Nyaueth Niko Riam - Moment

The set of four Fashion Illustrations were each created to a specific brief.

This one is Moment: an iconic moment in fashion, perhaps from the runway, from fashion history, a brand collaboration or any other memorable work in the field.

I chose the work of photographer Tim Walker with a portrait of Nyaueth Riam in a frilly Molly Goddard dress (yes, same designer as the one from Killing Eve). Tim Walker’s photography is many times very maximalist and fairytale like, not easy to capture in a single illustration. However this portrait of the gorgeous Nyaueth in the diaphanous dress really captured my imagination because I feel that model and photographer tell a whole dreamy story in just one portrait without the usual props, colour cacophony and entire staged scene.
