Piet Paris – Icon of Contemporary Fashion Illustration

For over 35 years, Piet Paris has set the standard in international fashion illustration. With his clear, stylized, and always surprising visual language, he captures the essence of fashion in just a few lines. His work is celebrated by leading magazines, designers, and fashion houses worldwide – and followed closely by collectors who recognize its rare artistic and cultural value.

Born Pieter ’t Hoen (The Hague, 1962), Piet Paris has built an impressive body of work. He served three times as the artistic director of the Arnhem Fashion Biennale and was the creative director of Harper’s Bazaar Netherlands. In 2008, he received the prestigious Grand Seigneur fashion award. He created iconic illustrations, displays, and window installations for Saks Fifth Avenue in New York.

In addition to his commissioned work, Paris continues to create autonomous, contemporary artworks that push the boundaries of the genre. His original pieces are now part of art collections around the globe. As a teacher at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, he also inspires a new generation of illustrators.

Piet Paris is a master of reduction. His work revolves around balance, proportion, composition, and flair. With a sharp eye for form and concept, he not only depicts fashion but also reflects on it – with beauty, intellect, and wit.

Piet Paris is represented by I Love Illustration Gallery & Agency.
