It feels surreal but my very first illustration feature with
Dazed Digital is out now, they're the online companion to
Dazed & Confused magazine. I used to buy secondhand copies of i-D and Dazed magazines at the huge BMV bookstore in downtown Toronto during 1st year university and I used to leaf through them thinking how cooool are all these people? And then I'd carefully cut out my favourite pages and save them for collaging, but after 1st year university I ran out of money and stopped buying magazines and just bought food instead.
So needless to say I'm super excited to be working with Dazed for this Halloween feature, "If Fashion Week was a Horror Film".
There are 5 storyboards, with each image being it’s own story about the designer and their dark S/S 2014 collection:
1. Rei Kawakubo and her
Commes des Garcons girl gang.
2.
Marc Jacobs's
Louis Vuitton circus.
3. The
Maison Martin Marigela laboratory.
4.
Meadham Kirchhoff's heaven and hell.
5.
Thom Browne's mental asylum.
You can read more about the story and the illustrations on
