About Us
Flash back to NYFW September 2014, Emily was sketching live on paper at the grand opening for Bene Rialto, a boutique off Fifth Avenue in New York City. Jordan, Emily’s fiancé at the time (now husband) would come to support and saw how excited people got, the hour-long line and how people were taking photos of their sketch to share on social media. This first event lead to a flood of offers and new clients, but Emily was only one person and needed to scale this business. They knew there had to be a better way.
With an overwhelming demand, Jordan and Emily joined forces to marry Fashion and Technology and create Chic Sketch, the live event and mobile fashion illustration application we know today. With a team of US based fashion illustrators to sketch at hundreds of live events each year and a mobile application where users can submit their photos, get their own customized sketch and share it directly to social media, Chic Sketch brings fashion illustration to the masses!
