# Couture-Focused Illustrations Graphic Design Student Marynn Creates Beautiful Drawings By Shiori Mine | Published 2012-08-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marynn References: [trendland](http://trendland.com/marynn-fashion-illustration/) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/MARYNN) Graphic design student Marynn displays an uncanny ability to depict fashion icons with a simple yet captivating illustrative style. Using splashes of color against detailed black and white renders, her images express emotion and whimsy. Residing in Nantes, France and studying at ECV, this talented 21-year-old is captivated by the concept of realism. Her portraits have an immense amount of detail that is rendered with great accuracy using a range of pencil tones. The isolated hues add life and vibrancy to these illustrations, similar to the way [fashion designers approach their sketches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superflat-animation). Marynn also references a number of [notable luxury labels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miya-ando-x-saint-laurent) such as [Hermes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hermes-celebrates) and Nars in her fashion-focused drawings. Mixing graphic motifs with traditional drawing techniques, artist Marynn fabricates brilliant illustrations that rival the great fashion designers themselves. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Realistic Fashion Illustrations:** Embrace the trend of realistic fashion illustrations to capture emotion and whimsy in your designs. - **Splashes of Color:** Experiment with splashes of color against detailed black and white renders to bring vibrancy and life to your illustrations. - **Graphic Motifs in Illustrations:** Incorporate graphic motifs with traditional drawing techniques to create unique and captivating fashion illustrations. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design:** Utilize realistic fashion illustrations to enhance the design process and showcase the potential of your collections. - **Graphic Design:** Experiment with combining graphic motifs and traditional drawing techniques to create visually striking illustrations. - **Luxury Fashion Retail:** Consider incorporating realistic fashion illustrations in marketing materials and product packaging for a unique and captivating visual identity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vibrantly Artful Graphic Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sabine-finkenauer.md) - [Character Art-Infused Leather Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moynat-x-kasing.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Youth Intern Social Stunts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intern-social-stunt.md) - [Educational Fashion Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-graduates-initiative.md) - [Graphic Fashion Animation Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superflat-animation.md) - [Artist-Approved Intricate Wallpaper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printed-decors.md) - [Illustrated Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasted-youth-x-tappei.md) - [Character-Driven Fashion Newsletters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-realgirl.md)
