Malinda Franklin (Mal F)

Mal is a fashion illustrator based in Brooklyn, New York. A graduate of Parsons The New School for Design, Mal’s illustrations are inspired by her longtime interest in fashion theory and how it manifests itself physically through the liminal space of the body as clothing. She brings her nearly two decades of fashion industry experience as a menswear designer, men’s technical designer and tailor to her creative process, creating surreal, other-worldly works of art. Mal’s primary medium is digital drawing, in addition to works created physically using pencil, pen, and marker.
