Fashion goes Manga in the i-D Magazine fall fashion feature by Japanese illustrator Mimi. Before the Fall/Winter 2014 collections are set to appear in countless magazine editorials, they are making their debut in this unique image series for i-D.

The magazine has teamed up with artist Mimi who first gained fame for her illustrations, shared on designer Ashley Williams' [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maczine) account. The artist was asked to illustrate the season's top 5 runway looks in [Manga style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superflat-animation) and the result was incredible.

Mimi's [colourful cartoon portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doraemon-fall) feature fantastic looks from Moschino, Prada, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Marques'Almeida and Ashley Williams herself. From Prada's layered retro ensembles to Marc by Marc Jacob's bandit inspired get-ups, this Manga-infused editorial is a visually fun way to celebrate fall fashions.
