Today I bring you a little bit of whimsy to set you off for the weekend in the right frame of mind!
These delicious illustrations are by the talented French designer Izak Zenou, who has created his signature style, specialising in fashion illustration.
I love the very Parisian feel to his drawings. His women are tall, long legged and happy. They float around in today’s busy world looking happy and carefree, content to be beautiful. And who has never wanted to do that?!

His pictures make me think of my girls, striding out confidently, having fun with their friends…., preferably in high heels and with a small dog in tow! 🙂

But IZAK doesn’t only illustrate, he has also designed a line of bags, scarves and accessories for names such as Celine, Guerlain and La Samaritaine. Today his products and artwork are available at the New York store Henri Bendel.

And the really cool thing is that you can get customised stationery using his artwork! Party invitations, greeting cards, Izak’s drawings carrying your message – wonderful!

Wishing you all a whimsical weekend, be it in Paris, New York, Budapest or
Sydney; let us walk as tall as the girls drawn by Izak.

Bonjour Sharon,
Elles ont vraiment des "longs legs" ces parisiennes !
J'aime bien la technique du dessin à l'aquarelle, c'est très vivant.

Thanks Sharon for the very happy post. One cannot help but smile when you look at Izak's work. I am looking forward to researching his line. Thanks for sharing with us. Have a wonderful weekend! ~Jen
So wonderfully French! One of my girlfriends is collecting prints of Paris & environs…I'll send her over your link. Love her work. xx's
Wow what an incredible talent. I love this illustrations……I could imagine a grouping of them in a ladies home office (hummm maybe MY home office) or a fashion oriented teenaged girls room. They are so whimsical and elegant. Thanks for the introduction Sharon!
Very french pictures, very beautiful!
Fun whimsical post. i enjoyed the illustrations, endless legs and the happy lives of these young "parisiennes" Will go to Henri Bendel to check out his accessories.
How fun and cheerful! Thanks!
What cute illustrations. I can be found often with my dog in tow, but I don't generally walk her in high heels – with a 90lb german shepherd, I'm sure it's not recommended. 🙂
I hope you have a wonderful weekend, Sharon.
Thanks for my morning smile. These are too cute.
Sharon,
I love these!! I used to work at Henri Bendel and after seeing your post wish I still was there to scoop these items up with my 40% discount! LOL I will definitely have to use these as Thank You's and Party Invitations! Great post!!
i love this post! I just makes me happy! Thank you!

Love the illustrations – charming.
Fabulous… love his work Sharon… xv
Dear Sharon,
Thanks for the entertaining post. It just occurred to me (and I've been enjoying your blog, with its particularly lovely and evocative photographs, for only a few months) that I should send give you (and by extension your readers) a picture in return.
Don't worry…it's not by me. It's one of the most delightful/funny things I've ever seen…an 18th century print of a haute bourgeoisie lady giddily engrossed in feeding tidbits to her tiny, pampered, white doggie.
Folks can go to the following link, send me an email, and I'll send them the jpeg for printing.
Last year, I had about ten of these made and framed for various friends (male and female) who could justifiably be accused of being overly solicitous of their dogs' moment-to-moment happiness. I should add that the first person to have gotten a print was me (I have a house full of little, white, west highland terriers).

What a charming, whimsical way to end my work week and put me in just the right mood for the weekend. I was first introduced to Izak with Billy Joel's book "In a New York State of Mind" (https://www.amazon.com/York-State-Mind-Byron-Preiss/dp/0439553822#_) and love that this incredible artist can capture the heart of both of our cities so well. Have a lovely weekend, Cynthia
I do like his style!
There is a French flavour that comes through his work.
I am going to do some research and check out his bags and scarves…thank you for sharing his talent.
They make me smile!

Oh these are charming, they just capture the chic Parisian, don't they? Such talent! Wish I could paint myself into one of those Parisian street scenes. I could use a little Paris chic.
Have a happy weekend, Sharon!
