Ever wanted fashionable backgrounds for your iPhone? They’re surprisingly hard to find – particularly if you want one that have the parallax effect (where you can see under the icons when you tilt the phone). Frustrated with the lack of selection, I figured out how to make some!
Click to download full-size images – you’ll need the full dimensions for the parallax effect to work.

If you have special requests for certain fashion or beauty inspired wallpapers/lock screens/backgrounds, leave them in the comments below and I’ll see if I can’t hook you up.
This is a great collection… my requests for you to add:
– Gucci
– Prada
– Balenciaga
– All the other big fashion brands/labels/designers
Thank you!! It’s cool that they are the kind that move too.
Great suggestions, Angeline! Any collections from SS16 in particular you’d like me to highlight?
how do i set up the moving background part of the wallpapers?
will this work on iPhone 5/5c?
Louisa(aa)(Q):
-No technical setup required – the parallax effect occurs due to the slight oversizing of the picture. Just set as wallpaper (home screen to see it move under your icons) and voila!
-These are sized for iPhone 6/6s, but since all the previous iPhones required smaller dimensions, it should work fine as a wallpaper/background for your iPhone 5/5c.
For your reference, optimal parallax dimensions for iPhone 5/5c/5s/iPod Touch 5th gen are 1392×744, and these are sized 1608×852 (optimal for iPhone 6/6s), so a crop job would be easy enough.
Whew! We so rarely get to be technical here. That was fun.
