This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bristol chapter.

Whether you’re looking for artistic inspiration, a funky print for your bedroom wall or simply like to fill your Instagram with fabulous fashion pics, here are 6 fashion illustrators that you must follow!

Blair Breitenstein @blairz

90.4k followers

New York based artist Breitenstein brings a cute 60’s and 70’s vibe to her illustrations, being recognised by the likes of Prada, Louis Vuitton and Gucci for her own quirky take on their catwalk looks and campaigns. Her expressionist style and use of layered watercolours and smudged lines creates a spontaneous feel to her illustrations.

Sean Ryan @badlydrawnmodels

77.2k followers

Ryan became in viral sensation with his quirky Instagram and Tumblr account Badly Drawn Models (he also has accounts under the names @badlydrawncelebrities, @badlydrawnrappers and @badlydrawnauthors). His simple black and white portraits are so bad they that have become good with countless models reposting and praising his work on Instagram!

Donald Robertson @drawbertson 

181k followers

Robertson’s distinctive style comes from his fantastic use of vivid colours and a variety of textures and techniques such as paint, graphite and creative use of collaging using scraps of metallic leather. We would all adore one of these up on our walls but with his most recent prints modelled from New York fashion week selling for $3,000-$4,500 they don’t come cheap!

Jenny Walton @jennymwalton

Fashion director of The Sartorialist, Walton’s Instagram if full of fabulous fashion inspiration from street style to illustrations to Walton’s own wardrobe. Her chic and simple style is reflected in her drawings making use of white space and rarely outlining her drawings to give them an urgent yet surprisingly detailed look; I can imagine her scribbling down quick sketches in between meetings or on her way to dinner in a yellow cab.

Inspired by fashion, dance and travel, Rodgers utilises a menagerie of materials to piece together her elegant illustrations. Working with pastel watercolours, beading, fabrics and even lipstick, she adds a subtly quirky edge to her pictures to document high fashion looks as she sees them with an overall delicate, ethereal feel.

As she states in her Instagram bio, Morrison is ‘traveling the world & illustrating the journey through a fashion-art lens’. She carries a more realistic style to her work with an amazing attention to detail. Morrison encapsulaties whole outfits in her designs, adding make up and accessories to many of her images drawn from watercolour pencil and pens.
