Lyst X Sunny Gu : Give Christmas Angels a Fashion Update

Forget your classic tree-topper, I am honored to working with the lovely Lyst team to give the traditional holiday angel a fashionable update for the holiday season. With Christmas fast approaching, Lyst team commissioned me to create festive angels inspired by five of our favorite labels: Givenchy, Moschino, Proenza Schouler, Tibi and Matthew Williamson. And best of all, you can dress just like angel: each of them are wearing fully shoppable outfits.

I wanted the angels to bring to life the iconic outfit elements that represent each of these five amazing designers. Each of the angels has a unique personality, from the Givenchy gothic-punk angel to the very contemporary Tibi angel in jeans and shearling. The wings were the most challenging part of these illustrations as I wanted to incorporate the exact colors and patterns from collection pieces. I love the end result; the wing silhouettes serve to unify the whole series.
