Dots[Connection]: Happy Birthday!

Here comes the weekly Draw A Dot. recap!

January 7th marked the 1st anniversary of Draw A Dot. and on that day, I launched a special project called The Orange Dot Project. I invited 4 illustrators to each create an illustration based on the signature orange dot and a sound track. This piece below is done by Helen Huang. [Read Here]

If you like the S/S 2013 Alexander McQueen collection, then you are going to love these amazing illustrations by Joseph Larkowsky! The details of these few illustrations are done flawlessly and I always like how Joseph's works can truly reflect the vibe of the collection. [Read Here]

Graphic[Mashup]: Round 5

This week, I found 3 awesome fashion illustrations and I just want to share them with you.

Flavio Melchiorre

This image is featured in the Commons&Sense n°43 and it is all about the Fendi F/W 2012 collection. I really like the composition of it and if you look closely, you can see a lot of iconic items from this sesaon in this particular illustration. Bravo work Flavio!

Liselotte Watkins

This image is also from the latest issue of Commons&Sense and Liselotte has created 2 illustrations based on the Louis Vuitton F/W 2012 collection. Once again, I am in love with this collection so putting it into illustration simply suits my taste.

J. Larkowsky

I actually didn't see a lot of Givenchy F/W 2012 illustrations this season so I am so glad Joseph has decided to do it. I really like these 3 dresses so seeing them in illustration is definitely a treat! Nicely done!

Graphic[Mashup]: Round 4

Time for another round up!

Spiros Halaris

Spiros has recently collaborated with Revlon to create 2 illustrations for its 80th anniversary. I really like this piece below because of the striking colours and the expression of the model. You can click here for more information about this project.

Lena Ker

Lena is a fashion illustrator I recently came across online. I really like her realistic illustrations and the latest piece she created is inspired by the Jean Paul Caultier S/S 2013 collection. To me, this is a perfect image!

Laura Laine

If you are a fan of fashion illustration, you should be familiar with Laura Laine. I think this illustration is brilliant as it combines the gold ring and her signature character. I think this combination is a perfect fit.

Roberto Sánchez

Roberto illustrated a very whimsical image this time and it is from the Thom Browne S/S 2013 collection. I really like the details of this image and it will be cool if he can illustrate a piece inspired by the men's collection as well (with the whales!).

Sunny Gu

For this week, Sunny has released a new fashion illustration based on the Christian Dior S/S 2013 collection. I still remember when I first looked at this collection, this iridescent floral dress was one of the pieces instantly caught my eyes. I really like the illustration version of it as it truly reflects the vibe of this dress!

Jennifer Lilya

Christmas is almost here and Jennifer is bringing some holiday cheers to all of us.  I really like this stylish Mrs. Santa Clause and if you like her too, you can purchase this image as a greeting card!

Graphic[Mashup]: Round 1

Throughout these years, I have been introducing different illustrators and their works to you and I am sure you have your favourites. Back in the days, I did want to show you more of their works but some of the times they didn't have enough images for an entry. Because of that, starting from now, I am going to have a weekly section to showcase works by some of the illustrators I have featured before on here or/and on Swide.

Welcome to Graphic[Mashup].

Roberto Sanchez

Just like Roberto, when I think of Alexander McQueen, the 2 feather pieces from F/W 2009 collection will always come into mind. I think these 2 pieces Roberto illustrated can reflect the playfulness of the clothing pieces.

Cirque de papier

Comme des Garçons F/W 2012 is a very cool collection as the clothes are in 2D form. Juni is wearing one of my favourite dresses from this collection and she looks so cute in it. 

J.Larkowsky

 It's a given that J.Larkowsky's illustrations always excite me. This time, he has illustrated the Alexander McQueen S/S 2007 collection and I really love the details of this dress.

Spiros Halaris

Spiros has recently illustrated this piece featuring Prada's S/S 2013 collection. While I am still not a big fan of this collection, I can see why illustrators are in love with it because there are so many creative ideas they can do to enhance the collection.

Sunny Gu

A very playful illustration by Sunny Gu. I love the Moschino S/S 2013 piece and also, the flowers that create the dress. This makes me think of summer and I can't wait for it to come back.

Cristian Grossi

Cristian has just created some Christmas ornaments for people to download and I love them very much. They are whimsical and contain the aesthetic of Cristian's illustration style. You can click here to download the ornaments!

Graphicology: Fashion Illustrations by J.Larkowsky

Joseph Larkowsky is a fashion illustrator I have admired for quite some time now and today, I just want to show you some of his recent works.

Dolce & Gabbana F/W 2012

Larkowsky likes to focus on the details of the garments so he always keeps his figures clean and simple. His illustrations give the views a new dimension on the clothes as he likes to uses his skills to "describe" how the garments should feel like in real life.

As a Swide by Dolce & Gabbana contributor, I can't help but fall in love with his Dolce & Gabbana F/W 2012 illustrations. I really hope one day I will have the chance to work with this talented illustrator.

If you want to see more of Larkowsky's works with his detailed descriptions, please visit his tumblr and visit his official website as well.
