Flowing; Fashion Illustration

Fashion illustrations are a form of art which have been a defining element in the world of fashion for many decades. From creating striking, bold looks, to using the beautiful illustrations as a way of breaking boundaries and creating new ‘norms’ in the world of art and fashion. Fashion illustrations can range form very technical details of garments, to intricate, beautiful expressions of art; which capture the ever changing world of fashion. Fashion illustrations have also been a physical representation of the different societal changes we face, expressed and visually represented through these stunning pieces of art.
