There's something for everyone: beautiful models offer aspiring fashion designers the opportunity to create clothes, bags, shoes, jewellery and hairdos in every imaginable style. The originality of this album, its organising principle, is to enable the reader to participate in the evolution of the various designs proposed. Whether still a student or already working, sporty or sophisticated, dynamic or easy-going, classic or free-spirited, cultivating an air of mystery or a more natural look, the budding stylist has now an opportunity to develop a particular style. All the drawings are displayed in black outlines to suggest a starting point where creation may begin and evolve as the colouring process comes into play. It is now up to the young fashion designer to mould and name the styles, breathing life into them. In doing so, this becomes an exercise in self-awareness that confirms one's personal style.

Gladys Parker: a Life in Comics, a Passion for Fashion


Book Description

Hermes Press is coming to slay the fashion industry- with some HERstory! Gladys Parker: A Life in Comics, A Passion for Fashion explores the history behind Mopsy and her creator Gladys Parker! This beautiful book will also provide a rarely seen collection of Mopsy stories and many of Parker's earlier strips. Cartoonist Gladys Parker was unique in comics. As with Frida Kahlo, it was impossible to tell where her art left off and its creator began. Parker mixed fashion and comics and created classic characters that mimicked her sense of fashion. In fact, Parker was an exact double for her ink-and-paper creation, Mopsy. Tarpe Mills and Dale Messick both dressed to kill and included paper dolls featuring their heroines' chic 1940s wardrobes. Tarpe Mills and Lily Renee were fashion models before they drew comics. But only Gladys Parker (and one other)* was a fashion designer with a successful line of clothing while at the same time drawing an equally successful comic strip. Parker's dresses bearing the Gladys Parker label were sold at her own New York shop and at high-end department stores across the country - and she also found the time to costume Hollywood movies and the beauties that starred in them! Who better to chronicle the story of Gladys Parker than comics herstorian Trina Robbins, who in the 1960s designed clothes for hippies and rock stars out of her East Village boutique, while drawing underground comix?
