Lookbooks are a great source of inspiration, as well as an amazing way for designers and stylists to flaunt their talents. You can find beautiful lookbooks in a variety of platforms from print to websites to social media. Everyone loves the site lookbook.nu which allows users from all over the world to basically create their own lookbook of their personal style. Though this website doesn't show off one specific designer's collection, it is an incredible source of inspiration for styling and design. It's a cool way to see what people are wearing all over the world and to follow these personalities' style evolution.
As you can imagine designer lookbooks can take on a variety of styles. Designers create lookbooks that best suit their garments, theme, and aesthetic. Some lookbook layouts will be simple like this one for a Mary Katrantzou & Current/Elliott collaboration...
...or they can be way more stylized like the F/W 2013 lookbook for an LA boutique called Myrtle. Below are some images from the store's fall lookbook which were illustrated by 6 different artists.
Check out Myrtle's complete fall lookbook here, because it's amazing!
*Also, you should definitely check out Rachel Antonoff's lovely Spring 2014 lookbook which features Parks & Rec star Aubrey Plaza, a laundromat, and a cute poodle! Link to that here!
Myrtle's fall lookbook is gorgeous! I loved that you choose so many different kinds of lookbooks, it made it really interesting. I can't wait to create my own lookbook!
ReplyDeleteI agree! this lookbook post was kept super interesting. Ive never heard of Myrtle before but after seeing this lookbook it is to die for!
ReplyDeleteThe illustration lookbook is a really fresh and different way to present a collection, but I think it is more practical to use it as an added bonus to actual photographs of models wearing the clothing.
ReplyDeleteI really like the illustration lookbook, because I have always been obsessed with fashion illustrations! Your blog is really creative and unique, I love it!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen an illustration look book. That is so cute and creative. Did you find out if these were all in print or digital? I personally would want to make these into a DIY wall decor.
