ABOUT
Jacky Marshall, Known as "Jacky Blue", is an illustrator and designer well known in the fashion industry for her innovative use of color and ability to turn simple linework into striking silhouettes. Informed by her tenured experience as a designer, Jacky creates bold and feminine compositions which can only be attributed to her unique skill set and vision. Originally from Kent, England, Jacky earned her Master’s from the Royal College of Art and moved to New York to work on the design team for brands including Calvin Klein, Narciso Rodriguez, and Donna Karan Collection. During her time designing for global brands, Jacky's art came to life on the runway. Her illustrations, however, remained a hidden treasure, known only to those behind the scenes of the fashion world. When brands began asking to feature the illustrations of her designs as prints in their collection, she started to see that her love for illustration could reach beyond the design room. In 2017, Jacky transitioned to illustrating full time—her long-time passion. Shortly after founding her illustration studio, Jacky quickly gained notoriety on Instagram. By taking to social media, Jacky has been able to take what once could only be seen pinned on the walls of showrooms and studios and grant access to artists and art lovers alike. Her work has now been shown in multiple exhibits at the Fashion Illustration Gallery in London and featured by Marc Jacobs and Stella McCartney. Jacky is currently based in New York City and is available for private commissions.
Many a few of these works were drawn directly from "Live model" internet ZOOM sessions during Covid. Visit here Instagram to see more of her juicy works.
