A new exhibition featuring vintage fashion illustrations is coming to London as part of Fashion Week.
Held by Gray M.C.A. at Gallery 8 in St James’s, the exhibit will feature a series of illustrations from the 1940s to the 1970s, alongside present day portraits.
Some of the drawings have never been seen before, while others have appeared in the pages of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and L’Officiel.
