Maison Margiela S/S 20

Fashion Illustration, 2021

Project Overview

As an avid admirer of Galliano's work, this speculative editorial project presented an excellent opportunity to merge the colours and textures from the runway show with my unique perspective as an illustrator. Through this project, I uncovered a newfound passion for fashion illustration.

It is immensely rewarding to reinterpret a piece from a world-renowned brand, allowing my creative essence to shine while respecting and honouring the original vision set forth by the art director.

The following illustrations draw inspiration from the S/S 2020 Womenswear Maison Margiela show, employing crayons and coloured pencils to express the creativity and emotions conveyed through my observations of the catwalk.
