Tomboy Pretty

Fashion Illustrator Research

Based on the techniques used by master illustrator’s, this collection was created using preferred artist’s interpretations. Aitor Thurp and Linda Kline were the source inspiration for the six figure compositions. The styles used by these illustrators were carefully combined to explore their “vision” of technique, color stories, graphic elements and line quality.

Urban graffiti

Basquiat Inspired Menswear This mini collection was created after researching the American Punk movement and graffiti-art of the mid 80’s and their relationship with Jean Michel Basquiat art and life. The male figures were inspired by Basquiat’s visual appearance and his art. The use of images, patterns, color story and other visuals are representational of street art in contemporary urban fashion.
