Who Run the World is inspired by the Chanel FW13 collection and four women who decided to
make the world go round; it has a medieval look.
Art Pop Inspired by the Celine SS14 collection. ¹Characters cross, hide, and reveal, forming a kind of artwork between paint strokes and color,º says Larrea.
Gerardo Larrea grew up attending
art classes at the Museum of Art
in Lima and remembers as a child
the fashion magazines his mother
read. The drawings, the colors, the
silhouettes—and, of course, the
fashion—captured his attention.
Although Larrea began creating
illustrations for advertisements
more than a decade ago, in 2011
he focused on a more deÅned
style for his illustrations. ¹In my
country fashion illustration is new
and not a big thing,º he says. Still,
his work has generated consid-
erable buzz for its graphic style,
thick lines, and use of color. ¹I
love color, vivid colors in particu-
lar. I love the happiness that color
brings to my work,º he says.
