Gene Marshall and her Glamorous Friends Paper Dolls
Jim Howard defined the art of fashion illustration during the '70s, '80s and '90s. His highly admired work graced the advertising campaigns of America's top department stores, cosmetic companies and advertising agencies. Instantly recognizable, Jim's style was realistic and yet totally expressionistic, too. Deep, dramatic shadows, meticulous rendering of fabrics, plus an amazing blend of freestyle sketching and careful attention to details made every one of his illustrations into a memorable piece of art.Jim's list of freelance clients reads like a Who's Who of fashion retailers: Bonwit Teller, B. Altman, Marshall Field's, Garfinkel's, I. Magnin, Neiman Marcus, Dillards, Bon Marche and others. Now his work can be enjoyed by paper doll collectors with his ever growing offering of books including Bette Davis, Ida Lupino, Gene Fashion Doll, Four Famous Dandies, Dorothy Lamour, Shirley Jones and Jim Howard's Fashion Illustration Paper Dolls. His newest series, COUTURE, celebrates high fashion one decade at a time.
