    I so want to see this exhibit. I have some Chanel and Halston illustrations hanging in my house done by Antonio Lopez, he is amazing! I also love the J'adore Coco by Steven Broadway. Illustrations are so inspiring.

    Great artwork and all handskills too - check out Lynette Ross (mother of DC comics - Alex Ross) she did Fashion Illustration in the 50s. Her work is stunning..
