Izak the Artist

His love of women, fashion, and style icons such as Audrey Hepburn and Ines de la Fressange inspire his whimsical and enchanting view of life. Whether his distinctive characters are meeting for cocktails with girlfriends, taking a stroll through the park, or shopping with their puppies in tow, each vignette boasts Izak’s optimistic and confident vision of the world.
Izak has lent his colorful and fresh fashion authority to a diverse range of advertising, promotional, and editorial clients across the globe. Some of these illustrious clients include: Sephora, who is going into the third season with an IZAK capsule collection of branded cosmetics bags and accessories; Celine, whom Izak worked closely with to produce a series of scarves; Guerlain, who created a limited edition Valentine’s fragrance with Izak; and perhaps most notably, after 15 years of collaboration, Izak continues to dazzle shoppers as the face of Henri Bendel, New York’s premier source for cutting edge style.
Izak started his career working for Chanel fragrances, so it was with great pleasure for them to work together again in 2012. Izak created an exciting instore promotional campaign for Chanel beauty. Lancome continues to see Izak as their illustration ambassador featuring his work worldwide in their gift with purchase and promotional programs.

Izak the Brand
For years IZAK’s witty, whimsical illustrations have taken fashion to new places. His work, long associated with exclusive brands and high-end publications instantly conveys a breezy, fashionable style, and fresh enchanting view of life. His women are attractive, optimistic, confident, charming, feminine, and modern – exactly how women idealize themselves. IZAK’s colorful world is now a lifestyle of its own, lending a fun fashion authority wherever he puts his brush. And just as we have come to trust IZAK’s work to direct us to what is trendy and of-the-moment in other brands, we can now rely on Izak himself to do that with his own line of products.

Brand Positioning: Light hearted, fun ,and all about style. It is neither serious or self-important. The brand motto is “smile.” The smiley swoosh under the logo reinforces this positive spirit. The brand’s target market is age 14-35 fashion oriented women with products targeted to mid-tier department stores and massmarket retailers. As a lifestyle and accessories brand, IZAK focuses on product categories that appeal to its young female fashion oriented demographic. The products stand out on their own, and also in harmony with more existing neutral product designs already in the marketplace, giving a fun twist and color to life. While they are affordable they embody good taste and design. Today IZAK products are sold in 15,000 retail doors in over 30 countries on 4 continents with over $20 million in retail sales.
