Fashion Friday: Our Favorite High Fashion Illustrations

It's no secret that we love art. We not only collect our favorite pieces at the many events we attend, we even have a few Josephson originals in our archives - did you know that our founder and president, Jeff is the son of artist Leslie Josephson? Now you do! And we know that fashion is a form of art, just like our incredible jewelry and watches. So how better to combine quite a few of our favorite media with a few of our favorite things? Namely luxury brands, jewelry, shoes, and more, all illustrated beautifully. The next best thing to eyeing your treasures in your closet or jewelry box is admiring them on your walls with fashion illustrations.

We love a great little black dress, and doubly so when it's paired with a fabulous diamond necklace and earring set. Briolettes all around!

It's no secret that Birkins make great travel bags (hence why you always see celebs toting them around the airport). Achraf Amiri clearly agrees, and has stuffed this black Birkin with postcards from around the world!

Our favorite It Girl illustrator Inslee Haynes continues the Hermes love in our next illustration. How can we resist a drawing that features not only our favorite Cartier Love bangle, but a punchy Hermes bangle and a canary diamond engagement ring to boot? Answer - we can't. Pass the sangria indeed.

One good Inslee Haynes creation deserves another - this time an homage to Boca Raton's footwear of choice, Louboutin heels.

This vintage Dior ad makes us say "Oh la la". Piles of pearls, glamorous underpinnings and a pretty fabulous beekeeper's net are more chic than they sound.

Another David Downton, this diamond studded gown is right up our alley. As we like to say (and as Allison Williams well knows), why wear diamonds with your dress when you can wear them on your dress?

We love this sunny yellow pop of luxury on this sketch - who can say no to a buttery bright Dior purse?

Also by Soo Kim Studio, this illustration shows the greatest jewelry icon of the 20th century, Elizabeth Taylor, wearing her prized emeralds.
