There’s been a strong shift in today’s fashion publications. Where before the focus was on flashy, slick and overly-orchestrated photographs and images, today we’re seeing more variety in the visual realm.

Illustration is an important facet in fashion and style and not only for designers and sketches. We’re witnessing the growth in illustrations and some pretty damn cool ones at that. Capturing details the mechanical world forgets, the book “The Beautiful Illustrations for Fashion & Style” captures the importance of visual communication through illustration. Featuring artists such as Jules Julien, Makiko Sugawa and Piet Paris.

Jeder kennt dieses Phänomen: Manche Textzeilen in Songs empfinden wir als eine so unverrückbare Wahrheit, so treffend und passend, dass wir sie am liebsten in Stein meißeln und den Menschen als allgemein gültige Richtlinien für das Miteienander, den Umgang und als Lebensweisheit mitgeben würden.

Nicht gerade in Stein, aber trotzdem plakativ und aussagekräftig sind die Artworks von ‘Music Philosophy’. Eben die wichtigsten, einprägsamsten und stärksten Songtexte hat der Designer Mico zu Plakaten gemacht, die seine Leidenschaft für Musik und Typografie perfekt zum Ausdruck bringen. Fantastisch!

More than just your run-of-the-mill fashion photographer, Jean Francoise Lepage is more of an all around artist. Utilizing painting and film, the French photographer creates works that are better fit for a gallery wall than a teen style magazine. His extreme use of light, emphasis on bold colors and occasional addition of scribbly illustration is what makes his photographs stand out from others.

Creating images with power, the man even managed to capture supermodel diva Naomi Campbell, normally photographed as an image of perfection, in a state of distress (although she still looks fierce). His works are as inspiring as they are captivating.

Stilvolles Reisen durch die Metropoln der Welt geht am besten mit den schönen City Guides von Louis Vuitton, die vor kurzem erst ein Update für 2011 erfahren haben. Als Teil davon hat der kubanische Maler und Illustrator Ruben Toledo eine Postkartenserie gezeichnet, denn zum stilvollen Reisen gehört unbedingt die hohe Kunst des Grüßens aus der Ferne per Ansichtskarte! Toledo hat ganze 100 Karten entworfen, alle in schlichtem schwarz-weiß gehalten und mit jeweils nur einer weiteren Farbe coloriert. “My aim is to paint a portrait of a city and to draw out its special and eternal essence; to capture the unique tempo and character of each” sagt Toledo. Nun fehlt nur noch jemand, der uns romantische Texte für die Karten diktiert…
