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.

 | This vintage fashion art shows the front view of a yellow satin 1930s evening dress. It is in the style of French fashion designer Madeline Vionnet, so is bias cut, or 'cross cut' which was her speciality. |  | The back view of the 1930s fashion evening dress in the style of Madeline Vionnet. It shows the low back line which was very popular at the time, and the way the bias, or 'cross' cut method maked the fabric cling to curves in all the right places.. |  | This vintage fashion pinup art shows a 1940s style dress with simple lines and minimal fabric used. The details at the neckline would have been done by the wearer, as such customization was the only way to get a new look during the war. |  | In this back view of the 1940s vintage fashion art, you can see the back seams of her seamed stockings, which although are an icon of the age they were very hard to get at the time and the look was often faked. |  | This 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. |  | Back view of 1950s fashion pinup art. The fullness of the Dior skirts was shocking because at the time of its release fabric was still under rationing in most of Europe. The required sometimes 2 or 3 petticoats to give just the right "lift". |
