Fashion Strokes is an independent fashion and visual storytelling platform founded by artist Elly Azizian, bringing together fashion illustration, luxury fashion, editorial storytelling, and social media.
Over the past decade, Elly has built Fashion Strokes into a distinctive visual platform through collaborations with fashion houses, luxury brands, creative agencies, hospitality and lifestyle brands, and leading cultural institutions. She has been covering Fashion Week events for 6 years across the Paris Haute Couture Season as well as the New York & London ready-to-wear seasons.
Through original illustration and editorial content, Fashion Strokes translates fashion into an immediate, highly visual form of storytelling designed for contemporary audiences. Her Fashion Week specific practice combines illustration with editorial observation, creating original visuals of collections, designers, fashion personalities, and the atmosphere surrounding the fashion industry.
Elly’s experience extends beyond illustration into social-media strategy, creative direction, campaign development, live event activations, and editorial storytelling, allowing her to translate fashion into content across both traditional and digital platforms.
Her luxury experience spans beyond the fashion industry with projects connected to Sotheby’s, including illustrations surrounding its Magnificent Jewels catalogues for the U.S. and European auction markets, as well as collaborations with luxury lifestyle and hospitality brands such as Harrods and Andaz Hotels.
Her work is informed by a deep understanding of fashion imagery, luxury branding, and the increasingly visual nature of fashion journalism.
