New York-based artist Justin Teodoro is reviving the lost art of fashion illustration. Although he’s not technically a native New Yorker (he was born and raised in Canada), Teodoro is very much in the tradition of Big Apple icons like Keith Haring, whose doodle-style aesthetic he shares. Something of a renaissance man, Justin shifted from designing clothing to focussing on fashion illustration about a decade ago. It was a gutsy move, but powered on by early support on Instagram and existing connections in the industry, Teodoro soon found himself carving out a niche as fashion’s go-to illustrator.
His doodles have adorned everything from department store windows to tote bags and mugs, while his subjects have grown to include pop culture icons from David Bowie to Kylie. In 2020, Justin drew the attention of BOSS chief brand officer Ingo Wilts, who tapped Teodoro to create a global collection for the brand sold in stores from Sydney to Shanghai. Here, Justin sits down with us to talk the power of social media and expanding into new mediums.
Hi, Justin, where did your interest in fashion illustration start?
