When artist Robert Alviola Alejandro looks at a simple leaf he sees an entire fashion scene: Women dance in 1920s flapper dresses, couples in chic overcoats walk arm in arm, bearded men head out in bowler hats, and elegantly turned out gals take their pooches for a walk. There are cowgirls and mods, ladies in waiting and ladies who lunch, urban fashionistas and fans of the avant-garde. The leaf, of course, becomes a seamless part of each garment. Fashion designers have long been inspired by the natural world so it comes as no surprise that the greenery that surrounds Alejandro in his native Phillippine Islands have led to such creative sartorial illustrations. AUTHOR: Artist Robert Alviola Alejandro has lived most of his life in the Philippine Islands, one of the most diverse places for plants on earth. Passionate about art and design, Alejandro has designed numerous award-winning books, magazines, retail shops, theme parks, and graphics for public spaces. As part of the family behind the gift shop Papemelroti, he has also designed products, memo pads, and calendars. Botanic Chic: The Fashion Illustrations of Robert Alejandro is his first book to be published outside of the Phillippines. SELLING POINTS: ?This beautifully designed book showcases the unique fashion illustrations of Robert Alejandro, an artist based in Manila who begins each drawing with a single leaf ?Original, humorous fashion illustrations ?Great gift book for anyone interested in fashion, design, art, illustration or nature ?Part of the revival of the unique art of fashion illustration 78 colour illustrations
