Barbara in Paris





A fashion illustration i did last week of Barbara von Enger, walking the streets of Paris. Barbara is a painter as well as a hot fashion muse and her unique mix of  haute couture, vintage treasures, hip hop style and caribbean spirit is often photographed and posted by style bloggers, like Fred from "Easy fashion" and magazines such as VOGUE Italy 

The look i was drawing inspired me, because - yes, i love red and pink and her sleek, relaxed way of wearing it, as well as the way she carries her Baguette - like a Baguette-bag from Fendi!
Hope it adds a little french "Oh la la" to your day - can you smell café au laid and a warm croissant?

Drawing: Martina Voigt-Schmid

  10. Good evening precious friend!!

    I saw your comment today while I was at work and was unable to visit, but I am so glad I read your comment. My heart goes out to you as far as it can reach across the miles my dear, for this is a difficult time for you. I know what it feels like.....double: both my parents at the same time.

    Know you have people who care both near and very far....you are so special and I thank you for taking the time to visit, but just for being YOU. Keep me posted on what is going on....peace my friend. Anita
