Laura Laine, a talented fashion illustrator who was born in 1983 in Finland, was considered as a great marvellously brilliant young Scandinavian. She studied fashion design at the University of Art and Design Helsinki with an interest mainly on fashion illustrator. After completing her studies, she worked as a freelance illustrator with famous brands now a days which are Zara, Tommy Hilfiger, H&M, Iben Hooej, Daniel Palilo, The New York Times Magazine, Elle Girl, The Guardian, Pap Magazine, Vogue Nippon, GAP, Telegraph, Rad Hourani, Prada, Muse Magazine, and Wunder. She has also displayed in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
She is known as her predominantly black and white illustrations which are hauntingly beautiful and delicate. She has an incredibly fine and detailed line work, which manages the suggest a great variety of textures (furs, silk, wool, leather, etc). Furthermore, there is a certain motion quality to her illustrations which is conveyed by the gracefully twisted body postures and the splendidly flowing long hair of her characters.
Her style is great and not so conscious about. She simply makes working in her illustrations, painting what she feels like at the moment. Most of her illustrations are quiet unique with black and white imagery of long-haired females caught in almost theatrical movements, which exude femininity, sensuality and sophistication. The skinny legs emphasized or more focused to the the details of the dress (patterns, leather, etc). She also played with the styles of long-haired which have the roles of sophistication (on how the hair move along with the outfits' style). As for the femininity and sensuality, they come from all of the elements that go together.
"Fashion is impressive I discover enormously inspiring and like to stay as an aspect of my work, but I have not at all be apologetic of giving up the genuine designing" - Laura
