Laura is one of my favurite illustrators.She draws with pencils, ink and markers and finally retouch the image in Photoshop. I love her unique girly and fancy style of twisted-bodied and flowing-hair

girls.

For her the most important ingredient for being a fashion illustrator is a sense of wonder.Fanciful, good-humored and anxious are the expressions I know how to make use of relating Laura Laine’s fashion illustration works. Laura always loved to make drawings and felt comfortable designing costumes, during her studies; she made many exclusive fashion illustrations as a brilliant combination of love and interest I fashion. She did full-time job at the very beginning itself only because of her most interest in drawing.

  Laura likes the work of Edward Gorey and Harry Clarke the most. At first she used to work out the sketches in black & white color but nowadays she likes to invent more colorful designs. She had so much amusing working with photographer Nicolas Clerc for Muse magazine. They shared and took photos on accessory stories for the girls with various images

  Laura’s wonderful nature exists in a vague mean world of fashion, illustration and art. This was the susceptibility and capture of runny movement that creates Laura to do her work so admirable and outstanding. Laura works without help of others but as well as works in partnership with photographers, stylists and art directors.
Laura’s drawing style is great and not so conscious about; she simply makes working in her illustration, painting what she feels like at the moment. Recently it’s been twisted-bodied girls with a depressed attitude.

“Fashion is impressive I discover enormously inspiring and like to stay as an aspect of my work, but I have not at all be apologetic of giving up the genuine designing” is her very famous words

 

FASHION -Spiros Halaris

Spiros Halaris is a multi-disciplinary illustrator who has collaborated on major commercial projects with fashion houses and magazines whilst creating independently fine artworks that are translated in many different media.
  He started out as a graphic designer and then progressed, initially self-taught, into more illustrative fields.His inspirations vary greatly. he usually find inspiration in anything visually intriguing; a vase, a billboard or a button. In everyday life, graphics catch his eye more often than art. Graphics dominate our lives so chances are that there will be at least one inspiring or intriguing item in the daily pile of visual information that we consume.As a first step he will usually research thoroughly the subject that he want to illustrate. Then he will usually find a detail that grasps my attention and  will start from there.
 His style is a minimalist play of deconstructive elements that altogether construct a dramatic pop aesthetic with vibrant colours and graphics.he use digital tools but also some handmade elements
In his mind good graphic art should be bold, striking and memorable.
His studio looks like a newsagent’s because apart from the desk spaces, the rest of the area is filled with magazines and books that I’ve collected over the years.
He had the opportunity to collaborate with the Design Museum and the Christian Louboutin exhibition a couple of months ago and he really proud of the work that came out of it.
