One of our favourite fashion illustrators: RUBEN TOLEDO

If we talk about fashion illustration, we must mention Ruben Toledo. His work is so balanced and so forward-thinking that we cannot ignore him; we simply adore him! Ruben was born in Havana, Cuba in 1961 and is at once a painter, sculptor, illustrator, fashion chronicler and critic, and surrealist. He has also created witty and incisive illustrations for the top fashion magazines and journals from around the world, among them The New Yorker, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Town & Country, Paper, Visionaire, Interview and The New York Times. Additionally, he is the illustrator of Nordstrom’s national designer ad campaign. Toledo’s work has been on exhibit throughout the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Enjoy the works, and smile, as the world is colourful and funny.

Depressed fashion illustration by Natalia Grosner

cortesy of Trendhunter.com We hate depressive fashion and depressive, negative look. We always ask our models either in fashion shows or at shootings to laugh and radiance. Natalia Grosner is a Toronto-based art director, illustrator and print artist who creates works that are undeniably beautiful. Even though these featured drawings look majorly depressed, they are still too cute to ignore. By combining watercolor with screen-printing, Grosner creates prints that are each unique and interesting, with subtle differences throughout the series. This is what makes these illustrations so special and it is also the reason why they stand out so vividly.
