Fashionable Lines
The Art of Drawing Fashion is one that was an often neglected art form and thirty years ago when Munich born Joelle Chariau started collecting fashion illustration, she had no problem gathering them since no one wanted them. Her collection ‘Drawing Fashion’ covers the 20th and 21st century from Galerie Bartsche Chariau and is being shown for the first time in London this coming November. Co -curated by fashion historian Colin McDowell with multi media additions, this will undoubtedly be a most interesting, not to be missed exhibition should you find yourself in London later in the year.
The Design Museum situated on the Thames by Tower Bridge is the venue for this exhibition drawn from the collections of Dior, Comme des Garcons, Chanel, Victor & Rolf, Poiret, Lacroix and Mc Queen. Illustrated by Erte, Lepape, Rene Gruau, Antonio and Mats Gustafson.
From November 17th-6th March, accompanying book to be published by Prestel
