Thank You!

No one said getting your First Collection over the finish line was going to be easy... I definitely needed all the help and support I could get!

To say a BIG THANK YOU, I did a series of illustrations to give to the people that got me over the final hurdle.

LOTS OF LOVE to Emma Bradstreet and Luca Castrezzati, two very talented Fashion Students at Kingston University. I wish you the best of luck for the future, and your own collections!

Graduate Collection, First Public Preview!




As you might know already, I divide my time between being a Freelance Illustrator and a Fashion Design Student, (Graduate now!!)

I usually keep these works seperate from each other... but I thought I'd share my Graduate Collection on my blog :-)

It's set to showcase on the catwalk at Graduate Fashion Week... feel free to head down on 12th of June to watch the Kingston Show!

To view the rest of my Graduate Portfolio, visit my new website, www.vicriches.com!

Hello everyone! I am happy to announce that I have just finished my Degree in Fashion Design at Kingston University! For this reason, I have been able to restore some balance in my life... Expect many more blog posts from this point onward!

I should have put this up ages ago... the images above are from a commission I did for Condé Nast Brides (I put a quick preview a few months back) 

The artwork appears in an article in the May/June Issue.. grab it while it's still around!!

Happy Birthday Rob!


Today is my brother's 20th birthday! I was going to buy him something but he asked me to draw him Doom (formally MF Doom) instead. Rob also goes to Kingston University and studies Interior Design.

I had the pleasure of working with River Island again for their Spring/Summer 2012 in-store magazine! Here's a small preview of the illustrations I've been working on for them.

COS SS12 Look Book




Well I can't personally take the credit for Cos's latest Look Book Campaign... but! The music was created by my good friend, Fred Paginton of Youthfall. Fred is such a gent and showed so much interest in my work... and thoughtful enough to feature my illustrations his website, Kollektivnye. It seems only fair to spread the love of Youthfall on my humble blog in return. Check more of Fred out on the links provided!

Conde Nast Brides... A Very Small Preview


Between the long hours of designing and sewing my final collection,  I've been working on a commission for Conde Nast Brides Magazine. Without giving too much away, here is one of the illustrations I drew for part of the article!

It's always a pleasure to get involved with a new and challenging project... even when I've had to binge on Red Bull to keep the balance of being a Third Year Fashion Student and a Freelance Illustrator. Well... I guess anything is possible!

Look out for the full page spread in Conde Nast Brides Magazine in a few months time... will keep you posted!
