The purpose of the thesis is to investigate whether fashion illustration can also be used in less commercial way, as it is usually used in fashion advertising. I decided to include it in a story of 98-year-old fashion icon Iris Apfel, a person with an extremely interesting style of dres, with which she expresses energy, a positive and playful view of the world.
In my theoretical work, I researched fashion illustration and its history, as well as other subcategories of illustration, which consecuently covermy work. I introduced the concept of the artist's book and researched Iris Apfel's life in more detail and analyzed her style of dress.
In the practical part, I presented my artist's book depicting the life of Iris Apfel. The book is made up of fashion illustrations with which I tell a story, so thy are slightly different from the fashion illustrations used in advertising. Clothing is still in the foreground, but because of the narrative context, I also had to pay attention to the understandable presentation of the story.
