This page: Tony Viramontes’ 1984 illustration for La Mode en Peinture of a Christian Dior Haute Couture look by Marc Bohan. Opposite page: A 1984 drawing for Italian Vogue of a Valentino dress. Viramontes produced some of Valentino’s most evocative and beautifully observed advertising—his articulate and inimitable line gave the maestro’s frilly, frothy gowns a bold and contemporary new twist.
