The latest illustration and animation commissions for Paul Smith, Shinola, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and more!

Welcome to the resistance, Paul Smith! The trend of upscale fashion brands employing illustrations in their socials doesn't seem to show any sign of slowing down... This lovely animation for Paul Smith's latest collection is our pick of the week for the confident art direction and concept with fantastic execution by Stephen Crowe. It's definitely not what we would normally expect from this brand, which makes it even more lovely to see. Have a peek below along with the rest of this week's picks!
