The Chain, for Teen VOGUE

•

I was commissioned by Teen VOGUE to draw a portrait of Ruthie & Christina of The Chain, a non-profit peer support network for women in fashion and entertainment struggling with eating disorders. For the portrait, I referenced a photo of them taken by Chelsy Mitchell, and drew their objects of power around them: a mirror in the shape of a heart, a side-eye, bold lipstick and some lit sunglasses. They look confident in their gaze, and I wanted the illustration to generate the same energy.
