An Ordinary Day in NYC
2021 | Illustration & GIF | Brooks Brothers
Illustration #6 (in GIF) features a New Yorker in a street style outfit who just went shopping with her dog in the Manhattan neighbourhood.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
We were invited by Brooks Brothers to create a series of illustrations inspired by the New York City culture and the latest fashion collection of Brooks Brothers launched in Hong Kong.
The drawings visualise several classic but iconic New Yorker profiles that any of us may run into on an ordinary day in NYC. The work-in-progress timelapse videos demonstrate an interesting part of our drawing process using the digital application ProCreate.
Brooks Brothers is the oldest clothing retailer in the United States. In the latest campaign “New York - A City Full of Vigor and Vitality”, the brand embodies the spirit of NYC where the city and its cultural works are inextricably linked.
