# Iconic Designer Posters The Fashion Crowd Series Illustrates Style's Elite By Carly Foy | Published 2011-04-20 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fashion-crowd References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/2011/04/19/mr-burt-fashion-crowd-illustrations/) & [mrburt.me](http://mrburt.me/) Mr. Burt is an illustrator that has created a series of illustrations which he has entitled 'Fashion Crowd.' The Fashion Crowd series features four illustrations of fashion's elite: [Karl Lagerfeld](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-x-karl-lagerfeld) of Coco Chanel, John Galliano, Anna Wintour and André Leon Talley of [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Audio-journalism-platforms). The illustrations emulate the 20s-styled posters, complete with creases to add a unique effect. Each poster features one of the four in a profile shot. Mr. Burt's ability to illustrate is evident; the Fashion Crowd looks exactly like their real-life selves. The artist also puts a satirical word play on the John Galliano illustration. The designer, who has been recently fired from [Dior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diors-2024-collection) for his racist comments, is drawn wearing a sailor hat with the word 'Dioh!' The Fashion Crowd posters are a must-see for any fashion lover. Mr. Burt's illustrations are unique and true to the likes of the icons. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Illustrated Portraits:** Digital illustrations of iconic fashion figures offer a fresh and artistic take on traditional portraiture. - **Satirical Wordplay:** Incorporating clever wordplay in illustrations presents opportunities for humor and social commentary in art. - **Retro-inspired Design:** Reviving vintage aesthetics in artwork taps into nostalgia and attracts a modern audience. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion and Apparel:** Fashion brands and designers can collaborate with illustrators to create unique and engaging visual content for marketing campaigns. - **Art and Entertainment:** Museums, galleries, and art studios can embrace illustrated portraits as a popular and accessible form of artwork. - **Digital Media and Marketing:** Digital platforms can feature illustrated portraits to enhance user experience and captivate audiences through visually captivating content. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Model-Collaborative Luxe Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cara-loves-karl.md) - [Luxe Literary-Inspired Tote Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dior-book-tote.md) - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md) - [Heritage-Honoring Artful Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archival-poster-collection.md) - [Contemporary Fashion Retrospectives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balenciaga-by-demna.md) - [Haute Auto Pattern Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-car-couture.md) - [Archetypal Fashion Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection.md) - [High-Society-Inspired Holiday Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-bergdorf-soire.md) - [Stylish City-Inspired Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diors-2024-collection.md)
