IZAK ZENOU: THE MAN WHO DRAWS FASHION INTO LIFE
When the fashion world needs a dash of elegance, wit, and a sly wink—it calls Izak Zenou. Recognized as one of the most celebrated fashion illustrators of our era, Izak is as fluent in glamour as he is in irony. His work radiates joie de vivre: women with long legs and longer stories, chic with a twist, sophistication with a knowing smile.
With an enviable résumé that reads like the guest list at the Met Gala, Izak has sketched his way into the worlds of Celine, Chanel, Estée Lauder, Guerlain, Henri Bendel, Kiton, Lippault, Elle, Travel & Leisure, Marie Claire, and Vogue (that’s just a taste). His illustrations don’t just accompany fashion—they define it. They’ve shaped a generation’s visual language, turning doodles into desire and sketches into icons.
Prolific? Absolutely. Effortless? Seemingly. Joy-inducing? Always.

“Everything inspires me! It can be a gesture, an expression, or a perfect imperfection. It can be the way a piece of clothing translates into body language, the way a ray of light hits a surface, the sound of a word, or a piece of music—I love music. My senses, somehow, connect the dots and communicate directly to my hand. My work is spontaneous and effortless. Sometimes, I get surprised by what I’m drawing, and I like that. It's like whatever I'm drawing is channeled from within me. I always want my drawings to feel lighthearted, relatable, and warm. Through my many years of being a fashion illustrator, working with some really great brands like Henri Bendel, whom I worked with for over 20 years, I realized how my work makes high luxury into something familiar and approachable while still being aspirational. That’s how I see my work. Whatever the project - for licensing it could be a notebook, a scarf, a t-shirt, luggage, and even dinnerware—I like to help brands make high-quality products that are desirable and unique yet truly ownable. For me, this is where art and commerce meet. ”
