# Editorial Stylista Sketches James Mylne Creates Magazine-Ready Fashion Illustrations By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-02-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fashion-illustration References: [cuded](http://www.cuded.com/2013/02/photorealistic-illustrations-by-james-mylne/) & [jamesmylne](http://www.jamesmylne.co.uk/) Unlike any [fashion photographer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/betterstudio), James Mylne does not need his subject to walk into his studio and pose for his photo shoot-worthy [fashion illustration series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasted-youth-x-tappei). With pen and paper, he can recreate any image down to the smallest details including loose strands of hair and the shininess of pearls. He creates drawing of supermodels such as Kate Moss and film stars such as Audrey Hepburn, puts them onto a pretty pastel background for a finished portrait that looks like it came straight out of a magazine. The artist infuses each of his stylish subjects with an air of mystery and grace, giving them curvy silhouettes and haughty expressions on their perfect faces. It is hard to believe that the James Mylne fashion illustration collection is made using a [ballpoint pen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawingpics). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Fashion Illustration:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in digitizing and automating fashion illustration process. - **Hyperrealism:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in hyperrealistic art techniques and materials. - **Celebrity and Pop Culture Art:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating unique celebrity and pop culture artworks. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in using technology to transform fashion illustration in the industry. - **Fine Art:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the production and marketing of hyperrealistic art. - **Entertainment:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating and licensing unique celebrity and pop culture artworks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Digital AI-Generated Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picsart-1.md) - [AI Line Drawing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pencilify-ai.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Reimagined Digital Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-23.md) - [Haute Auto Pattern Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-car-couture.md) - [Luxury Fashion Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-fashion-sculpture.md)
