NHG loves: Kat Macleod

I have long been a fan of Melbourne illustrator, Kat Macleod. Australian girls will recognise her work from one of the original Melbourne fashion blogs, Michi girl which launched in 2002, while everyone else may recognise her work from Australian cosmetics brand, Bloom.

Either way, Kat's work is in high demand both in Australia and overseas because of her lush mixture of fabrics, illustrations and unique materials such as sequins and beads, making her work stand out from other fashion illustrators.

You can purchase her limited editions prints now at Lamington Drive and I'm seriously considering purchasing New York Girl. To watch Kat's artistic process in action, see video below and for more of her work visit here*

I hope you love her work as much as I do. NHG x

*A complete coincidence but one of my favourite bloggers, The Design Files blogged about Kat's new book, Sequins & Sequence the day after I scheduled this post. Lucy from The Design Files regards herself as President of the Kat Macleod Appreciation Society. I'm personally a massive fan of both! Lucy has the ability to make me so homesick (in a positive way) with her stunning blog! Read article here.
