Welcome to this edition of Design of the times, where I delve into my archives (bookshelf) and do extensive research ( a couple hours online with a good snack to fuel me) to bring you a look at a decade in fashion history. Recently I stumbled across a treasure trove of vintage fashion illustrations that were too good not to share. With out further ado (blah, blah, blah from me) I bring you a dash of illustrations from the
Fashion Institute of Technology Department of Special Collections and Archives. There are even more illustrations available on FIT's Flickr photostream.

Gorgeous, no? I am in love with the spectacular detail of the illustrations, from the clothing to the faces. They are head to toe beautiful and meticulously done. If you are a lover of vintage fashion or fashion illustration, you must check out all the
amazing sets FIT's Departments of Special Collections and Archive has on Flickr. If you are a member of Flickr, sign up for photostream updates from this group to see when new pictures are added to the online collection. Enjoy!
Love the classic chic look!
