Fashion Drawings in Vogue by Carl Erickson by William Packer

BOOK OF THE WEEK

There has been a huge upsurge of interest in fashion illustration recently, with exhibitions and books published on the subject. I have quite a few books and original illustrations from 1890s upwards which I will post in the coming weeks. As fahsion illustration combines two of my loves, fashion and art I am espically passionate about it! I believe that these 'illustrations' stand up in their own right as art! Infact many artists especially in the past all had brushes with fashion! From Andy Warhol to Salvador Dali. This is a great book by William Packer showing the work that the amazing Erikson did over the years.
