elevating the Luxury Experience: A Live Illustrator in Toronto for Burberry at Yorkdale
/What an absolute thrill! Yesterday, I had the incredible pleasure of partnering with the iconic luxury brand Burberry as their live fashion illustrator at their beautiful Yorkdale boutique right here in Toronto.
This in-store activation was all about celebrating the client and their new purchase. The mission was clear: make the product the hero of the sketch. It was a joy to gift clients a custom illustration of themselves with their newly acquired trench coats, signature scarves, and other classic Burberry pieces—capturing that iconic plaid design in real-time!
The Reaction: Modern, Clean & High-Quality Sketches
I'm so happy to report that the feedback was simply amazing. Clients were overjoyed with their custom sketches. They frequently commented on the "likability" of the illustrations and loved the modern, clean, and chic style I bring to my work.
For a live illustrator, especially at a fashion event, it's not just about drawing quickly—it's about capturing a likeness and a feeling that resonates with the client and the brand.
The Process: Copic Markers & Luxury Branding
For this event, the Burberry team requested the vibrant, high-energy medium of markers. It was the perfect opportunity to dust off my beloved Copic markers and let the colours flow!
Every sketch was created on gorgeous, custom paper provided by Burberry. Having the brand's logo on the page instantly elevated the artwork into a luxury keepsake. It was the perfect marriage of materials, and I was proud to deliver high-quality sketches that aligned perfectly with Burberry's world-class standards.
A huge thank you to the entire Burberry team for having me. It was a pleasure to help create such a memorable and elevated shopping experience for your clients.
