T-Shirt book, Hotel Stories, In The Spirit of the Hamptons, The Allure
of Women and The Little Black Dress will release Fashion
People by Gladys Perint Palmer. An illustrator
can capture precisely the right moment and re-create any situation even
better than a photographer. An astute observer of the fashion scene since
the early '80s, Gladys Perint Palmer travels frequently to Paris, Milan,
London and New York, where she meets and mingles with designers, models,
photographers, and celebrities. With her keen understanding of their habits,
talents and personalities, she creates revealing caricatures. A delicious
sashay through the fantasy world of fashion, these sketches, accompanied
by her smart and witty text, form the perfect guide to learning who is
who and what is what in this alternate universe. Each drawing is a story.
Each story is a person. Everybody who counts in fashion is in these pages.
A highly amusing book, Fashion People will be appreciated as a historical
document by all those who are in the know!
Gladys Perint Palmer studied fashion design at St. Martin's
School of Art in London and fashion illustration at Parsons School of
Design, New York. As fashion editor of the San Francisco Examiner,
she developed a fine sense of the absurd and cultivated a true appreciation
of the ridiculous- prerequisites for covering the fashion capitals of
New York, Milan, Paris and London, which proved fertile ground for her
pen and pencil. Palmer's writing and illustrations have appeared in the
New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the New Yorker,
Elle, Vogue, L'Officiel and Marie Claire.
Colin McDowell is a fashion historian
who writes and broadcasts about both contemporary and historical costume.
He is a visiting Professor at the London Institute, Chairman of the Costume
Society of Great Britain and Senior Fashion writer of the London Sunday
Times.
