I just added two GREAT books to my library and I highly recommend them to any fashion design enthusiast!
"This is, above all else, a book of drawings, just drawings: and I think it is beautiful" - David Hockney
Indeed, it is... Prior to the "super model", fashion was presented by way of the illustrator. Images in magazines and catalogues used fashion illustrations to share the latest designs with it's public. Great illustrators such as Erte', Jean Patu', 'Eric', and even Salvador Dali graced the covers of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. These books are a tribute to the colorful lives of those artists and the designers!
