Mélanie Boureau is a self-taught independent illustrator. Starting her career in social work, she then studied art history, and developed a passion for fashion, ornament, and the decorative arts. She specialises in a retro style that refers both to traditional drawing and modern graphic techniques. Alongside her brand work, she loves to draw women with a carefree sense of freedom, often rediscovering the graphic language and fashion of the ninneteen-twenties. Location: Toulouse, France.
