I often see fashionshots that I like in magazines and when I check the byline to see who it’s by, it’s Ruven Afanador. He’s done so many great fashion series, and he is so versatile, he always seam to nail the shot to go with the styling.
See lots more of his portfolio.

I came across a series of covers for Australian Vogue today celebrating their 50 year anniversary. I think it’s quite a bold statement not to have a photo on the cover but instead have four diffeernt illustrations of Cate Blanchett done by illustrator David Downton. I think it’s retro and modern at the same time and therefore a wonderful reference to the anniversary.
See more work by David Downton.
A few other work specimens:
Have a look at French illustrator Cedric Rivrain. He does a lot of fashion illustrations and I think he might have a crush on Kate Moss. I love the very classic drawingstyle combined with touches of colour.

Pierre-Louis Mascia is a wonderful illustrator, his use of texture is really amazing be it typography or lace. I can’t find his own website, but I fell over his illustrations on his management’s website.

Also a quick shout out to the boys at Hello Monday who I met at Typo Berlin. They are a small agency based in Århus and they do all sorts of cool flashy tricks. Check out their site for Gudrun Gudrun, there is some really creative use of video and the site has won Hello Monday a proud FWA.
Be careful climbing those trees ya’ll!!
