Objet d'Art: the intoxicating world of fashion illustration

It's Saturday night and I am busy doing nothing. I somehow stumble onto sketches of Manolo Blahnik shoes by the man himself. While the craze around Manolos is waning, his fantastical sketches of stilettos will always been admired by shoe aficionados.


I know of fashion illustrator Ruben Toledo from the book The One Hundred by Nina Garcia. I loved that book because of the divine illustrations on every page. He also did the whimsical Nordstrom ads and is married to fashion designer Isabel Toledo.



David Downton is not so much whimsy and surrealism as monochrome sophistication with a dash of colour. His portraits are good examples:


I love looking at fashion illustration. I love the silhouettes, the textures, the exuberance, the fantasy, the intense emotion. And now, excuse me while I google some more...

I love these illustrations too, and I have all three of Nina Garcia's books.
