Today is the opening of a fashion illustration exhibition 
 (4pm - 8pm) at Gallery DIFFERENT, 14 Percy Street London. Participating illustrators are Alina Zamanova, Dorotea Pospihalj, Katarina Voloder, Orch Eratli and Nas Abraham.
 


As London prepares to honour the latest breed of designers, Fashionstyleology IS taking its own steps to honour both the current and upcoming breed of fashion illustrators to have joined the scene.
And how best than to host an exclusive exhibition, dedicated to showcasing their latest and most exciting creations.

Here we introduce you to our “One’s to Watch”;

Currently working as a fashion illustrator on commissions which combine different styles with her distinctive signature sketches.

Dorotea draws inspiration from social movements and modern society, whilst staying true to her European heritage. Her idea is to bring together cultural differences and tie them together with one common print. Her simple approach to design allows her pieces to be interpreted individually. http://dotpospihalj.tumblr.com

Known for his picture book style illustrations, Orch is quickly making himself known on the fashion scene.Orch was born in London but draws inspiration from the calm green surroundings of the British countryside which he visits twice a year.

His love of picture books has lead to his unique and distinct watercolour, ink style which he has been developing ever since he was old enough to grasp a pen and paper.

Nas Abraham
From the real-life animal sketches to edgy fashion drawings, Nas Abraham’s skills go beyond than just his illustrations. His ability to adapt himself and his beloved tools to the requested mood and environment make Nas one the most versatile illustrators to have made an impact on the scene in a long time.

A creative enthusiast and inspiration junkie. Multimedia graphic artist/ fashion illustrator by day, pretty much the same by night. He also sees a strong correlation between design and musicality.
