Supporting the range of handbags are 10 unique visuals that showcase MOOVAL and CITY AIR. They are the creations of world-renowned fashion illustrator Ekaterina Koroleva. Her work is instantly recognisable by their delicate figure drawings and watercolour accents. “I like to keep my characters unfinished and edgy to give the audience more space for interpretation,” she says. Berlin-based Koroleva says that the illustrations have been designed to showcase how the products fit into everyday life for modern women. “It’s always nice when art meets business and we find a creative way to collaborate,” says Koroleva.
