Rikke Jørgensen



When I did my post The Return of the Fashion Illustrator last month, I wish I would have known about Danish illustrator Rikke Jørgensen who is doing absolutely stunning work for fashion companies like Neiman Marcus, Filippa K, Diesel and Bloomingdales. Women are usually Jørgensen's main focus, and it's partly the endless flowing lines, but also the mysterious gazes of these women which create both interest and intrigue in her artwork. She's a fabulous artist and thanks to Yvan Rodic of the Facehunter for tweeting about her.

Take a look at more of her work and purchase prints on her blog.

Thakoon's Textured Landscape



Best known for his intricate details, Thakoon went a step further for his Fall 2010 collection, experimenting with different silhouettes and a multitude of textures. With all the details and different fabrications, this collection could have easily become muddled, but in a subtle way, Thakoon is one of the few designers so far at NYFW that showed something distinctly different from Fall 2009. Bunches of ruffles gave interest to monochromatic looks and Thakoon also gave us a really nice new pant shape, which is sort of like a more structured harem pant. The accessories were also fantastic; a knotted soft leather belt, and shearling-lined peep toe booties could spice up any fall wardrobe. Overall, the collection was modern, innovative and will surely be a major influence for stores like H & M and Zara.
