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 Condé 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 over seventy years of Vogue for this inspired volume, featuring the work of hundreds of artists.
