Talent Highlight: The Faaaaabulous Australian Fashion Illustrator, Aaron Favaloro

If it wasn't for Instagram, I would have never discovered the talents of so many photographers, artists, and overall creative people. I truly can't believe how much I've enjoyed Instagram throughout these past four years because it was a social and business media platform that initially held no interest for me. And yet, I have gotten so much inspiration and enjoyment from the people I've discovered on Instagram.

For instance...

Two days ago while visiting someone else's Instagram feed, I was led to other feed that when I landed on the page, I verbally said out loud to myself, "OMG...this is freaking faaaaaaabulous!!!!" So of course, like so many of us on Instagram, I started scrolling through all the images; becoming more and more addicted to what I was seeing. At one point, I spotted a link at the top of the page that led me to the website of the artist. And the second the site loaded, I immediately knew that I wanted to share his talent on my blog because, to me, he's special.

Allow me to introduce to you, Australian fashion illustrator, Aaron Favaloro...

At school, Aaron used to get into trouble for adorning his math book with drawings. Now one of his illustrations hangs in Oprah Winfrey’s house.

He has cemented his place at the top of fashion illustration, and has continued his rise by being recognized by Kim Kardashian, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Demi Moore and Donatella Versace to name a few. He has also worked with prestigious companies such as: Rolls Royce, Sisley, Moet, Swarovski, Estee Lauder and Bvlgari who have all chosen to collaborate with Aaron.

Now I'm going to warn you, I had the most difficult time choosing examples of his illustrations because a) I'm a Libra, and Libra's would rather eat a box of thumbtack's than make a decision, and b) every single one of his illustrations were like delicious eye candy, that I found it challenging to choose only a dozen.

So guess what? I had to choose a dozen and a half!

But don't worry, you'll have so much fun scrolling through them because each one will put a smile on your face. And please take notice to how detailed Aaron's work is. He has a gift for making his illustrations come alive. You can almost see them moving!

Oh, and when you're done, please take a quick second to visit his website and check out his animated website header. It's so damn cute!

Enjoy...
