What’s stunning is how his pieces goes beyond one-dimension. He combines embroidery, 3D rendition of ribbon flowers and small mirrors decorated with Swarovski crystals, sequins and glass beads, with sketching techniques often seen in his couture collections.

As to why he was drawn to this collaboration, he enthuses that “Eyes are the window of our souls, everyone sees colours, textures and situations differently. I’ve always believed that there is certain amount of fantasy that’s attached to my artistic imagination that keeps me inspired. These two fashion illustrations display my belief as an artist and designer and highlight fashion and fantasy which is both elaborate and theatrical.”

Other artists that have left their talents to the project include Lucas SimõesAlex BoxQiu Jia and more. Their works can be viewed on the Faces by The Sartorialist website.
