Meet this week's Pretty Bird, illustrator Liselotte Watkins. You may be familiar with her work, her pens are responsible for iconic collaborations with Miu Miu, Absolut, Marimekko/H&M, Valextra and Rodebjer. I first met her when we worked on a watch editorial for a magazine here in Milan. That was an awesome experience to say the least, and for our celebratory lunch she wore a vintage white fur chubby and high waist flare jeans (immediate crush!). Not long after that, she totally amazed me when she agreed to illustrate me for my Tamu's Diary on Grazia.it. I was so honored! I love that illustration so much, please see it below the interview. In the meantime, please join me in getting to know this amazingly stylish wife, mother and illustrator...
