Welcome to “Fashionize 2 – Illustration Will Rule the World”, the newest release from Happy Books. Curated by the illustrious Italian illustrating duo of Cristiana Valentini and Gabriele Fantuzzi aka Delicatessen, this wide-ranging survey uncovers the permeating tendencies of images from commercial illustration and fashion design into the everyday fabric of our existence. Fueling the metamorphosis from sneakers to t-shirts, from wallpaper to clothes to furniture and household products, are some of the most imaginative and creative minds from Europe and Japan. Cheeky and sophisticated, extraordinary but pragmatic, they create a world balanced between innovative, edgy design and the practical every day objects that somehow manage to escape the monotony of the strictly useful. “Fashionize 2” exquisitely illustrates and exemplifies the essential role illustration plays into every design and creative field and platform.
