CHUCK &CHELSEA © Copyright Chuck&Chelsea. All rights reserved.

We discovered their fashion illustration blog (Chuck&Chelsea) through Tumblr and we loved their work, starring two human dogs, Chuck and his partner Chelsea, always dressed in luxury brands like Thom Browne, Alexander McQueen, Comme Des Garçons or Prada among others. Their beautiful illustrations are highlighted by their intricate but minimalist details. Louise Kim and Michelle Yoon, both Canadian and now living in New York City, are the creative minds behind Chuck & Chelsea. Louise (artist) is the daily creator of most of the illustrations shown in their blog, using markers and paint. While Michelle (designer) complements the work by creating designs and accessories for Chuck & Chelsea and also writing the fashion reviews. The most attracting thing in their illustrations is the contemporary proposal, and the highly esthetic style with a wink of European comic books like Hergé. It’s very inspiring to see how this fusion gives their work such a unique vision and shows, once more, the multiple inspiration sources of the fashion illustration. pAGE 050
