Quentin Jones

Quentin Jones caught my eye in NYLONmag in the Feb issue and I instantly thought she was genius. The 27 year old model, who has a degree from Cambridge, was recently commissioned by Chanel's Peter Philips to design 6 animations for the fashion house. She uses mixed media to create images and motion pictures and its so quirky!!



She is an Illustrator, motion image extrodinaire and Central St. Martins MA graduate. Her work is purely unique and a style of which is captivating, innovative and stylised. Her mix of Illustration, image and writing brings together the Chanel brand in a brilliant and yet thought provoking way.

Her work has had a huge influence on how I think of quirkiness and what it means to fashion. Her artwork has a deep darkness and edginess to it which makes the onlooker more intreigued about the story behind the motions and imagery.




I love her work and think it could inspire us when thinking about Red or Dead and the use of mixed media.
