SHOWstudio contributor and artist Ozabu has collaborated with the fashion designer Jason Wu on his Fall '21 collection. Ozabu's delicate drawings of flowers and an unknown female face, meticulously created using a mechanical pencil and graphite, are reimagined in silk shirts, elegant evening dresses and outerwear.

As well as illustrating the seasonal fashion collections, Ozabu previously took part in our exhibition 100 Women, immortalising Nick Knight's iconic photograph of Devon Aoki in McQueen for the cover of Visionaire 20 (1997) in graphite. Most recently, the self-taught Japanese artist expanded on her creative process and artistic inspirations as part of an Instagram Takeover.
