Toronto cartoonist Michelle LeFade finds inspiration in images of beautiful women and beautiful clothes. She takes images you might've seen before—Rihanna's i-D cover, pieces by British designer Craig Green—and flips them into emotive, larger-than-life collages and fashion illustrations. Various fabrics and digital images mash up with paints and crayons to create the textures of the swagger-first worlds her subjects live in. Browse more of LeFade's work here, and peep her Instagram for detailed close-ups and more.
