Draw Me In Ms. Laine

I love both art and fashion. I also love cartoons (relevant I promise). So it's no surprise that I can be a little obsessed with fashion illustrations. They bring life to a two-dimensional concept and can inspire anyone from the designer who thought about it, to the patternmaker, and even to the viewer. 

And I am seriously DYING for these illustrations by Laura Laine. 

It's no surprise that this Helsinki illustrator has such a high profile client list that include Zara, H&M, Tommy Hilfiger, Elle Girl, Muse Magazine, and Vogue Nippon.

As some of you might know, I have a taste for the unusual and slightly sinister, and these illustrations have both while still looking incredibly chic. I'm loving the way she distorts the bodies of her figures but still keeping the proportions and essence of a woman.

I'm thinking about getting one of these as a tattoo...Hmmmm
