The New Yorker Cover - Sep 9, 2019

Titled "Trendsetter," the image displays a strikingly graphic portrait of a woman against a vibrant, solid red background. She is dressed in a dramatic black-and-white polka-dot dress with a high collar and a full, flowing skirt. Her hair is styled in a large, black updo, and she wears large hoop earrings. Her face is rendered with minimalist detail, yet she has a confident and direct gaze. A sliver of her face and neck is highlighted in white, creating a sense of dimension and light. The artist's initials, "MF," are contained in a circle in the bottom right corner.

Artistic Insight

This cover is a quintessential example of Malika Favre's signature style, often described as "Pop Art meets Op Art." Her work is characterized by the use of bold, flat colors, strong positive and negative space, and elegant, simplified lines to create striking compositions.

Favre's genius lies in her minimalism and her ability to tell a story with the most essential forms. In "Trendsetter," the interplay between the polka dots and the woman's form is a masterclass in optical effect; the pattern both defines her shape and creates a sense of movement. The clever use of light and shadow—distilled into a simple sliver of white on her face—sculpts her features and gives the flat image a surprising sense of volume. The cover, created for the magazine's Style Issue, is a celebration of high fashion, confidence, and the power of a bold pattern, perfectly capturing the essence of a fashion-forward individual who is both timeless and modern.
