Fashion and illustration collide for Prada

James Jean for PradaLast year, I posted a report from the Baltimore Comic-Con, where artists James Jean and Paul Pope made some surprising announcements about plunging into the fashion world. After reading this great post on James Jean's deal with Prada, I decided to share a little more about his work.

As an illustrator myself, I'm a tremendous fan of Jean's work. He does the coverwork for one of my favorite comics, Fables, and I even have one of his signed sketches hanging in my bedroom. Although his paintings are great, his linework is what really blows me away. The fluidity and organic lines interweave until they form the most delicate figures. Just taking a look at his website is enough to show you why he was asked by Prada to create fabric and that huge mural that now envelopes the Soho Prada store.

This is just the start of the growing trend of having illustrators bring their work into fashion. Hint, hint... Versace, call me.

Indie Designer Interviews: Vinyl Wall Art

Vinyl Wall ArtI'm a big fan of all of the amazing independent designers out there. In an effort to get inside the mind of the indie designer and find out just what makes all of these creative types tick, I present to you an ongoing segment I call Indie Designer Interviews.

Today's interview is with illustrator, mother, and indie business owner Holly Jones, who runs Vinyl Wall Art along with her husband. These wall art decals are a fabulous inexpensive way to liven up a room, and Holly creates many different designs that range from kid-friendly to chic and sophisticated.

Tell me a little about yourself and your company. I worked 6 years as a designer & Illustrator for a major scrapbook company. Recently I quit to work at home so I could be with my two cute little girls. My husband and I started Vinyl Wall Art last July. I design all the wall art we sell.

What inspires your work? Fabric designs, greeting cards, children's clothing, everything I see!

Fifi Lapin is one fashionable rabbit

Part illustration blog, part fashion blog, part whimsy, the blog of Fifi Lapin, a couture-loving rabbit is one of the most adorable things I have ever seen. Fifi is the heiress to a carrot and lettuce fortune which allows her to indulge her love of the latest styles straight off the runway. Here she is in the latest Chloe, a dress I recently saw on Michelle Williams.

Fifi is also for sale on Etsy. $40 gets you an original Fifi drawing in your choice of fashion attire from Diane von Furstenberg, Prada, Luella, Marc Jacobs or many others. So cute!
