Art: Brands in Full Bloom

Mixed media artist Daryl Feril has created a series of mixed media illustrations for some of the world's most luxurious brands. The process begun with an initial hand-drawn illustration with graphite and watercolor, scanned and exported into Photoshop for the final composition. It's pretty obvious that each illustration represents the brand, Chanel is presented in a classic black and white palette, Alexandre McQueen has a more dark approach like his collections with a mysterious dark shadow and red logo and YSL shows a more feminine approach with it's pastel tones.

"The designs aim to illustrate and create a very feminine mood yet still conserve the sophistication and identity of each brand"
