Fashion Illustration

 I've been looking through my collection of fashion illustration books recently for a an upcoming class, and i was reminded of this wonderful illustration by Francois Berthoud of this Viktor & Rolf Couture collection - Russian Doll from A/W 1999. 

Such fabulous creativity of both drawing and collection.
