New York Fashion Week starts today, and to celebrate I'm taking over Tombow's Instagram account with some of my fashion illustrations.
I love seeing next season's fashion previewed on the runways, and to prepare for this week I poured over trend and color forecasting and picked a few of my favorites to illustrate.
One of the trends we're likely to see is bolder colors in geometric and more structured patterns and designs. I'm all about color, no matter what season it is, so I'm excited to see what comes down the runway! I used Tombow Dual Brush Markers with a Blending Palette and paint brush, Mono pencils and Dust-Catch eraser, along with the Tombow Fudenosuke Twin-Tip Brush Pen to create this piece. Tombow is running a Fashion Week promotion this week if you're interested in picking up some new supplies for 25% off.

I'm also expecting to see some neutral knits, pared with sheer fabrics, on the runway this week, with grays having a lovely blue tint to them. I used Tombow Dual Brush Markers with a Blending Palette and paint brush, Mono pencils and Dust-Catch eraser, along with the Tombow Fudenosuke Twin-Tip Brush Pen to create this one.
And lastly, delicate Japanese floral prints have always been a favorite of mine and I'm hoping we'll see some on the runway this week, particularly in shades of purple and lilac. I used Tombow Dual Brush Markers with a Blending Palette and paint brush, Mono pencils and Dust-Catch eraser, along with the Tombow Fudenosuke Twin-Tip Brush Pen to create this piece.
