I just discovered illustrator Laura Laine, though I'd seen her work in ads. She does incredibly flowing line work, and I love how she gives the figures hair an over-the-top life of its own.
Here's what it says about Laine on her Facebook page:

She has studied fashion design at University of Art and Design Helsinki, but during her studies focused on fashion illustration. After completing her studies she has been working full-time as a freelace illustrator and is also teaching fashion illustration at the university.

The illustration with the dancer on one leg is amazing!
