Before fashion film, there was fashion photography, and before fashion photography, there was fashion illustration. Dazzling the pages of many of fashion's most revered publications, wondrous illustrations adorned the covers (and continued to decorate the inside pages) of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Flair, Tatler and many more throughout the first half of the 20th century, proving quite an asset to the quintessential style bible. Having always believed in the power of illustration, primarily when used to communicate a mood or palpable presence, SHOWstudio have long been inviting fashion's most talented illustrators, on and under the radar, to offer their unique talent in interpreting the latest season's collections.
Working with different mediums while making use of the negative space on a page to create an image, Şeniz Jones's expressive illustrations tap into man's hidden desires. Detailed pencil sketches of garment close-ups and facial expressions are combined with simple and elegant line work - purposefully leaving her finished works to look half-complete, leaving the rest of the illustration to the viewer's imagination. While choosing to document the catwalk in all its glory, Jones also weaves in her own narratives; connecting the world through artworks while empowering unheard voices, regardless of gender.
