Fashion Illustration Project

Despite its title, this project was not strictly fashion-related and could be anything you wanted as long as it had a concept behind it. I chose something that interests me which is old movie stars such as Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Bridget Bardot, Sophia Loren and Elizabeth Taylor. I took their celebrity status and challenged it, asking the question: would these stars be stars without what made them a star in the first place? Their looks and features which make them recognisable worldwide.

Each illustration was created free-hand and then put into Illustrator and Photoshop to distort the features and give me the opportunity to experiment.
