Sculptural rings, watercolor eye shadows, painted dresses--six art-world denizens describe fashion, beauty, and their favorite works.

Fafi, graffiti artist

Moomin: The Complete Tove Jansson Comic Strip by Tove Jansson (Drawn and Quarterly). "I read Tove's books when I was a young girl, and that's what inspired me to become an artist and imagine my own world and characters."

M.A.C. Fafi Iridescent Powder/Pressed in Belightful and Lipstick in Strawbaby. "I treated the product packaging as if it were a canvas. I wanted to create art that every girl could relate to."

Prada organza dress. "The Prada collection with James Jean illustrations is the most moving art-and-fashion collaboration I've seen. This isn't just a dress with a drawing on it, it's an authentic piece of art."

Tokyo. "When I'm there visiting, I can just look around me to find inspiration."

Anh Duong, painter
