Agent & Artists: Championing Fashion Illustration from Paris to the World
Founded in 2008, Agent & Artists has become one of Paris’s most respected illustration agencies, representing 18 exceptional illustrators whose work bridges the worlds of fashion, beauty, and design. With deep roots in both fashion design and fine arts, the agency has built a reputation for nurturing creative voices that thrive in both commercial campaigns and artistic collaborations.
What makes Agent & Artists distinctive is its dedication to hand-drawn artistry in an increasingly digital age. While today’s visual culture often leans heavily on technology, most of the agency’s illustrators continue to create with traditional materials — ink, watercolour, gouache, and pencil — before applying subtle digital refinements. This balance of analogue craft and digital precision ensures their work feels authentic yet contemporary, maintaining a tactile beauty that resonates with global brands and audiences alike.
The agency’s roster spans a wide range of styles, from bold, graphic silhouettes to delicate line work and richly coloured compositions. Yet, there is a common thread that runs through their portfolio: an emphasis on elegance, individuality, and the human touch. This diversity allows Agent & Artists to respond to briefs of all kinds, whether it’s creating visuals for high-profile advertising campaigns, fashion shows, luxury packaging, editorials, or live events.
Over the years, Agent & Artists has built enduring relationships with some of the world’s most prestigious fashion houses, beauty brands, and cultural institutions. By carefully pairing each project with the right illustrator, the agency has not only elevated the status of illustration within the fashion industry but has also highlighted the importance of storytelling and emotion in visual communication.
More than just an agency, Agent & Artists is a creative platform — a hub where the heritage of fine arts meets the innovation of contemporary fashion imagery. As the conversation around hand-crafted artistry continues in an era increasingly dominated by AI and digital tools, Agent & Artists stands as a reminder of the enduring magic of the illustrator’s touch.
From Paris to the global stage, the agency remains committed to giving its artists the freedom to explore, create, and inspire, while ensuring clients receive world-class artistry that speaks directly to the heart of fashion.
