RedPoppy Loves......In Jackets We Trust

RedPoppy is loving these jackets! When you really think about it, one or two basic styles are never enough for the winter season, and that is why we all need at least five jackets to cover several different degrees of weather and style, which includes the always coveted leather jacket, the popular and toasty shearling, the edgy wool jacket, and one expressive and colorful patterned jacket. Ah winter, I do love you so! xo

Rene Gruau Illustrated

I can't remember how many times I've come across Italian born Rene Gruau's iconic fashion illustrations without giving due pause to recognize the enormity of his influence on fashion and commercial design. Best known for his marketing images for Miss Dior perfume and the House of Dior, Gruau worked for a dazzling list of couturiers and magazines including Balmain, Schiaparelli, Balenciaga,Vogue, and Harper's Bazaar. I loved what he did with ink, and the quality and spirit of the colors he chose. Gruau's graphic love affair with fashion spanned over 50 years and his images aren't going anywhere!
