Bouche, Portrait of Mona Bismarck, Vogue US
Over the weekend I was able to attend the Design Museum's latest exhibition 'Drawing Fashion', which opened earlier last week on November 3rd. The exhibition celebrates a unique collection of some of the most remarkable fashion illustrations from the twentieth and twenty first centuries.
'Drawing Fashion' showcases a number of fashion illustrators at their creative heights, which is evident simply from seeing the dates on the artwork displayed. I was amazed at the styles and beautifully created work that had been included in the show. A particular highlight of the exhibition was following the timeline of how fashion illustration had developed from the 1910's right through to modern day.
One of my favourite pieces of 'Drawing Fashion' is shown above. The simple gestures of the pencil and discretion of the detail used instantly attracted me to the image. Fortunately a number of other pieces in the exhibition share similar qualities which is why I would recommend that you go to this show which will remain at the Design Museum, London until 06 March 2011.
