Blast from the past- Antonio's Girls



When I was taking pictures of the office bookcases(posted 1/2011) for this blog,

I found a book that was signed and given to me by the incredibly talented fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez. The book is called Antonio's Girls(1982).  

as I had not looked at it for some time,I started to flip through the pages + was amazed with the body of work he produced.

A sketch by Antonio- a woman turns into a shoe/ well, I don't know about you!! but I love shoes so it does not get any better than this!!!!

I adore this one-look at the detail. there are about 128 pages in this fab. book + each page is more divine then the next- more to come on another post...I promise!!!!!
Isn't he an amazing Talent?????

  5. Peggy,

    Jane and I have remained in touch since working with Antonio. That is me on the cover and inside and in one of the shoe sketches. A wonderful time and we were lucky to have worked with him.
