SOPHIE GRIOTTO

Sophie Griotto is a fashion illustrator from French who has some very unique illustrations in her portfolio. With a style that mixes fashion illustration and trends, Griootto works freelance on advertising campaigns and frequently illustrates the pages of fashion magazine and sites. 

She attended the school of visual arts when she turned 5years old, and the School of Applied Arts in France where she developed her graphic commutation skills. Since i was a child, she started attending art classes and she wanted to become a painter. She started drawing and painting before she could even write. In 1998, she started working for a parisienne art agency whose budget was primarily focused on beauty and luxury, then she found herself working as a story boarder which involved putting ideas on paper for ad campaigns. Because of this job, she became a fashion illustrator and in 5 years time she had mastered how to draw women from different angles and in different situations. 

She works with more traditional tools like inks and pencils but also with her tablet graphic Wacom. And she works on an illustration much like a fashion designer: mood boards, sketches, selection of fabrics, creation of styles. Most brands she work with use photography, and with these clients her style is rather realistic. She work for Swatch Jewels resonated internationally. Since 2008, she showcased her digraphic canvas at the Galleries Lafayette Maison in Paris. She worked for Dior, Clarins, Wolkswagen, Elle Magazine, Shiseido. She also illustrated a style book “Cultive ton look” and Katie Fforde’s  cover books. 

She loves her job because her art can be applied in different fields, and this is the beauty of it. She enjoy her French touch and great sense of fashion a lot.
