Artist Love: Mats Gustafson

I am OBSESSED with these fashion illustrations by Mats Gustafson.
Gustafson began his career as an illustrator in the late 1970s, a time when editorial illustration was eclipsed by photography, and watercolor as a conceptual medium had barely been explored. His illustrations have been featured in publications such as French and Italian Vogue and The New Yorker, and he's created advertising art for Hermès and Tiffany & Co.

Aren't they completely drool-worthy? His work is minimalistic, but elegant and he really knows how to capture the essence of fashion. Just another lovely piece to add to my future art collection...
