Vel

Velwyn Yossy was born and grew up in Indonesia. She moved to Los Angeles in 2003 and received her B.S with Honors at Art Center College of Design in 2012. Not long after her graduation, she worked for Psyop TV as a motion designer then relocated to London where she is currently based. Her creative works range across the borders of illustration, design and fashion. She explores alternative ideas of beauty and feminine strength, presenting her subjects with depth and emotional complexity. Whilst her style is characterised by play and exaggeration of form and line, while maintaining a precision and cleanliness derived from her design background. Recently she has been commissioned by Nick Knight’s SHOWstudio to cover London Fashion Week and the Unseen Mqueen project coinciding with the Alexander McQueen – Savage Beauty exhibition at the V&A museum. Clients include SHOWstudio, Eye-D, Pysop, Disney, Nexus, DCP and BLT & Associates.
