I HEART ART : LAURA LAINE

Finnish Fashion Illustrator Laura Laine has been a regular feature on my desktop wallpapers for a couple of years now and I thought, in case you hadn't been exposed to her beautiful work yet (shock horror!), I would share some this morning! Based in Helinksi, she studied Fashion Design before concentrating solely on Illustration and setting herself up as a full-time freelance artist. She has done commissions for places like H+M, Zara, Tommy Hilfiger and Viktor&Rolf. (and I believe she also teaches at a university sometimes)

Her work is always so detailed and shaded beautifully, Id be really interested in learning more about the methods she uses and what inspires her... hope you guys enjoy her work now as much as I do! take a look -

FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY : PHILIP RICHES

Photographer Philip Riches really captures an interesting depth in his photographs that invokes my imagination. I think his shots are beautiful, and what's better - he is an Aussie!

(Currently he is a judge on cycle 4 of Holland's Next Top Model.)

MASTER CLASS : VIKTOR & ROLF

Viktor & Rolf have a seemingly endless supply of amazing creativity and fresh ideas, love this editorial -‘The Amsterdam Chainsaw Massacre’ from the February 2010 issue of magazine Dazed & Confused.The shoot was styled by Katie Shillingford, and photographed by Josh Olins featuring model Magdalena Frackowiak.
