This pinup art gallery is the vintage fashion history selection. Here you will find my little odes to retro glamour from the 1930s, the 1940s and the 1950s.

All of the outfits shown are drawn on the same 'model' to better see the evolution of the styles. And I will be adding more to this gallery over time so to keep updated please subscribe to the RSS feed.

vintage fashion 1950s pin up artThis 1950s fashion pinup art is inspired by the Christan Dior 'New Look', and is based on a dress that I actually own. All the focus is on the narrow waist as fashion returned to feminine and fun.
