Julie Verhoeven - Illustrator

[sw33tricecakes]

I think she is an amazing artist and definitely deserves her own thread. She made the album cover for primal scream and kate moss and created a line of uber cute bags for Louis Vuitton. Her illustrations are all so beautiful and feminine while, yes, slightly...umm...erotic Feel free to contribute pics and information.

I've been wanting to do a thread on the fabulous Ms. Verhoeven, so I'm glad I found this one!

Has anyone else heard about the beret she designed with Kangol? Nylon did a little thing about it and said it would be available through the Kangol website, but no such luck. I guess I could call...

I was in London when she was designing for Gibo and got a chance to check out her illustrations which covered the walls of the store.

These are a few of my favorites (from my PC, but actually from a Google search...a long time ago)

 

[clavdiachauchat]

I'll see if I can scan the pages from her book Fat-Bottomed Girls...I have it at home
