No.. actually Spike.. thats not Galliano's sketch!! It's actually by David Downtown who was sitting in the audience for that show.

Yeh Nixon.. same!! But I suppose these peeps dont have yr 12 on their hands and can sketch all the time and also illustrate.. thats what they do all day .. well im guessing.. and they prob perfect it

Oh! I just noticed this topic... I'm going to start posting some Erte.
His work is so incredible!

That is sooooo trippy.. looks like something out of Star Wars.. like a costume rather than a ready-to-wear... hmmmm.. i also loved that gianfranco ferre pic... its like its half finished but doesnt need to show the rest!! Interesting!! Keep posting pics!!

I love designer sketches, I think they are truly an art form by themselves, not just a leftover to the clothing they inspire.
I adore Erte as well, talk about fabulous images

Although Erte did begin his career in fashion design, he is best known for his work for theatre and film. So yes, you're right.
