THE ART OF FASHION ILLUSTRATION | PART 1: THE EMERGING MASTERS
Text
Good Advice
¹Fashion illustration has somehow
become this distinct category, but I
just see it as another form of illustra-
tion. I’d like to see more narrative in
fashion drawing. Stylists and photog-
raphers have so much fun hinting at
characters and stories through fashion
spreads, and anything is possible with
drawing—you don’t have to worry
about the budget and you can cast
whoever you want.º
Taylor recalls the advice she was
given by her tutor, artist Andrzej
3limowski, who passed it down from
his tutor, famed poster designer Hen-
ryk Tomaszewski. ¹3limowski used to
say ‘personal work is professional hy-
giene.’ If you don’t keep making your
own work along with your commis-
sions, your professional work becomes
dull. That’s very true.º Taylor believes
it’s important to look, read, and watch
as much as possible. ¹Aou don’t need
to worry about Åtting in with styles
that are already out there—focus
instead on developing your own visual
language.º
