Society6 is a platform for artists to bring their work together in a showroom-like atmosphere, and Cardboardcities brings together simple model snaps and amalgamates a series of cut and paste architecture photographs. The brillant work of Laura Redburn, the designer behind Cardboardcities, mixes color and washed out aesthetics to create truly beautiful illustrations.

Bringing together famous buildings from Moscow and mixing them with vintage-inspired fashion photographs makes the illustrations a great way to display this generations idea of [mixed media artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes). The thought-provoking work behind Laura Redburn's creative depictions makes these particular illustrations great for [modern interior design palettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dust-order). This beautifully hip artwork is a great way to showcase your love for fashion and architecture in a truly unique way.
