Dior Femina

The world of René Gruau, master of line, where a single, sweeping stroke suggests elegance, grace and sophistication.  His fashion illustrations reflect his love of women and his passion for sketching the female form. Revolutionising the portrayal of haute couture in the 20th's century, he displayed a true understanding that style is not about excess but about the courage to simplify, exaggerating just enough to let the character shine.  Better known in grey, with a pink background, this 'Femina' illustration for Dior uses only black and yellow on off white
