I came across these images in an Elle magazine some time ago. They struck me as being particularly elegant and unique so saved them for future reference.


The use of ink, watercolour and gouache is extremely effective and gives the impression that the images have been created from a few blots of ink that have bled out and merged together to form the image. The impressionistic style and simplicity, combined with the vivid colours are extremely effective in drawing attention to the form of the figures and the garments they're wearing. She says that her style is about "finding the right balance between the edgy and the elegant the raw and the beautiful." Her imagery has a querky appeal that works well for fashion illustration.

Her recent projects include the poster for the musical Billy Elliott, the cover for the magazine Flaunt and a summer campaign for Absolut Vodka.
