Carlotta Hey

Australian based creative Carlotta Hey has had a long and extensive career in the fashion industry.
Originally from Germany with a background in fashion design, Hey spent the last two decades designing for the fashion industry until venturing out into her own creative label, allowing her to explore her artistic vision more freely.

Her artworks are a representation of her interest in the human and feminine form. She tries to capture the presence of her subjects and entices you into their world.
Currently, she is focusing primarily on fashion illustrations, where she views clothing as a deeply personal form of self-expression. In her work, the human body adorned in garments becomes a powerful vehicle for communication.
Hey ensures that the body and its accoutrements take centre stage through her compositional choices and limited colour palette, which gives room to conjure the texture of the materials while conveying all the emotions of the subject.

Hey aspires to take her fashion illustration background to a larger format, blurring the lines between traditional Fashion Illustration and Fine Art.
