Fashion Illustrators

STINA PERSSON

Stina Pearson is a fashion illustrator based in Stockholm, Sweden. Although she has studied in Toyko, Florence and New York. She works using multiple range of different media including watercolour, acrylic and ink, as well as incorporating images which she works over the top of. 

She is a based in Stockholm, Sweden. Her clients include Coca Cola, Absolut Vodka, Sony Music, DKNY, Vogue, and Marie Claire. The goal with her work is to make ugly prettier and the beautiful a little edgier. She creates the work by hand then scans the work on to a computer and digitally touches up making her images more glamorous. She has a very 60’s influence to her images.

I like her work as it is very dramatic. I like the way she knows

when to exercise more control in her work but also she knows when to show a bit more freedom. It is obvious this comes naturally to her is how she developed her own style. 

Her style is both vivid and elegant. She combines traditional styles with the edgy modern style and look to her illustrations. 

I love the way her work is displayed in a very glamorous way but also this edgy contrasting way which for me makes her work very interesting and beautiful. I like the way she combines digital media with normal artistic methods. 

AMELIA HEGARDT

Amelie Hegardt is a Swedish fashion illustrator based in London and Stockholm. She has attracted praise for her tightly rendered, doodle-like, overloaded indian ink and watercolour images which combine emotion and style in a very dramatic but edgy way. Hegardt has worked with a range of high-end cilents such as Japanese vogue, MAC cosmetics, Sephora and Harrods. She combines ink splashes, the fluidity of bleeding, watery ink to create a beautifully controlled fashion illustration. She completes the picture by adding a background in photoshop.

I love the bleeding ink and splashes of watercolour in her artwork this is definitely a trademark of her gorgeous fashion illustrations. I like the interesting marks that she makes as well has the way she composes the images. My favourite image above is the first one as the marks which create the dress are really interesting and I like the way the marks have created the garment. 

LUIS TINOCO

Mostly working in watercolor, Luis uses hard detailed lines mixed with soft background colors and shapes. He also incorporates graphic design elements when he has worked on advertisements for Nike and a few pieces done for Glamour Magazine.  One of my favorite elements of his work is the fact that

he uses recognizable faces such as celebrities but I like the way you don’t know that its them straight away as there is so much going on in the images.

I like the expressive marks that are uses to create the images as well as the detail in the faces of the people in the images. I also like the fact that the people in the images are celebrities but they have been displayed in a way were the celebrities aren’t the main focus of the image. I like his use of colour as the images are very bright and vivid but also have black and white to contrast this.
