Image Makers:
Cutting Edge Fashion Illustration Curated By Martin Dawber:
Mon-Thur 10am- 4pm/ Fri 10am-2pm
Fashion illustration in the 21st Century is currently basking in
a renaissance that embraces the latest creative media whilst cherishing
its rich resonant heritage. Fashion and its related images increasingly
flood into current media and culture.
Today’s new illustrators draw the clothes and paint the face
of contemporary life in a variety of styles and techniques that
echo breadth of this vibrant culture.
Concept drawings have become more accessible and consumer focused,
with imagery deriving from popular culture- from music videos, advertising
animation, and popular magazines.
Imagemakers presents the cream of contemporary illustration for
fashion, drawing together the work of an international selection
of the most exceptional emerging fashion illustrators across twelve
countries.
They represent the industries new wave- both conceptual and provocative;
their work bursts through the restrictions of conventional representations
of fashion.
For them it is no longer just about preserving the myth of the
blemish free image of fashion. They are out to rejuvenate the orthodox
consumer image.
