Antonio
Lopes and Caroline Smith are the illustrators would be introduced today. The
reason of putting them together is that their illustrations are very vivid and
colorful. Especially the childlike drawings of Caroline Smith are full of interesting,
using cute figures and bright colors, such as the collection for The Queen magazine in 1965 and the collection
for Destiny in 1970. She also drew advertisement for high fashion brand like
C&A.
Antonio
Lopes was the ultimate fashion illustrator to many people in the 1960s, because
he changed the ideal of beauty at that time, “neither exclusively white nor
Western”, and used the girls who counted and mattered (Downton, 2010). This American
boy showed his talent at the age of two. His mother was a dressmaker, so
Antonio drew illustrations of his mother at that age.
Antonio
worked for Fashion Institute of
Technology in the USA
in the 1960s and met Juan Ramos. They worked together and Paul Caranicas said
that they made a unique creative process in their teamwork. When he was 19, he
left FIT for the Women’s Wear Daily, and then he left WWD and moved to the New York
Time in 1963. In the following years, Antonio drew for other magazines like Harper’s Bazaar, VOGUE, Elle, and Vanity. The best part of his
illustration is that he didn’t follow the old style in the past but channeled
the mood of the times, such as pop culture, and created his own style in the
fashion illustration.
Next is the timeline of these two illustrators.
