Katie Rodgers is one of my favourite fashion illustrators. She is Boston based illustrator. Paper fashion is what her website is. She grew up in Loganville, Georgia. Once she worked as an apparel designer during the day and run her website in her spare time.
Art, illustration and fashion are three things that she always LOVE. From middle school until the end of high school, she spent every summer at Interlochen Arts camp in Michigan studying cello or art and one summer at Philips Exeter Academy in New Hempshire studying art, web design and music. All of these experience have definitely given her the knowledge and drive to be where she is now. She said she never set out to be an apparel designer, or an illustrator, but somehow she was on a path to get there.
The reasons why i love her artwork is because she got her own style in illustrating. Especially when she drew from a model. It turns out to be an absolutely amazing illustration in a lovely way. She described her artwork as a happy realistic and whimsical all art once. Mostly she work with watercolor and ink pens.
Katie has been on receiving end of a nuber of enviable commissions of late- most recently she worked with Coach for New York's Fashion's Night Out where she appeared in store and illustrated a number of handbags for a line of eager customers.
