I caught these fabulous Rene Bouche fashion illustrations on display in Vanity Fair’s August 2010 issue and they stopped me in my tracks.

Rene Bouche, of course, is the famous illustrator who began working for Vogue in 1938 and went on to do illustrations for Saks Fifth Avenue and Elizabeth Arden.

What a fine collection of sketches! And they look wonderful displayed against the boldly printed Boussac Tarentelle wallpaper.

Just a little decorating inspiration for all of you vintage fashionistas!
