Mia Overgaard
By Jo Phillips
Mia Overgaard is a Danish fashion illustrator. A graduate of Danmarks Designskole and several private art schools (Copenhagen), Mia has studied art, illustration and fashion design. For the past five years, her work has revolved mostly around commercial and fashion illustration, which she also teaches from time to time at The Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Schools of Architecture, Design and Conservation. She depicts a whimsical and delicate universe which reflects her own dreamy nature. She creates realistic yet surreal, detailed illustrations of people and animals living in a dream-like universe – happy, beautiful creatures yet at times depicted with a shadow of melancholy across their faces.
Her clients include names such as Wall Street Journal, The Telegraph, Volkswagen, Neiman Marcus, Gap, ASOS.com, Taschen, Marie Claire and CosmoGIRL!
