Is it only me but have you noticed the way illustration on fashion is a thing for the coming season. I'm a regular supporter of London fashion Week and keep an eye what's going on further afield...
Let's start off with James Long and James Davison's transported work. James has been busy sketching away on the front rows this season but for James Davison his drawings became part of the fabric. Davison says he felt quite detached once he saw his artwork being worn. Personally I like the way artwork takes on another life away from the flatness of paper. ![]() |

For a/w 2015 Claire barrow, a prolific painter, created collection 'High Flyers'. Her signature work is key to her designs. She paints onto everything, leather, silk, prints and embroidery feature everywhere.
