Nude by Marc-Antoine Coulon

Nude was developed in collaboration with Marc-Antoine Coulon, one of the world’s leading fashion illustrators. Recognised for his expressive fashion drawings, Coulon’s distinctive style combines the softness of delicate illustrations with the confident, powerful character of his pencil strokes. His work has been associated with major luxury fashion houses as well as French and international publications.

Nude was conceived as a universal base for depicting skin tones, making it particularly useful for fashion illustration, portraiture, figurative drawing and other artwork where subtle complexion tones are required. Its versatile character also makes it an interesting addition to a broader artist’s ink collection.

Shogun by Kenzo Takada

Shogun was created in collaboration with Kenzo Takada, the internationally renowned Japanese fashion designer whose work brought together Japanese influences and an expressive, globally recognised design aesthetic.

This striking black ink is inspired by a star-filled night and is enhanced with fine red and gold glitter. The shimmering accents evoke the rich colours and decorative qualities of armour from the Shogun era, an aspect of Japanese history that particularly fascinated Takada. The combination of deep black and metallic-looking shimmer gives the ink a dramatic and luxurious appearance, making it especially effective for decorative writing, illustration, lettering and creative artwork.
