To celebrate the art of fashion illustration and couture, at the link in our bio, seven artists depict looks handpicked from the @Vogue Runway archive.

An inaugural member of @kehindewiley’s Black Rock Senegal residency, Grace Lynne Haynes, a New Jersey–based Californian, studied illustration before turning her attention to painting. Taking as her subject “complex topics and stereotypes surrounding Black women and femininity,” Haynes’s paintings are distinguished by the contrasting of bright colors with powerfully flat and graphic silhouettes of black paint “shaped,” she says, “to represent Black female bodies. In my work, she continues, “black appears aspirational, dignified, and sublime."

“For this project, I chose Valentino’s fall 2019 couture show. This show stood out to me because it set a new template for collections with a conscience. Valentino’s Pierpaolo Piccioli chose to feature several Black models, challenging the token Black model stereotype. His message of inclusivity is resonating in a world in which our leaders seem keen to promote isolationism, otherism, and fear. Piccioli said, ‘The only way to make couture alive today is to embrace different women’s identities and cultures.’ I firmly stand with this sentiment. In our current political climate I find it is important to showcase the Black female figure not only as strong, but elevated and empowered, yet divine.”
