Illustrating Erdem at London Fashion Week with Alessandra Genualdo

Every time illustrator Alessandra Genualdo (@agenualdo) takes her English setter for a walk at home in London, she collects twigs, sprigs, pine needles and wildflowers along the way. “I always need to be surrounded by something that I find inspiring and comforting,” says Alessandra. The ritual offers a fresh perspective to her work. “The characters in my illustrations are always connected with nature in some way, either by wearing floral patterns or by having some greenery in the background.” On Monday, Alessandra illustrated the Erdem (@erdemlondon) fashion show during London Fashion Week. “I love the element of nostalgia in Erdem’s pieces, and of course the beautiful floral patterns,” she says. “They translate perfectly into an illustration or a painting.”
