Fashion watercolor by Kareem lliya in New York City.

Born in Lebanon in the 60s, Iliya came to the US to study fashion design in Texas (of all places) and then moved to New York City to work as a fashion artist. Since then his stunning yet simple works have been featured in just about every fashion magazine imaginable.

What I like about this piece the most is how the light shines through the woman but not her clothing. I don’t know why I like that, I just do. Ilya’s simple style is inspiring.

I’d pay $2 to see Ilya at work and watch how he pulls off these silhouettes.
