Fashion Drawing in Vogue

The celebration of the art of looking good has always demanded talent, vision and style, and the artists recruited to fill the pages of Vogue since 1909 when it was taken over by Cond Nast have possessed these qualities in abundance. Their brilliant drawings chronicle not only fashion but also, with wit and delicacy, the whole comedy of manners that is the international social round. William Packer, painter, writer and art critic, has collected the very best drawings from seven decades (1920s80s) of Vogue . This inspired volume features the work of hundreds of artists, including: Edouard Benito, Ren Bouch, Pierre Brissaud, Salvador Dal, Jean Dupas, Eric, Polly Francis, Ruth Grafstrom, Ren Gruau, Paul Iribe, Tom Keogh, Georges Lepape, Andr Marty, Harriet Meserolae, Jean Patou, Douglas Pollard, Marcel Verts and John Ward.
