Since New York Fashion Week
is set to kick off, what better way to celebrate with the way most collections
start out? I picked some of my favorite fashion illustrators that are on
Instagram that are sure to spark some inspiration.
Donald Robertson (@drawberston)- One of the most recently well-known fashion
illustrators, Robertson is the in-house illustrator for Estée Lauder. His illustrations are full of
fun and color. During New York Fashion Week in the fall, the NYC retail store Story showcased him as the artist of the
month, where he designed an array of merchandise in their store. I had the
chance to visit when I was there and was so mesmerized!

Jeanette Getrost (@jeanettegetrost)- Possibly one of my favorites, Getrost often records
her process of drawing on her Instagram page. Her drawings are often watercolor
based and take the exaggerated figure to a whole new level. The detail and
texture in her work is too cool.

Grace Caio
@grace_caio- Probably the most unique and innovative, Caio takes fashion
illustration to a new level with incorporating flower petals as a medium with
her work. Her feed is one that you will catch yourself endlessly scrolling.

Katie Rodgers
@paperfashion- Katie Rodgers uses a handful of mediums with her work including
watercolor, sequins, and even lipstick. Her work is very fluid and each piece is
more elaborate than the next.

Carly Kuhn
@thecartorialist- Carly Kuhn’s work has a different flare than the artists in
the rest of this countdown. I am all for quirky and cool, and Kuhn’s
illustrations do just that. They are very cartoon like, but pop in color and
style. Most of her illustrations are interpretations of designer’s works, along
with magazine spreads. Her work showcases her unique style, surely to grab more
people’s attention.
