WYRT creator, Brandon Graham, speaking with students at High School of Fashion Industries.
WouldYouRockThis.com creator Brandon Graham was invited to speak with students at the High School of Fashion Industries (HSFI) in New York of Friday. Ms Dahill, HSFI librarian, organized this event after meeting Brandon at the Andre Studios Fashion Illustration Digital Archive event in February. Ms Dahill connected Brandon with HSFI fashion illustration teacher, Mr. Carranza, to organize a presentation of WouldYouRockThis.com for his students. Not only did Brandon discuss WYRT, but he gave the students a list of resources that could point them in the right direction to becoming a better fashion illustrator. Mr. Carranza shared some of the pieces from his students’ last project where they had to illustrate accessories – what a talented class to say the least.
Kiamesha Smalls, WYRT Operations Mgr and alum of HSFI, also joined in on the presentation by sharing her experience applying to FIT after graduating from HSFI.

We completely forgot to post this memorable photo of our dinner with fashion illustrator Julie Johnson. Julie (far right) has had her artwork featured in galleries and you’ll find her work in the personal collection of Oprah Winfrey,
WYRT brand manger, Brandon Graham, organized this get-together of New York fashion illustrators at Arno Ristorante back in September. Brandon said, “I heard Julie was going to be in town for the Fashion Island Design Competition and I contacted her to see if she would like to meet with some of the WYRT Fashion Drawing Session members. It was great to hear how she has been able to make a career out of her passion. Julie is a true inspiration.”
Last year Julie started a blog called Drawing Fashion with tips and tricks for fashion illustrators. The blog will lead into a book to further expand on the subjects covered.
Would You Rock This? and Exude Magazine partnered this season to bring you coverage of the 2012 Fall/Winter Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. Members of the WYRT Fashion Drawing Session attended fashion shows at Lincoln Center and other locations throughout NYC to draw inspiration from some of the top and most anticipated collections being presented. Illustrators captured their own photo references to create 3 fashion illustrations inspired by the designer.

DRAWING FASHION: The Body is designed for teachers and students alike and focuses on an introduction to life drawing concepts as they relate to fashion drawing. Justine Limpus Parish, Associate Professor at Art Center College of Design, recreates her studio classes and class demonstrations on the pages of this book.
Building on basic figure drawing concepts, the book starts with the essence of a successful fashion drawing: gesture, and continues with individual chapters on fashion proportion, drawing the figure in three dimensions, and drawing body parts: heads, hands, feet, high heels, and the fashion leg. Every page is filled with drawings and illustrations to help students understand the concepts discussed. This book makes it easy to build your own fashion pose templates! You will also find links to additional demonstrations on her Blog and You Tube Channel for video demonstrations like this.
