I have always been in love with fashion illustration. Yesterday I went to the
Society of Illustrators new exhibit
In the Line of Fashion. This beautiful and very inspiring exhibit showcased fashion illustrations from the 20's through 2008. Illustrations used to be more prominent in fashion magazines than they are now and peaked in the 40's and 50's. This exhibit has inspired me to break out the old sketch book and start illustrating again. It's been years, I may be rusty, but it may be time to get started again. Pictured here are a few of my favorites from the show. Top to bottom:
Untitled by Alvaro (date unknown),
Untitled by McClelland Barclay (40's),
The Bumble Bee Girl by Karen Santry(2007)

wonderful and inspiring. I have noticed many illustrations in my 1950s magazines but an increase in photos as well.
I remember the use of illustrations in 80's magazines. Now they are hard to find.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR BLOG AND COMPLIMENT. I SEND YOU MANY HUGS AND SMILES......
Thank you so much, Alvaro. You are an inspiration. I have started sketching again but can only begin to dream of ever being as talented as you. What an honor. xoxo
