So Tuesday was the official Pre-Launch of Chic Sketch

for the fashion industry and press!  What is Chic Sketch you ask?

Chic Sketch is “The new and innovative mobile app that TURNS YOUR LATEST LOOK INTO A CUSTOM FASHION SKETCH that is obsessively instagramable!”

It all started when my amazing fiancé Jordan Edelson (the CEO, and founder of NYC’s leading Mobile Application Development agency, Appetizer Mobile) came to support me at my LIVE fashion illustration events at the gorgeous new retail store Bene Rialto off of 5^th Ave.  I would draw and draw all the fabulous industry insiders at the store’s launch parties, trunk shows and hottest happenings and he would see how thrilled the guests were when they received my 5 minute fashion illustrations!

They were such a hit, I was getting booked and booked at more events and creating masses of 5 minute illustrations for the lines of party-goers.

Jordan, being the creative entrepreneur that he is, said how can we recreate this to get it out to the masses?  And thus the idea for Chic Sketch was born.

Simply download the free app, submit a head-to-toe photo to show off your style and for $9.99 we will send your “latest look” to our team of fashion illustrators and create a Chic Sketch just for you!

Since your photo is being sent to a real live illustrator – your sketch will be one of a kind. No two sketches will be alike since each is made to order.  These hand drawn sketches will be created in a quick fashion illustration style, resulting in an original work of art that is created custom just for you.

Your image will be placed in line to be drawn and you can check back in the app anytime to see how many people are ahead of you.  If you don’t want to wait in line you can always upgrade to priority status and jump to the top 10% of all orders for a mere $4.99.

The perfect Valentines gift, for less than $10-$15 you can give the most custom gift ever and it doesn’t die like flowers or add to your calories like chocolate. Men, pay attention!

For the launch party, what better way than to team up with Appetizer Mobile to create this amazing app and Bene Rialto as the chicest venue to host it in.

We are so grateful to our sponsors Juice Press fresh juices, Aviv Vodka, Luluosophy Chocolates and Paula Hian’s Parisian dresses.

Now available in the Apple Store for iPhone and Google Play for Android, the Chic Sketch launch was a hit.

We had exciting interviews scheduled with Huffington Post and some of our favorite glossy  Magazines preceding the launch and the response was tremendous.

Here are two of the first articles:

More press to come – we are so excited … and YOU are so #Sketchworthy!

Hope that inspires you to keep focusing on your dreams and never give up.

Know that you can find the right team to make your visions a reality, and the right APP ( Chic Sketch) to turn your photos in to a fashion sketch!
