Fashion Drawing @Shop from Crisis Peckham & Elyse Blackshaw

Fashion Illustrator Elyse Blackshaw Collaborates with Shop from Crisis Peckham to Promote Fashion to End Homelessness 

Elyse Blackshaw, a graduate of the Royal College of Art, joins forces with Shop from Crisis Peckham to create an inspiring window installation that champions fashion as a means to combat homelessness. This collaboration has been made possible through the generous sponsorship of Captain Cyan, the UK’s fastest Large Custom Poster Printing business located in Elephant and Castle.

In celebration of the launch of their collaboration with Shop from Crisis Peckham, Elyse Blackshaw will be hosting an in-store fashion drawing workshops on Saturday 1^st and Sunday 2^nd July at 11.30am-12.30pm. Participants will be provided all the necessary materials kindly supported by Winsor and Newton, a leading art supplies company. Additionally, Elyse will be interacting with customers by illustrating coffee cups at the in-store cafe, adding a touch of creativity to the local’s everyday experience.

With a focus on utilising fashion illustrations to promote sustainability, Elyse Blackshaw has designed and illustrated a captivating window installation using Procreate. The artwork will be expertly printed by Captain Cyan, employing printed Eco-Flex, an environmentally-friendly and fully-recyclable material. The window installation is set to debut on Monday 26^th June and will be accompanied by a series of exciting in-store events.

To enrich the immersive shopping experience and reinforce our commitment to ending homelessness, Elyse Blackshaw has crafted striking fashion props using repurposed cardboard, each hand painted. These props will be available for customers to play with in the changing rooms, inviting customers to interact with and appreciate the store’s offerings while highlighting the transformative potential of every purchase in our collective mission to combat homelessness.

Shop from Crisis Peckham, known for its commitment to ending homelessness, is excited to collaborate with Elyse Blackshaw and Captain Cyan to showcase the power of fashion and art in making a positive impact on society. This unique window installation serves as a testament to their shared vision of a more sustainable and inclusive world.

Tickets can be found here. No drawing experience is needed and all materials will be provided. Please note there is limited availability. The workshop is open to all.
