Loved the casting @ CALVIN KLEIN. African-American guys in all black: Powerful! Love pink and orange together at BOTTEGA VENETA. Reminds me of Chinatown colors...
and we chatted while I sketched. I love Narciso's process of design-thought about shape, color, evolution from one season to the next. It's an artistic approach that I relate to.
Narciso's nominated for a CFDA's Womanwear Designer of the Year.
New York is an endless runway. Watching people is as compelling today as it was when I first moved here many years ago.
My design eye is informed by working with some of the best in the business - Calvin Klein, Bill Blass, Perry Ellis and Sean Combs. They taught me how to look at fabric, shape, color. I'm taking that knowledge and combining it with my love of illustration to record what I see around me - the vital and always changing style of guys in New York.
I am currently illustrating for In Style magazine, J Crew and 5 star luxury hotels as well as private commissions. Interested? Email me.
