When Fashion Illustration is well executed (drawn) it is ART ! And when an old master like multi-talented/fashion designer Wolfgang Joop, draws it is Art ! Wolfgang opens his new exhibition of fashion drawings in Berlin: an overview of 4 decades of fashion illustrations.
For Wolfgang Joop, art and fashion are most impressive when the objects have the spark of an old master, whom he studied extensively, and possess “an aura of unintentionalness; or the intention to be completely self-satisfied.” The French call this l’art pour l’art.

In the same style as the Louboutin Ad campaign, except here it is not fashion, but weapons. The Russian based illustration studio Geliographic decided to mix classic still life paintings, with modern weapons. An interesting mix that grabbed my attention!

Parisian artist Jeanne Detallante’s work has been featured in some of the most influential print magazines, including Vogue Italia, Vogue Japan, and GQ for her meticulously rendered illustrations. Living in New York for the past few years she has become even more of a global name in the art world. We are clearly fans of her commissioned fashion work that has been circulating the press but it is impossible to over look her other works which highlight her notion of highly developed concepts, like the Identity Thief featured above.
Bringing you the golden whisper of the New York Fashion week runways. Though I can not say I saw anything on the revolutionary tip, I was rather impressed with a handful of collection in their entirety.
I was blown away by the Julian Louie runway, the girls looked like gentle fashion illustrations dressed in perfectly tailored garments made with contrast paneling in a muted and soothing palette. Everything about the presentation was gorgeous. I was immersed in the drama behind the Temperley London girls. The collection and runway presentation carried an undeniable art nouveau chic. Equally bold was the collection of Proenza Schouler which was full of color and tribal inspired frocks. And as a final highlight, I was extremely fond of Ohne Titel’s silhouettes and graphic delivery. There are many other details to pay attention to when scrolling through this review, so look closely at the details.

House of Holland T-shirt design
London based illustrator and stylist Sophie Stephens has a humorous and unique take on today’s fashion and celebrities and no one is spared. Her t-shirts for House of Holland feature illustrations of Brit darling Alexa Chung complete with pumpkin, the witch hat and ivy, Terry Richardson covering himself with a prickly cactus, and Luella, looking rather provocative with arms up and bare chest. Even her final year guerilla art campaign project, entitled ‘Style makes me Sick’ pushed the boundaries. Stephens infiltrated Topshop changing rooms everyday with illustration saying “No More Heroes”, challenging what we think is fashionable and making us rethink how we put celebrities on pedestals. She is a force to be reckoned with! Stephens has done work for various magazines including Love, Fact and Know Magazine, and collaborated with Julian and Noel from The Mighty Boosh to make flyer. Her thoughts, work and ideas can be seen on her blog: http://blackpendiaries.blogspot.com/.
