Live Couture Fashion Illustration for Events

Rhonda Corley provides live fashion illustration at events, sketching guests in real time and creating personalized artwork they take home.

The experience becomes a natural part of the event—guests gather, watch, and leave with something meaningful and different from typical event entertainment.

A background in fashion illustration shapes each piece, with a focus on movement, proportion, and personal style. The result feels more like couture fashion illustration than a caricature.

Each sketch becomes a modern, wearable-feeling portrait that guests recognize as art, not novelty.

What Sets My Work Apart

With a background in fashion design and years of experience creating for brands and events such as Dior and Marriott Bonvoy, my approach mirrors the way collections are sketched in an atelier—elegant lines, thoughtful details, and an understanding of fabric, silhouette, and attitude.

Experiences I Create

My experiences exceed entertainment—an art experience with a fashion point of view, shaped by FIT training and real-world brand collaborations. Guests leave with a personal illustration that feels stylish, modern, and frame-worthy.

  • Guests are photographed and their style is transformed into fashion illustrations created live throughout the event. They return later to collect their finished sketch—an elegant, personalized artwork that captures the spirit of the celebration.

  • A sophisticated touch for client experiences and product moments, with sketches customized to include logos, themes, or campaign aesthetics.

  • Bridal showers, milestone parties, and intimate events enhanced with a creative experience guests talk about long after.

  • Detailed custom sketches created from photos for VIP gifts, thank-yous, or special projects when a couture finish is desired.
