How To Get Into Fashion Illustration

Montana Forbes shares insider tips on breaking into Fashion Illustration.

Montana, a director on the board of the Association of Illustrators, recently authored an insightful piece for the AOI’s 'Inside Illustration' platform titled "How To Get Into Fashion Illustration."

Drawing on her experience and expertise, Montana wrote the article to offer invaluable guidance for AOI members keen to break into the season’s focus area: fashion illustration. Collaborating closely with Derek Brazell, AOI’s Publications and Membership Manager, she engaged three prominent fashion illustrators—Nuno Da Costa, Joanna Layla, and Anjelica Roselyn—as well as former commissioner Susan Van Horn. Together, they contributed their artwork and professional insights, creating a robust and informative resource.

Montana also created a fresh illustration, inspired by the Spring/Summer 2022 collection from fashion brand Chloé, blending her unique style with the collection’s vibrant spirit to visually encapsulate the article’s theme.
