Photography isn’t going anywhere-it’s impossible to imagine a world without runway slide shows and street-style snaps (how else could we mortals glean an understanding of the culotte jumpsuit?.) But fashion illustration-an ever-growing force, with leaders like David Downtonand Donald Robertson-takes Taylor Swift and her “Bad Blood” squad and turns them into cartoon icons, identifiable by their signature looks. Kim is a freelance fashion illustrator, one of many taking to social media to resurrect the forgotten art that’s giving fashion photography a run for its money. The 23-year-old has a modest setup at home in Indianapolis, but when she posts her creations on Instagram, she captures the attention of thousands of followers, including Joe Jonas, Whitney Port, Danielle Bernstein, Jeremy Lin, and her absolute favorite, Gigi Hadid.
Alex Kim works all day at Anthropologie, then comes home and draws while sitting on her couch, in her bed, or wherever she has the space, for at least a few minutes before falling asleep.
