Fashion Figures

I love fashion illustration but I miss the old school fashion illustration - the kind where it actually depicted the clothes; the kind where the designer needed an illustrator to render the fabrics and all the details; the kind that has almost disappeared. I do love the modern fashion illustration that appears in editorial and more predominantly in advertising via packaging, bags, commercials, etc., but sometimes it's nice to see the "fashion," where the apparel is the emphasis.

I suck at Photoshop so I'm giving it a go by practicing with some of my fave pieces from the recent Fall Collections: from left to right - Versace, Christian Dior Couture, and Balmain.
