Renderings of fantasy; that's pretty much what the fashion industry and all of its offshoots are, right? Give me a dream, show it to me so that I can see it somewhere besides the back of my eyelids. Give me a representation of something I thought couldn't be looked at here, in public, with others. Give me your fantasy, or feed me mine. That's it. Fashion illustration is the passing along of fantasy.
Autumn Whitehurst's work is a sweet fantasy, a girlish, glamorous, laze with phantom lollipops. It's fashion candy. Bee stung lips, honey-colored complexions, syrupy, doe-eyed stares. Penny candy for the pretty people.
