Fashion design graduate Natasha Itzcovitz has just launched her first colouring book. Featuring 100 hand-drawn illustrations, The Whimsical Fashion Colouring Book is packed with famous faces and contemporary styles that are certain to entertain all ages. We met Natasha to ask her a few questions.

Natasha-Itzcovitz-1

Why did you choose to study fashion design?

Natasha: Fashion has always been an obvious career choice that I haven’t had to think about. It is what I am best at and what I have always been obsessed with – I couldn’t work in any other industry!

How has your career progressed since graduation?

Honestly, it has been a hard journey and I’ve had to go through a lot, but it has been worth it. Since graduating three years ago, I went from having a degree to being an unpaid floor sweeper to working in retail…  and now I am an author and freelance stylist!Natasha-Itzcovitz-3

Where did the idea to create The Whimsical Fashion Colouring Book come from?

The idea of making my book came from seeing other colouring books whilst working in retail. I have been making colouring pages for my cousins for years but I had never thought to make a complete book of my own – until now!

Your drawings are wonderfully quirky – what has influenced your style?

Japan and Korea have a huge influence on my drawing and fashion style. I love anime and manga and I am constantly looking to these for inspiration. I also like to incorporate poses I learned from life drawing lessons at university.Natasha-Itzcovitz-2

Does your artwork reflect your personality?

Absolutely – most artists find it easier to express their personality with a pen rather than their mouth! I draw things that I see and daydream about, with an injection of cute, punky fun.

What are your plans for the future?

I am currently pursuing a career as a freelance fashion stylist and really enjoying it so far. I continue to draw every day and would love to do more with that in the future – hopefully another illustrated book is on the cards!

The Whimsical Fashion Colouring Book is available from Amazon for £8.99. Visit Natasha’s website here.
