BEFORE THE RUNWAY : On Fashion Illustration

style layout by lisa


"Each path of ideas are carefully unraveled when sketches of the mind land on paper when creating the next iconic fashion collection. Fashion Illustrators are the beginning of the runway and into our wardrobes and I felt it was time to show some love to some of the most recognizable yet hidden talent in the world". ~ lisa

"The fashion eras of the 1940's, 50's and 60's continue to remain a thread that runs thru modern fashion looks. From the iconic hats of Audrey Hepburn to the boutique frocks of SoHo, designers all seem to find their way into enticing new clientele with exaggerating styles reminiscent of the past".
