I always look forward to getting my regular emails from Przemek Sobocki informing me of his work because a) I genuinely am a fan of his work and b) it makes me happy that he's getting more and more page space.  His latest work for Common Sense magazine spans 32 pages.  Hefty stuff for an illustrator.  Yes it is all SS08 stuff but it's still okay to indulge especially when the sales are beckoning (or have already started?) and some of this stuff might be in my grasp.  Based on female fantasies, fairytales, heroines and fictional characters, Sobocki has created a bit of an eye-feast, using the expected and the unexpected...

So we have the familiar fairy tales... Little Red Riding Hood (Blugirl) // Princess and the Pea (Moschino)   

We are bigging up the Disney... Pocahontas (Bottega Veneta) // Mulan (Fendi)

Films get a look-in with Dorothy from Wizard of Oz (Prada)

Modern characters also get some lovin'....Catwoman (Gucci)

Historical characters such as Cleopatra (Paula Ka) and Marie Antoinette (Lanvin)

Joan of Arc with a lot of Chanel sports gear

Then Sobocki goes a bit more specific with Audrey Hepburn characters like Princess Ann from Roman Holiday (Balenciaga) and Sabrina (Givenchy...naturally...)

It even goes a little obscure with Hiyao Miyazaki film characters like Mononoke (Nina Ricci) and Nausicaa (Diesel)

My favourite though is Ophelia (Miu Miu)...

and Thumbelina sitting beneath Sergio Rossi shoes...not because of Thumbelina but because the shoes are beauticious...
