today i am featuring a gorgeous book that was bought for me as a birthday gift - 100 Years of Fashion Illustration...
as the name suggests this HUGE book is packed with so many illustrations throughout the years ... it showcases the different styles from 1900 to present day and you can follow through to see how the trends have changed ...
the book starts in 1900:
art deco style dominates from the mid 1920's:
some elegant sketches from late 1940's:
and from 1990 onwards there are so many styles, quirky, simplistic, graphic, painterly, photographic...
