London artist Isabell Kinga Markus collaborates with The Small Gatsby in a new project where fashion meets art.
This is Isabell’s second collaboration with The Small Gatsby. The first project with the children’s couture clothing label came about in 2013 many years after brand architect and creative director of The Small Gatsby Teresa Zimmermann first met her high school friend’s new girlfriend in London, where the creative sparks flew! Years later Teresa contacted Isabell and she became the first painter to be featured by The Small Gatsby in one of their early limited artist editions.
In the summer of 2016, when the team were brainstorming and trying to find a new angle to promote their very Viennese AW16 Euer Gnaden (Her Majesty) collection, Teresa’s managing partner and designer Anita Dorner thought it would be a great idea to ask Kinga if she would like to collaborate once again.
For the new collaboration, Kinga drew Vienna in rough charcoal illustrations, capturing the grand faces of the buildings, the corners and little narrow streets she loses herself in when visiting her partner’s home city – and The Small Gatsby family.
Creative director Teresa then combined these sensual perspectives of Vienna, with Isabelle Köhlers brilliant captures of the AW16 collection, creating deep and stunning takes on art: an enthralling blend of illustration, photography and statement design.
