3. Coco






Coco on Coco:
As an illustrator my background gives me a unique insight into fashion. After spending five years studying fine arts in Paris, I worked as a communication consultant for many leading fashion designers.

In 2004 I moved to London to set up getconfused – a company which offers consultancy and creative solutions to clients from all around the world.

I began producing illustrations as a favour to friends in the fashion industry who needed them for lookbooks, magazines and websites. On the trail of those I started to receive press interest and these days I create imagery for publications spanning both the independent and mainstream press.

I’ve have also recently started producing a small collection of scarves, forget-me-not, which will be available soon online and in shops all around the world.

I find inspiration in a wide variety of places. Living between Paris and London I feel at ease with the visual landscapes of both cities. As art and fashion capitals, they are a byword for innovation, creativity and metropolitan edge.

I tend to start my work by experimenting with old-school processes such as painting, drawing and ceramics, before designing the final image digitally.

I like to mix several techniques but aim for restraint and minimalism in the finished work as I like the results achieved from combining these two approaches.
