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 A highly amusing book, Fashion People will be appreciated as a historical document by all those who are in the know!
