Cedric Rivrain

Cederic Rivrain spent most of his youth at a boarding school in France. His first drawing was of his mother, a woman who introduce him to fashion. Fashion has been part in his family. His mother can also be credited for his artistic use of makeup. Like most of his work, the book's illustration largely grow out of Rivrain's childhood fascinations cartoons, anatomy, and , of course, eyes.

If we see most of his work, we can say that he loves to draw eye very much. He said "drawings are better when you find the perfect emotion in the eyes. And it was interesting to see how mechanical eyes could give emotions."

The reason why he is in one of my favourite fashion illustration lists is because his work are brilliant. He can mixed between fashion illustration and fine fine art really well especially at the face part or eyes part. It was a classic drawing combined with colours.

His comment about fashion and art is he said that he doesn't want to differentiate between his art and fashion drawing. He just want to feel free. He think fashin illustration brings you some poetry back to the commercial fashion world. It was something authentic. Fashion images are all so digital now and with illustration, we know there's a human behind it.
