Laura Laine

Her clients include Zara, Tommy Hilfiger, H&M, Iben Hoej, Daniel Palillo, The New York Times Magazine, Elle Girl, The Guardian, and Páp Magazine. 

She likes Edward Gorey and arry Clarke the most. Iconic black and white illustrations are amazingly beautiful and mesmerising. Even though all her works are done beautifully, it's still got an eccentric, dark, and aesthetic feeling. After working with photographer Nicolas Clerc for Muse magazine, he had inspired Laine to invent more colourful designs in her works.


Her works are incredibly fine and detailed line works,which suggest a many variety of textures, such as fur, silk, wool, leather, etc. Furthermore, there is a certain motion to her illustrations, which is shown by the gracefully twisted body postures and the gloriously flowing long hair of her characters.

She once said "Fashion is impressive I discover enormously inspiring and like to stay as an aspect of my work, but I have not at all be apologetic of giving up the genuine designing". She inspired on different things at different times, but more often the things related to fashion, style, and method of approaching fashion, journalism or art, painting, sculpture. Her drawing style is amazing, she simply makes working in her illustration, painting what she feels like at the moment. Recently it’s been twisted-bodied girls with a depressed attitude.
