East London born Fashion Illustrator Di Murphy brings a background in fine art installation to fashion.  Based in South London, been everywhere (via broadband) but loving London, here and now.

Sketching since the day she could pick up a pencil, she draws anything and everything related to fashion. . .inspired by clothes, the texture of fabric – especially on the human body, and picking up ideas from decadent interiors, her work embraces a handmade tactile quality with a touch of glamour and confidence.

In Di Murphy’s world, images are everywhere – drawings, sketches and illustrations; the archive is always growing.  Specific shots from magazines, web and photo’s are all distilled into her work.  Her studio is a home for pens, ink, spraypaint, screenprint, markers, pencils, chalk and charcoal amongst other materials.

The result. . . well-crafted images of strong lines selective colours, with combinations of unrefined textures and interweaving layers embracing ornate motifs and gothic fonts.
