Fashion illustrator Natalia Grosner chose a few looks from the New York Fashion Week 2012 and, in her classic style, has chosen to illustrate them in a snippy and humorous way. The sketches include a sad-looking figure whose melancholy appearance definitely pairs well with the quirky captions, including such phrases as "Man Repelling at Jeremy Laing" or "Like a SEXY mermaid at Rodarte." Natalia sure sketches the dresses in an interesting fashion and entertains the sometimes too-serious fashion crowd at the same time. The Natalia Grosner NYFW S/S 2012 Illustrations are worth a peek if you need a break from your stilettos. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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's Driving This Trend - **Fashion Illustration:** The trend of using illustrations in fashion showcases disruptive innovation opportunities for designers to create unique and playful representations of their collections. - **Humorous Fashion Commentary:** The trend of incorporating humor into fashion illustrations opens up disruptive innovation opportunities for artists to engage and entertain the fashion crowd in a lighthearted way. - **Nostalgic Fashion Reminders:** The trend of using sketches to recall previous fashion events provides disruptive innovation opportunities for illustrators to create visual memories that evoke emotions and nostalgia in the audience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Design:** The fashion design industry can leverage the trend of fashion illustration to infuse creativity and unique storytelling into their collections, attracting a wider audience. - **Art and Illustration:** The art and illustration industry can explore the trend of incorporating humor into fashion illustrations to create visually engaging and entertaining artworks that resonate with fashion enthusiasts. - **Fashion Events and Shows:** The fashion events and shows industry can tap into the trend of using nostalgic fashion reminders, such as sketches, to enhance the overall experience and create lasting memories for attendees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Sustainably-Focused Experimental Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycled-fashion-collection.md) - [Pixelated Runway Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelated.md) - [Dynamic Fall-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jordanluca-1.md) - [Provocative Pre-Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-2-camp.md) - [Modern High-Fashion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terani-couture.md) - [Couture Technical Sneaker Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juntae-kim.md)
