Publication Date: Octobre 2011
Description : Orchestrated by David Downton, one of the leading figures in contemporary fashion illustration, this book offers a unique journey through the lives and works of the most fabulous fashion illustrators of the 20th century.From Giovanni Boldini, the socialite portraitist of the Belle Epoque, to the brilliant Antonio Lopez and Tony Viramontes, symbols of the glamour of the 1980s, not forgetting the great names of Etienne Drian, Erté, Andy Warhol or René Bouché, we discover a century of fashion drawings with a wealth of creativity and eclecticism. No less than 200 illustrations are presented, some of which are reproduced here for the first time since their initial publication. But make no mistake: this book is neither a catalog nor an exhaustive collection, it is rather the result of a bias, that of David Downton, and its main subject is above all the drawing. For if these artists each have their own style, they all have one thing in common: they are masters of the fluid and simple line, which beyond the garment, testify to their time and celebrate the great icons of fashion that have crossed it. A portfolio of David Downton’s work closes this kaleidoscope. An opportunity to appreciate the work of this outstanding artist.

Dior by Marc Bohan
195.00 € En savoir +BuyIcon Icon Opinion :
A slightly lesser-known figure than Yves Saint Laurent or John Galiano, Marc Bohan nevertheless contributed, from 1960 to 1988, to making Dior the highly revered house it is today. With his slightly more ethereal silhouettes, Marc Bohan left behind designs that are as sophisticated as they are timeless. And this book sheds new light on that period – a period documented and explained in the words of Jérôme Hanover, Christian Dior’s Director of Publications.
