Fashion Illustration

Here I am today for showing you some works of a great fashion illustrator of OUR TIME...
I always had a great fascination for drawing in particular for fashion illustration. As fashion designer I'm learning more and more to recognize value to this kind of artistic representation and now I was led to meet some great artists and their works. 
So among all the possible names of amazing artists I decided to write about a young female illustator of the presente days... Laura Laine.


She is from Helsinki and she studied fashion design at University of Art an Design Helsinki. Her passion is illustration so after she completing her studies she decided to work as a full-time freelance illustrator and also teaching fashion at the university.
All her works are absolutly stunning. The characters are very stylized, twisted and with long and flowing hairs, with different textures on the clothes (fur, silk, leather, etc.) and she use the minimal color palette.
For me it's a very beautiful and delicate work with a pinch of darkness and eccentric taste. Her illustrations are like a dive into a mystic and sinister atmosphere of feminine forms.

See you soon.

  1. Laura Laine, a nova geração de ilustradores de moda. É genial esta menina, o seu universo remete-me vezes sem conta para o universo do Tim Burton, gosto particularmente da fluidez da linha e do movimento impressos em cada ilustração.

  2. Já conhecia o trabalho dela antes de saber quem ela é. Geralmente olhava para as ilustrações sem pensar no autor, mas agora aprendi a dar atenção a isso também. Gracias ;) E sim a nina é especial e não é carcaça :P
