I was one of the artist featured in the fall edition of The Collective Magazine!
Here’s the link for the q&a: https://thecollectivemagazine.com/featured-artist-qa-alice-yumi/
The article is by Julia Youman:
“Alice Yumi is a Japanese-Brazilian artist and fashion designer currently based in Urbana. Through various mediums, she explores the body’s relationship to clothing and the environment, and blurs the line between fashion and art.”
Q: What are you most influenced by?
Alice: I just really like the idea of hoarding images in general. Before there was Pinterest, I would save folders and folders of images online not even in a way that made sense.
I still do that today with computer images and magazine and newspaper clippings. A lot of my choices in texture and color come from that.
I still get inspired a lot by fashion even if I’m just doing illustrations. I’m inspired by designers who cross that space between fashion and art and have a more conceptual way of viewing fashion design.
