The Unionmade 2011 Spring/Summer lookbook shows off the fashion company's latest duds in an entirely untraditional manner. Instead of going the established route of organizing an editorial with a series of models and a photographer, the California retailer decided to team up with artist Richard Haines to illustrate friends of the company for the Unionmade 2011 Spring/Summer lookbook, with each of the outfits featured in the illustrations available for purchase through its website.
The 3-year old, San Francisco-based company has scored with this outside-the-box idea. Not only are the illustrations personable and detailed, the clothing and style have a distinctive feel and stand out. By photogarphing average, everyday friends of the company, the Unionmade 2011 Spring/Summer lookbook makes it easy for the viewer of the series to imagine themselves in the collection.
