Fashion inspirations may come from anywhere. There are hundreds or perhaps thousands of fashion styles in this world. From the beginning time, colonial time, the 80′s, the 90′s, the vintage style, and more. To the fashion lover, their fashion style matters. To some of them, it’s a fun daily things. To her, fashion is her work as well.

Her name is Nancy Zhang. She’s currently living in Berlin, Germany. She is an illustrator who loves fashion and vintage stuff. What I really like the most from her work is that she turn the illustrations into her fashion daily styles. Or, may be the other way around as well. The styles she choose are influenced mostly by movies. Check her blog to find out more about her fashion inspirations and her daily fashion style.

The obvious example in graphic design in term of this matter is the illustrators. I personally admire them. They have the skill to created what they are imagine into a visualization.

Not at all, it is only transparent that illustrator works are easy to be identified. Take a closer look on their details, the drawing lines, the nuance of color, and sometimes the theme.
