Remember last year's S/S Prada collection with the fairy tale prints? I just found out who the talent behind the creation of this delicious dreaminess is. It's Taiwanese born artist (1979!) James Jean, currently residing in LA. Through his work he creates a fantasy world reminiscent of one of my favorite movies Pan's Labyrinth. Leprechauns, fairies, beautiful aliens, transforming figures - everything is skillfully sketched out with such easiness it seems. Absolutely stunning! Check out his website

Prada's choice of fantasy illustration and print was in my humble opinion a spark of genius. Her collection and James Jean's drawings launched a series of interpretations and knock offs in the fashion world to be seen to this day.
BTW - notice how popular collaborations of designers with artists are becoming? Stay tuned for more!
Enjoy and start dreaming..............................................
