On Mondays we all need a bit of a pick me up. For us today it was the bright pop of fashion illustrations by Berlin-based artist and photographer Sabine Pieper. While the figures in many fashion illustrations come off flat, intended to emphasize a dress or look more than the person wearing it, Pieper employs mixed media and a skilled hand turn her “models” into full-on characters. They have so much depth you almost want to meet them. She is best known for illustrating the column “Mademoiselle: Confessions of an Elle girl” for Elle UK. See more of her work on her blog.
