Second edition in a unique series dedicated to the rich and colorful world of fashion illustration in Japan. Again, artists featured have been chosen according to emotive rather than logical criteria. In essence Mondofragile 2 (Fragile World) is a dream come true, a massive compilation of images that transcend the differences between Japanese and Western cultures and provide visual insight into the special approach the Japanese take to color. These illustrations are greatly influenced by the simplicity of intuition that is a fundamental to Japanese culture. It's an influence that gives new meaning to mundane elements in life such as space, gesture and routine daily activities and offers great inspiration to all those involved in fashion illustration, design or figurative art. Just dwelling for a moment upon the most evocative can be a satisfying experience, a newfound perception of a shared, perhaps fragile, world.

From the cute and funny to the weird and frankly disturbing, see here what happens when you give a creative designer a pen and a few hours alone with their own imagination. The results are sometimes beautiful, sometimes entertaining and sometimes a little bit scary - but all highly entertaining! From America to France to Japan, the latest in the weird and wonderful world of character design."
