While my initial intention for today’s post was to write about something completely non fashion related, last night I stumbled upon the works of Berlin based artist, Belinda Chen and had to share her with you. Belinda does everything from fashion illustrations to mixed media collages and has been featured in a number of magazines such as SOKO Magazine and N*Style Magazine. I particularly love her heavy and noticeable use of outlines reminiscent of Matisse and another artist I’ve featured on Runway Hippie, Hope Gangloff.

I’ve always wanted to try out mixed media art but either never have the time or get extremely frustrated when the piece isn’t turning out the way I envisioned it…which is probably why I’m not an artist…

Either way, I’m completely obsessed with Belinda’s work and I think it’s only a matter of time before her illustrations pop up in more well-known magazines like NYLON and Paper.
