Daisy de Villeneuve is the type of artist that once you start to recognize her work you’ll see it everywhere.
Her illustrations have a unique child like quality to them: I just love them!!! She’s designed Topshop’s quirky shoeboxes, customized Moet & Chandon bottles for Colette’s 10th anniversary, designed for Nike, the V&A Museum, has published 2 books and has done hundreds of other things. Every month you’ll see her work in one of the major fashion magazines.
So it’s not surprising that the Gap featured her in their Autumn Winter campaign and she will also be in the Holiday 2008 campaign for Christmas!
I asked Daisy de Villeneuve, a true fashion industry insider for a quote to use during my Viktor & Rolf fashion talk at the Barbican.
In your opinion, what’s the best way for someone to create their own distinct personal style?
The best way for someone to create their own distinct personal style is to be unique. Be original in your clothing choices, do not follow trends as you can end up looking like everyone else. I always like to take inspiration from other decades & mix my clothing to include vintage, designer & high street.

I’m really looking forward to styling Harriet’s Muse’s show, Mind Your Manners. I’ve worked with Craig & Cheryl for several years and I just love what they do. Their Spring/Summer 09 collection is so beautiful and cool. The show’s only a few days away, it’s on Monday at Vauxhall Fashion Scout. It’s a challenge to make a new collection and create a fashion show. The whole team has been very busy and working all hours of the day and night. Well, designing is hard enough but about 2 weeks ago someone stole Craig’s car which had several new patterns and toiles in it. If that wasn’t stressful enough today the power went our for a couple of hours in Kingly Court while the team was sewing away. Of course no matter what, the collection will be finished and the show will look amazing! Can’t wait to show you the pics!!

My visit to Istanbul was great but way too short. The shoot day started at about 9am and I returned to my hotel room around 2:30am. It was a long but successful day. Sometimes it doesn’t matter how long you spend at a shoot when you get the right results you just feel so happy!
I spent some of the morning at Harvey Nichols and the rest of the day at the studio. I’d never worked with the team before so you never really know what it’s going to be like – fortunately it was great. I felt like I’d known & worked with this team forever and I can’t wait to go back! The Turkish are very warm and hospitable – so kind!!! We had several people from Harvey Nics, the advertising team, production and the creative team and lots of assistants -so quite a few people.
Things that I like about Istanbul – tea in glass cups without milk, lots of nuts & fruit at the shoot and the women are quite feminine and sexy – they all seem to be pedicured & manicured.
This is a picture of the hallway of the studio.
Our hair and make team were so sweet. I don’t speak Turkish and they didn’t speak very much English – that what’s great a about photography you don’t need language to have the same vision just lots of tear sheets & mood boards!
Once the shoot has been published I’ll tell you more about it and show you some images.
