Cally Blackman’s gorgeous 100 YEARS OF FASHION ILLUSTRATION, published by super-cool British publisher Laurence King, is featured on the Drawn blog today:
Loaded with images spanning a century of fashion design, the book is not only a document of the evolution of culture and fashion. It also serves as a visual timeline of illustration techniques, materials, and styles wherein the forms of each successive decade seem to be a reaction to the one that preceded it.... Though if aliens found the book they’d surely be convinced that our planet was populated entirely by thin, elegant, well-dressed women, and two or three dorky-looking guys with really neat haircuts.
And fashionistas, keep an eye out for Laurence King’s book on contemporary footwear design NEW SHOES by Sue Huey and Rebecca Proctor, published in June.
