Illustration for Draw a Dot
Open Calls : Part 1
Collection of illustrations for Draw a Dot Open Call by Grartus Fashion Illustration Studio.
Gucci S/S 2023 collection
Grartus drew inspiration from Alessandro Michele’s captivating concept, “Welcome to Twinsburg.” They selected a standout print from the collection, drawn to its rich color palette and intricate motifs. Additionally, they incorporated one of the collection’s accessories, blending it seamlessly with the Gremlins to highlight the major elements of Michele’s vision. The stuffed animal handbags, designed as Gremlins, became a playful and iconic feature in the interpretation, adding a unique twist to the artwork.
Schiaparelli S/S 2023 collection : Exhibition at the Hôtel d’Evreux by Daniel Roseberry
Inspired by these exceptional details, Grartus incorporated them into their illustration, which evokes the essence of a Schiaparelli window display. Themed as a chic circus, the artwork beautifully captures the theatrical elegance and avant-garde spirit of the collection.
Christopher Kane’s collection SS 23
The collection was a vivid depiction of the designer’s clinical obsessions, unconventional use of materials, and unabashed celebration of sexuality—all reimagined in fresh and innovative ways. Key highlights included clear vinyl body-brace straps paired with inset lace bra cups, pastel organza and white lingerie-lace-edged skirts doubled into loops, and patent kitten-heel pumps adorned with playful bunny ears.
At its core, the collection’s forensic-inspired details served as a poignant reminder of human mortality, balanced by an invitation to revel in the beauty of our bodies while we can. Flowers, symbolizing both love and death, added a poetic contrast to the narrative. The illustration captured this duality, blending the forensic precision with the delicate beauty of flowers to create a deeply evocative and meaningful composition.
