The reason Melanie started illustrating fashion, is that she wanted to capture the beauty of fashion items. How these items were presented, the details of craft, the shoes, the bags the beautiful clothes. But it’s more than only the designs. The atmosphere, inspiration, the story behind the collection.
If she captures a model on her paper, it’s not only about beauty. It’s a certain kind of look or strong appearance she likes to illustrate. Being active on instagram for several years, she developed a signature that is known for a dramatic, melancholic, unique and subtle style. Always a story included when she posts something new on instagram. Research is something she finds important and respectful to the designer. Writing is something she feels comfortable with. There is so much to talk about, so the idea was born to express her fashion-illustration talk here.
