About the artist
Willaumez, along with Carl Erickson and René Bouché, commanded the fashion illustrations of their time. They held a distinguished position in the industry with their unparalleled ability to capture haute couture with undeniable style. Willaumez was slightly younger than Erickson, sparking a competitive, occasionally contentious, relationship that lasted throughout their careers.
Willaumez's work took him from Paris to London, and eventually to New York. In the 1940s, while in New York, his fashionable style was put to good use by the American editor of Vogue. Willaumez remained with Vogue until the early 1950s.
