100 Years of Fashion Illustration
Product Description
A visual feast of 400 dazzling images, this is a comprehensive survey of the genre over the last century. The book also offers an overview of the development of fashion, as seen through the eyes of the greatest illustrators of the day. Early in the century fashion illustration reflected new, liberating currents in art and culture, such as the exoticism of the Ballets Russes, while the postwar period saw inspiration from the great Parisian couturiers. After the dominance of the celebrity fashion photographer in the ’60s, a new generation of illustrators emerged, embracing the medium of the computer, while many returned to more traditional techniques.

You might as well print out a copy of the front cover, because the contents of this book are rather disappointing.

This is a quality, stunning beautiful book. Enormous with beautiful color illustrations on every page. I bought it as a present for a young woman and after it arrived I decided to get one for myself too, for those times when you just want to be entertained in a lovely and fun way.

It needed more coverage on Italian Moda.
But the whole expose is great.
I would recommend it.
Great approach to the new and the classic.
