David Downton was born in Kent, in the south of England in 1959. He studied at Canterbury ( Foundation year 1977- 1978) and Wolverhampton (BA hons illustration/graphics 1979-1981). In 1984 he moved to Brighton and began his illustration career. For the next 12 years - a period he describes as 'wagging my tail when the phone rang' - he worked on a wide variety of projects ranging from advertising and packaging to illustrating fiction, cook books and, occasionally, fashion.
In 1996, the
Financial Times commissioned him to draw at the couture shows and since then David has become known principally as a fashion illustrator. His reports from the shows have been seen internationally, in the US, China, Australia and the Middle East, as well as in almost every leading UK broadsheet and supplement.
I don´t know much fashion ilustrater , in reallity i just saw a pictures of an illustration by david downton and my first reaktion was making the illustration in my new blog, I can´t regrettably make fashion illustration of my own , but I would love to. I can´t draw proffessionel so I think you would never see in my blog an illustration make by my own ( maybe), but my imagination of drawing is really high and when I draw somethink i am really disappointed after .
