We were recently reminded of the joys in fashion by Annie Naranian’s fashion illustrations. Though created digitally (using software like Illustrator, Photoshop, Procreate), Naranian’s illustrations have a hand-made, unfinished quality to them that’s well-intended. Through broad “brush strokes” and clashing patterns and prints, these illustrations highlight the carefree attitude that comes with a sense of confidence in self-expression. The overall attitude is playful, inspiring us to explore our wardrobe.

Based in Toronto, Canada, Naranian’s illustrations have caught the attention of huge names in the fashion world, attracting clients like Chanel, Marc Jacobs, and Reebok.

Her work process relies on intuition, as much as anything else: “Before I begin illustrating, my technical process begins with collecting images from Instagram, Pinterest, various fashion magazines, and Vogue.com,” she relayed once in an interview with I Love Illustration.

“My interest in vintage fashion can be seen reflected in my art, because I think much of contemporary fashion is indebted to what has come before it,” she further explains. “And it is that very connection my art seeks to explore: the ways in which the methods of contemporary fashion are related to or are different from the techniques of the past.”

With a nod to the past (as well as the future), Naranian’s illustrations are very much contemporary.

Her work, defined by intuitive lines, simplicity, and elegance, celebrates femininity in all its multitude and variety. Through it, Molenaar aims to contribute to a positive and empowering image of women as we strive for a better and more inclusive world.

“I believe everyone deserves equal opportunities in life, regardless of their gender,” said Molenaar in a recent interview with Form over Function. “But because I think we live in a world that favors men, I think it’s important to give women a voice or stage. That’s why I enjoy celebrating female qualities, such as softness and fluidity—which play an important part in my creative process.”

She explains that her mission is for her drawings to highlight the beauty of things that are usually covered or hidden. “As my personality developed over the years, so did my drawings,” explains Molenaar. “I evolved as a woman, learning and caring more about themes like sustainability and feminism. That personal shift of focus is clearly noticeable in my drawings.”

Her shift in attitude seems to have paid off, attracting collaboration with fashion brands as big as Dolce & Gabbana, Dior, Chloé, and M.A.C.

Her illustrations often focus on fashionable subjects, mostly women whose features are made to look exaggerated (big bulging eyes, an unnatural sheen to their skin). “Never draw to please others,” is Murialdo’s motto. “Only draw to please yourself.”

According to Murialdo, her growth as an illustrator hasn’t stopped after graduating. It also didn’t begin with her studies. “I have been drawing since I can remember,” she recalled in an interview with I Love Illustration. “I recall coming home from school and sketching long haired princesses with beautiful and improbably- voluminous over-wide-long dresses covered in flowers and ribbons.”

In her teens, she admits, she imagined becoming a fashion designer, but after realizing that fashion design was more than just drawing, she decided to lean into the more artistic side of it—combining both her passions into a career in fashion illustration. “I let my illustrative and artistic side to take over and I drifted into Illustration and Graphic Design,” she explains.

Nowadays, her clients include publications like Oxford Press and Elle UK. Scroll down to see some of her work.

But there’s another way to look at it – understanding fashion trends not as news items but as an art form. And as a form of art, fashion can be interpreted in other ways that aren’t restricted to just one particular medium. Following fashion illustrators is a great—and more importantly, inspiring—way of keeping up with recent trends.

A recent favorite of ours is fashion illustrator Esra Roise. A Norwegian freelance illustrator based in Oslo, her selected clients include VOGUE, Stella McCartney, Burberry, Estée Lauder, and NIKE, to name a few.

“I’ve been lucky enough to be graced with awesome clients that often let me play around with the given tasks, and just do my thing, which I very much enjoy,” she relayed in an interview with Artflakes, where she explained her work process. “But that being said, I try to accommodate the clients wish as much as I can without compromising my own aesthetic when working with a specific brief. With personal work, it is more of a spur of the moment-inpirations that can go in any which direction I chose.”

Inspired by everyday situations, the people around her, and the fashion industry and pop-culture in general, Roise’s creative process has a spontaneity to it that, in and of itself, reflects the spirit of fashion. “I often start doodling with no special direction and it just takes on a life of its own throughout the process,” she admits.

A creative way to stay updated on the most recent fashion trends is by following fashion and beauty illustrator Karolina Pawelczyk. Based in Poland, Pawelczyk presents the fashion colors —in all its clashing textures and prints—in a way that’s both approachable and funny. Her illustrated characters are portrayed as big-eyes, quirky-looking women, that sport colorful beachwear, hot couture, and outlandish festival looks.

“I have been drawing and painting my whole life,” relayed Pawelczyk in an interview with I Love Illustration, where she spoke about her creative upbringing, “After graduating I knew that I want to improve my drawing skills and I wanted to do it in the best possible place so I traveled to London and learned how to draw fashion at Central Saint Martins. The time I spent in London was amazing, super inspiring and it was the best thing I could do for myself.”

Nowadays, her drawing career includes exciting collaborations with global beauty brands, fashion designers, and magazines, with selected clients including Marc Jacobs Fragrances, Armani Beauty, Glamour Germany, ELLE Polska.

Inspired by jarring color combination, stylish girls, good music, Pinterest, movies, and naturally fashion, Pawelczyk’s illustrations will remind you of the joys of playing dress up (which is really what fashion should be all about).

Like most creatives, Ornias traces back her passion for the arts to her early childhood. “When I was 3 years old, I saw my aunt who was taking up architecture, painting a teardrop for her visual class,” she recalled in an interview with I Love Illustration. It was then, as she watched the way in which the brushstroke and oil color came to life, that the creative seeds were planted. “From then on, I fell in love with the arts especially painting,” she notes.

As a trained fashion designer with a background in architecture, Ornias’ styles tends to blend masculinity with a drop of romanticism. Her affair with writing came a little later, with her interest in branding most recent. “My poetry is about finding your authentic self, amidst chaos in this world,” she explains. “I hope it will inspire self- love and courage not to sell out the dream. Life is more than being liked.”

With her collaborative work, Ornias’ mission is to support intentional individualism and make a mark through the materials she puts forward. A fan of Jane Austin, Elizabeth Gilbert, Heston Blumenthal, and Rupi Kaur, her work will have you mystified.

With art, on the other hand, the relationship is more complicated. “My relationship with art is like most human relationships,” says Getrost. “Some days are driven by inspiration and I feel this incredible desire to express myself. The process is really my favorite part because I feel most at peace when creating. I live for those moments. And then I have days where I feel creatively blocked and I find myself questioning everything that I’m doing.”

But judging by her impressive clientele, she needn’t doubt herself. An internationally recognized artist, Getrost was named by Vogue as one of the fashion industry’s most in-demand illustrators, and has partnered with luxury brands ranging from Chanel and Dior to Esteé Lauder and Tiffany & Co.

With the subtle and artful twist of a brush, she creates a fantasy world where the women are irresistibly charismatic, beautiful deities. As such, her work has been covered by trend-setting publications including W. and Women’s Wear Daily. “My process changes depending on the project or piece,” she says, “but I like looking back at a piece and see the evolution from inspiration to concept to design.”

With a background steeped equally in studio art and vintage fashion, Getrost brings a distinctively classical vision to contemporary apparel. You’d want to see what the hype is all about:

Born in Italy, Lo Iacono took to drawing early on and recalls doodling inside his school books. His interest in fashion came later while studying for a Master’s in photography. He then moved from Italy to Paris where he worked for five years at a trend forecasting agency.

“This experience was extremely valuable,” he later told The Association of Illustrators, explaining that at the time he had no proper education in fashion but was very eager to learn. “It was an important period that paved the way to my career as an illustrator, as I met other creatives working for the same agency as freelancers,” he notes.

It was while working for the trend forecasting agency, that Lo Iacono opened a blog dedicated to fashion illustration. “Everything developed naturally from there,” he says. Jump forward some years later, and he’s now based in London where he works for some of the biggest fashion brands out there – brands like Dior, Fendi, and JW Anderson.

And with more than 50k fans on Instagram, you’d want to join in the hype.

Now a full-time fashion illustrator, her loose and funky characters, often based on runway looks, prove to be the embodiment of fashion. With her illustrations featured monthly on the VOGUE Greece‘s horoscope columns, as well as collaborations with giants like Pat McGrath, Marc Jacobs, Jeremy Scott, and Anna Sui, there’s no shortage of work for Dariah (and there’s also no shortage of clout).

“I don’t think I know the magic key to attract a client,” Dariah remarked in an interview with Freelance Wisdom. “However, I believe clients will always hire you because there is something unique about you. If they can hire someone else for doing the exact same thing, then they will. You have to naturally stand out.”

Aside from her editorial work, Dariah is also commissioned to do live illustrations. “I love live illustrating because you don’t have to overthink what you’re drawing – it’s very in the moment,” she says. “Also it’s great to see people’s instant reactions while you’re drawing, and when you finish drawing. Plus it’s great to draw in different environments. I think it’s a great way to make you a well rounded/well experienced illustrator.”

As such, her work addresses trends associated with ideas of female beauty, as well as celebrates the female form in all its diversity. Centered around fashionable representations of women, her portraits are intentionally exaggerated – with her women subjects looking a bit “off”.

Rupp’s use of oil paint allows her to thoroughly blend and layer the paint to achieve the effect she wants out of her work. Her smooth and delicate application of paint is juxtaposed with a bright, dramatic color palette, creating an exciting interplay of shadow and light that both draws attention to her subjects and maintains their enigmatic aura. In this way, she hopes the viewer can feel the physical and psychological tension between beauty and strangeness in the work without being limited to a single interpretation. “I’m creating a bend on a timeless subject matter, the female form, and also celebrating it,” says Rupp.

Her process begins by collecting images from fashion magazines and the internet, then distorting the photographic source in a way that gives her subjects a new or heightened identity. The result is playful but also – thought-provoking. Take a look for yourself:
