About Fashion People, 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 1980s, 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 A highly amusing book, Fashion People will be appreciated as a historical document by all those who are in the know!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.
