Elly Azizian

Elly Azizian founded Fashion Strokes in May of 2016 while completing her studies in Haute Couture at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Since then, she has been using her singular blend of influences pulling from vintage fashion, dance, theatre, and literary inspirations to create a unique style of illustration.

Elly has garnered a notable list of clients, collaborators and features including: Oscar de la Renta, SLS Hotels, Thompson Hotels, Valentino, Marchesa, Ralph & Russo, Carolina Herrera, Reem Acra, and Sotheby’s among others.

In 2018 Fashion Strokes began live coverage of Couture Fashion Week in Paris and since then Elly has been covering all the Haute Couture shows as an illustrating correspondent, expanding, in 2019 to the ready-to-wear shows at NYFW on behalf of various press outlets.

Elly’s works often blend the line between fashion illustration and contemporary art, her pieces are currently being represented by several international art galleries, including The Haze Gallery in Berlin, PAPERback Gallery in London, and The CAMP Gallery.

“Elly Azizian is an American artist whose work displays an emphasis on the effectiveness of clean lines and a multi-faceted collage and mixed media approach to fashion illustration. With a highly stylized approach to her work, she creates pieces that are both figurative and slightly abstract in nature. The artist’s collage application on traditional fashion sketching elevates her compositions to a realm beyond fashion illustration, resulting in a visual feast of color, form and texture within a fashion envelope.”
