Antonio Lopez Drawings for Vogue

Click to enlarge images

I came across these spread layout drawings by Antonio Lopez in a 1970 edition of Vogue Pattern Book International and was immediately intrigued by them. They reminded me of the work of Peter Max. The byline only said "Drawings by Antonio; Photos by Otto Storch." So off I went to find out more. He was a very famous artist and had many muses including Jerry Hall, Grace Jones and Jessica Lange to name a few.





And a bit more on the fashion drawings with interview snippets from the likes of Lagerfeld. De La Renta, Missoni etc.
