Prominent Fashion Illustrators

Fashion Illustrators are fun, quirky and *gasp! fashion conscious! That’s what I used to think, but today I am not very sure which artist is a fashion illustrator, they all seem to create art and most of them do digital art for comic books, children illustrations and all the other inspirations that make their day. And I believe, to categorize any artist as a fashion illustrator just because ONE of their works was used for fashion is ridiculous. A true fashion illustrator, in my opinion live,drink and sleep fashion.

NYC Bendel’s Fashion Illustrator

Before becoming the house Illustrator for high-end retailer Henri Bendel, artist Izak Zenou whipped up breezy fashion sketches for clients including Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Chanel, Catherine Malandrino and Vera Wang.
Now he’s adding “stationery designer” to his C.V. with a new product line for online paper goods store Expressionery.com.
The collection, which includes notes, invitations, stationery and social calling cards, no doubt introduces Zenou’s spirited work to a whole new audience, while effectively giving his fans an affordable way to collect his work.
The artist designed more than 40 products for Expressionery, most of which borrow from previously existing fashion works. Sets of 25 folded notes are priced at $24.
“I selected the illustrations that I felt women could relate to and see themselves in,” said Zenou.
“I enjoy bringing a high fashion look to simple accessory items. It really dresses up your whole look. Since most of my products are only available at select retail locations, we felt that this was a great opportunity for more women to get to know the Izak girls.”
Zenou added that a line of school stationery he had previously designed laid the groundwork for him to take on this type of collaboration, noting, “This opportunity seemed like a natural extension of that.”
We’re excited to nab a few notecards and party invitations that don’t look like slices of a larger sheet of wallpaper — a stationery trend we’re eager to see peel off.

Book: “100 Years of Fashion Illustration”

December 31, 2010  |  Levent OZLER

A visual feast of 400 dazzling images, 100 Years of Fashion Illustration is a comprehensive survey of the genre over the last century.

The book also offers an overview of the development of fashion, as seen through the eyes of the greatest illustrators of the day.

Early in the century fashion illustration reflected new, liberating currents in art and culture, such as the exoticism of the Ballets Russes, while the postwar period saw inspiration from the great Parisian couturiers.

After the dominance of the celebrity fashion photographer in the ’60s, a new generation of illustrators emerged, embracing the medium of the computer, while many returned to more traditional techniques.
