Zoren Gold and Minori Murakami have updated their unique body of photography work with more colorful, pop-fashion images of attractive and elaborately costumed and sometimes rather completely uncostumed models.
Pavel Bolo is a Tel Aviv based photographer with a fashion-inspired body of work. Bolo turns that fashion inspiration into art while still managing to push himself outside his comfort zone into more contemporary imagery.
Lina Ekstrand is a freelance illustrator who splits her time between Sweden and Berlin. In the last few years she has lived and worked in London, Sweden, Mexico and New York. At one point she held an internship at Vault 49. Her work is largely inspired by fashion and she has illustrated for several fashion industry publications.
Australian fashion photographer Thom Kerr has updated with what I guess could be described as a different kind of website. His unique brand of humor and levity towards his chosen profession comes shining through in the setup of his new site. Kerr initially graduated with a degree in film working in production design and wardrobe before finally stepping behind the lens to find his true calling.
Montreal based graphic design student Sofia Ajram’s fashion-inspired photography could in many instances be described as cosmically psychedelic. She began her career as a photographer when she was hired by Truth Explosion Magazine in 2007 as a concert photographer. Since then her work has graced publications such as Poetic Terrorism, Carpaccio Magazine, C-O-M-A Magazine, Vellum Online, EnRoute Magazine, Mossless Magazine, and Antler Magazine.

I am inspired today by this series of fashion photographs entitled ‘Sea Creatures‘ from the photography partnership of Anoush Abrar & Aimée Hoving.
Have a look through the soft, subtle, sexy and composed fashion-inspired photography portfolio of the very talented New York based image maker Jonathan Waiter.
I have previously featured the work of artist Kora Krit but I believe this may be a new website showcasing some of his very unusual and original clothing. Either way, his fascinating t-shirt designs are still worth a second look.
A little more about the artist:
“Previously known as “Pissingsquirrel”, “Kora-Krit” is a collection of tees, hoodies and fashion items made by Korakrit Arunanondchai. Korakrit loves having fun and hopes that people who wear his inventions will feel the same too.”
Poketo was once a fun project in collaborating with artists and designers to produce wallets has evolved into a more robust fashion brand. They just relaunched a new website this week with some new and good looking goods in stock.
22-year-old Brisbane based illustrator and motionographer Dave Collinson has some charming, retro-twinged and fashion-inspired work in his portfolio. He is a very young illustrator with a mature style already firmly in place.
French photographer Adeline Mai is still in her very early twenties and already capturing some gorgeous fashion and sometimes surreal dreamlike imagery that is well beyond her years. Personally, I am a huge fan of her underwater series. One can only imagine all the places she will go with such talent.
New York-based Graphic Designer, Art Director and Photographer Irwin Tobias Matutina has a small but highly considered body of commercial work as well as some striking images in his personal cache.
The Hague-based photographer Anouk Morgan has some beautiful imagery in her portfolio. She prefers natural light when capturing her subjects. You can see her work via her website here and more at Bentrovatoblog.
Here is what the newly launched French clothing brand La Painthouse has to say for itself:
“Each line of clothing is based on 3 ingredients:
-A basic theme (for this first season, our inspiration was the crisis as a result of an inefficient monetary system).
-A critical interpretation or artistic vision of that theme
-The use of a high quality cotton and print for an edgy top-notch end result.”
Beyond that what you need to know is that the shirts have been designed by the likes of Evil Design, Jean Spezial, Jon Burgerman, Nate Williams and Shin Tanaka. They aren’t cheap to purchase but they are definitely some well designed tees.
Dripping in Fat is a small focused company committed to a high level of quality when it comes to the design and production of their unique collection of tees. Personally, I really like the tees but the display of the product via the website really makes Dripping in Fat hard to ignore. It’s a brilliant way to exhibit their wares.
Fail-ure is a new brand that has been launched by the Serial Cut creative team. The collection consists primarily of tees, sweatshirts and tanks. There is no Spring, Summer or Winter collection because they have no idea where you live. Once a year a new collection will be released for your wearing pleasure.
As could be expected from the minds behind Serial Cut, the website is slick and imagery of the collection is striking and artfully composed. The collection itself is also highly considered and would make a bold statement in anyone’s wardrobe.
“Aitor Throup was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1980. He has also lived in Spain and moved to Burnley in England in 1992. It was in Burnley that Throup developed a passion for labels such as Stone Island and C.P. Company. It was a mixture of Aitor’s interest in these products and his own passion for drawing that led him to begin a BA in Fashion Design at Manchester Metropolitan University, from where he graduated with first class honours in 2004. In 2006, he completed an MA Postgraduate Degree in Fashion Menswear at the Royal College of Art in London.
Aitor is fascinated with anatomy and his main interest is drawing. His hand drawn characters become the primary tool in the exploration of his ‘justified design philosophy’, which highlights the necessity of a reason or function behind all design features. Aitor’s design process is centered around innovative methods of design and construction, in particular a construction process which utilises his own sculptures of the human body as a system for blocking garments.”
Aitor has an amazing body of work and his process of moving from abstract sketch to reality makes him all the more intriguing.
Brooklyn-based photographer Noah Kalina has an eye for color and the ability to nestle his subjects squarely within an image composed of subtle hues.
