Before fashion photography existed, illustrators were an important part of the fashion industry, it was their work that was featured in only the best magazines because there was no campaign ads.
Today fashion illustration is still important but to the masses who follow fashion it has unfortunately lost its value; art collectors and art lovers are still attracted to fashion illustration.
I personally adore them and wish I had a collection to hang around the house.
I couple of months ago I did a feature about fashion illustrator Tanya Ling. I am constantly on the look out for discovering fashion illustrators. Today I bring you the works of illustrator Gladys Perint Palmer.
