Joel Miñana, lives in Barcelona and works as a fashion illustrator. He specializes in drawing live, as it was done in the 20’s. Apart from being a fashion illustrator, he is a professor of fashion history and design, offers new tools and shares information for everyone to expand their sources of inspiration. He gives lectures on the experience of illustrating live, the analysis of a collection and how to present it.

The illustrator was clear from the beginning that he wanted to translate his ideas into creative work, but he was not sure in which sector. He had always liked to tell stories through drawings instead of photographing and making videos.

His illustrations are different from the rest, as he can capture a moment with a few strokes, in case he draws live. Illustrating live allows him to narrate scenes, portray attendees and give space to unique anecdotes. The highlight of his work is when the models parade ready to unveil the new trends.

His first fashion show in which he worked as an illustrator was at an Haute Couture fashion show in Paris, in front of the Eiffel Tower.

He went to Bridal Fashion Week; in that edition he again became the illustrator who captures moments in the backstage and Front Row where he had many blank pages and now those pages are full of anecdotes and colors. 

Some of his illustrations have appeared in important media and as communication supports of big companies.
