Some of the illustrations in this book are quite stunning delicate paintings. Others are really weird collages. All in all this book is a great reference for fashion illustration styles over many decades. I am particularly fond of the 1960s and beyond but there are a few really stunning 1900s fashion advertisements that bring to mind the graphic patterned filled work of Aubrey Beardsley. Also included are some of my favorite more well-known contemporary fashion illustrators- Ruben Toledo, Jean Philippe Delhomme, and Graham Rounthwaite. You can get a copy of this book right here.
