Sobocki, so good
Poland native Przemek Sobocki has carved himself a niche in the fashion world with eye-catching illustrations for magazine features. Balenciaga, Prada and Yohji Yamamoto are among the designers from which Sobocki has drawn inspiration for his dreamy landscapes in which young girls flounce around in their two-dimensional designer duds. Using a technique in which blurry photographs are merged with sketches, Sobocki acts as the stylist, the model and the photographer in his fashion narratives.
Trained in architecture, interior design and fashion, Sobocki taught illustration before he teamed up with underground magazines Hint Mag and Krash Japan. In 2004, he came to Japan for an exhibition with streetwear publication NYLON, during which he was approached by his current business partner Bertie Russell to create a new line of graphic T-shirts called FouR.
