Irina's primary focus as a book author is fashion drawing, but her creative interests extend beyond fashion illustration and design. Her range of creations as a book author is diverse, reflecting her skills as an illustrator and visual artist.

While not all of Irina's works center around fashion, all of Irina's books feature her unique fashion-inspired style.
