Malika Favre

Malika Favre is a French artist and illustrator known for her bold minimalism, and vibrant use of colour. Her work bridges art, design, and fashion, celebrated for its ability to strip forms to their essence while keeping a playful, sensual edge.

Born in Paris and based between Barcelona and London, she has collaborated with The New Yorker, Vogue, BAFTA, Montreux Jazz Festival, and Penguin Books, among others. Beyond her commercial commissions, she releases limited editions and personal projects exploring identity, geometry and the female form.

In 2020 she co-founded I Can’t Afford This But Maybe She Can, a design-curation platform spotlighting bold and beautiful objects from around the world.
