Brush strokes and pencil lines that seem to dance on the page. There’s a lightness of being and a chiffon airiness that defies the logic of the static image. What is this sorcery? How can these beautiful still lives seem not so still at all? How is it achieved and more importantly, can it be learned?
Drawing Cabaret Couture is an avante-garde online Fashion Gallery and independent life drawing production company based in London.

About this event
“The Hourglass” is IA London’s 2nd collaboration with Janet Mayer and Matthew Lawrence of Drawing Cabaret Couture who will be joining the official London Fashion Week February 2021 schedule, proving that exceptional creativity survives and flourishes even in the most challenging of circumstances.
“We’re delighted to collaborate with IA London for the 2nd time, exploring our creative dialogue in-depth with a new direction and fresh creative vision.” Janet Mayer & Matthew Lawrence, Drawing Cabaret Couture co-founders.
“The Pandemic made us reconsider what are the important things in life and what we choose to spend our time on. IA London’s Fall 2021 “Hourglass” sharpens this reconsideration, by limiting the time to “as long as the Hourglass is ticking”.
Join us in this awe inspiring online drawing class as we explore the themes and designs of this incredible avant garde label. IA designs and manufacturers sustainable and ethically-made womenswear with a strong artistic identity. Modelled by Janet Mayer, built into a hand painted set design by Matthew Lawrence this is certainly not one to be missed.
