FASHION RETURNS TO THE DRAWING BOARD

LONDON — In a decade defined by the rise of digital platforms, there are growing signs that fashion is going back to the drawing board.

After years out of favor with editors and brands alike thanks to real-time and affordable runway photography, fashion illustration is having a resurgence. Chanel, Dior, Gucci and Prada are just a handful of the brands that now regularly commission sketches of their latest catwalk creations, while names like Donald Robertson, David Downton, Meagan Morrison and Rei Nadal are just some of the artists commanding thousands of Instagram followers.
