Downton.



Fashion imaging began in illustration...so its only fitting that Illustration is coming back around to revisit magazine covers and advertisements. David Downton is a famous illustrator from the UK who works along side the fashion industry and is commissioned by Major Design Labels and magazines to create his own interpretation of beautiful photographs. He is also known for drawing at the couture shows as well. I think his work is stunning and I especially love how many of the images feel somewhat undone. Its like he only includes the necessary details and leaves the rest out. In design, we call that Positive/Negative, where the negative space of the image is just as important as the actual positive space...This man is brilliant.
