JSK is a freelance Fashion illustrator and Art Director based in Seoul and Sydney. He created his very own personal brand Susu with a very special character known as Susu Girls. It’s thin, long legged, short-haired characters, which are JSK's signature style illustration. Susu represents a confident woman who is truly 'of the moment'.JSK is one of my favourite illustrator as obviously, his work is different from the other illustrations, he combines his fashion figures with beautiful hand drawn background, making his artwork more interesting and  they are more of a poster-kind of art than just drawings. It's cool to have our own style and that's what JSK is renowned for ,his illustrations of Susu are really awesome, there's no possibility to not to be stunned by them at the first sight.

The fast fashion Thailand

Gotzill, a Thailand based illustrator and freelance fashion designer. I first knew Gotzill was  from his Instagram profile. Gotzill is not yet a renowned designer but he is definitely a potential upcoming. To be subjective, i don't see Gotzill's work weaker than the other international illustrators, just maybe he hasn't got the chance to show off his great talent. His style is filled with originality which anyone of us can tell from the works below. Gotzill shows great technique in creating various movements of fashion figures by using pencil sketch and water color. These illustrations are simply cool and chic for me, he injects personal style into his artwork with breaking through the rule of dull standing poses of model, which make his work out-stand among the sea of illustrations work. I hope you guys will also like

Gotzill's work.  Between, there's still a lot of talented fashion people in Thailand that we haven't know yet, i'll try to introduce  as much as I can because honestly I am a Thai-pop fashion obsessor , you seriously  got to know more about Thai Fashion, it's too cool!
