Jenny Walton

Walton may be fashion director at The Sartorialist and a street-style star in her own right (with an enviable collection of both Gucci and vintage to boot), but what first drew us to her feed were the elegant, impeccably dressed sketches.

Donald Robertson

@drawbertson

Come for the impossibly fun artwork—whether on canvas, skateboard decks, stilettos, or even garbage cans—stay for the adorable two-year-old twins. Either way, this Instagram feed is bound to become your happy place.

Don't let all the black and white fool you: These pencil portraits of fashion types (designers, store managers, public relations coordinators) have a ton of personality.

Kelly Smith

@birdyandme

Mermaids, fairy tales, ballerinas, and ball gowns—it doesn't get much more romantic than this Aussie illustrator's feed. She's been tapped by such brands as Valentino, Armani, and Net-A-Porter—but you can pick up a print for yourself on her website for less than $100, too.

Lim creates gorgeous renderings of the European runway shows—and watching her process through the short videos she posts on Instagram is oddly entrancing.

David Downton

@daviddownton

Even if you don't know him by name, there's a good chance you'll recognize Downton's work; he's been in the game for two decades now, and has become a go-to illustrator for Vanity Fair, Vogue, Chanel, Dior, Barneys—sensing a trend here? If you like Fashion with a capital F, then this is the feed for you.

Julie Houts

@jooleeloren

Finally, someone who understands the meme-able potential of our relationship with clothing! After all, as this illustrator-cum-J.Crew designer clearly knows, fashion doesn't always need to take itself so seriously.

Kelly Beeman

@kellymariebeeman

Beeman's illustrations look like the kind of work you'd expect to see in a museum—except if you look closely, you'll realize the figures she paints are dressed in Delpozo, J.W. Anderson, and Loewe.
