I am consistently on the prowl for fashion illustration that makes me pause, stare and…bookmark.  I am 100% one of those people that gets distracted by shiny pieces of plastic disguised as precious metal.  For your sake, I bookmark and revisit illustrations, in an effort to avoid a blog full of fleeting images and light text.  I probably did not need to re-visit the illustrations of Karina Belikova, her works are the real deal.

Ukrainian illustrator Karina Belikova‘s poignant illustrations are detailed, coloful, vivid compositions with the heart of a freehand capable of producing depth.  Beyond the model, the clothes, the trend, the look or the style, Belikova gives us the essence of a show or a photoshoot.  Belikova illustrates enough detail that you can look and go, “Aha, Armani Prive”, while simultaneously appreciating the presence of her own spin and interpretation.

I connected with Belikova a few weeks ago, in an effort to get her on board for our Haute Couture Fashion Week project.  It never ceases to amaze me how much Google translate lends a hand in communicating with people from around the world.  Timing did not quite work out for her to be a part of the collaboration.  However,  Belikova has been a great sport, created fashion illustrations based on Haute Couture week anyway and I am more than happy to share: these illustrations will be featured in the D2G Apparel shop.

Here’s a preview of her other illustrations including some from her Terry Richardson series and illustrations from past collections.
