Gemma O'Brien Fashion Artworks

A painting of wonderful Leon Dame opening the Maison Margiela Artisanal S/S 24 haute couture show in Paris in January 2024. The show opened with a Brassaï-inspired film directed by Britt Lloyd that transitioned seamlessly into a physical runway performance, for that is what this was, with body and garment working together with naturally considered poses and movements against a complimentary set, telling an evocative story. With every show, John Galliano and his team offer a different way of telling a story and this was sublime.

Gemma's oil painting of Temi received a FIDA commendation award. To find out more about the painting, click below.

Gemma was invited, along with other fashion illusttrators, by SHOWstudio to illustrate model Georgia Palmer wearing couture gowns styled by Anna Trevelyan in an interactive shoot directed by Nick Knight in conjunction with V Magazine. Click explore to view the interactive virtual experiences.
