There are big names and unknowns in this book, and I have favorites in each category. What's illuminating is how far removed these illustrations are from technical drawings. Sonia Rykiel's drawings are particularly interesting because they almost look like chinese calligraphy -- and yet they give a perfect sense of how a garment is supposed to hit the eye.

David Downton’s fashion illustration and celebrity portraiture is truly stunning.. Lovely painterly style is gracefully loose yet is able to capture fine detail. Gorgeous stuff… wish his prints weren’t all sold out.

Absolutely loved the work of Kareem Iliya… reminds me of Mats Gustafson but with bolder patterns. These watercolor illustrations are so inspiring. Great color sense… great everything, really.
