L. Fellows – Fashion Illustrator
Laurence Fellows was born in Ardmore, Pennsylvania in 1885 and formally trained at the Pennsylvania Academy of Art. Subsequently, he developed his technique in England and specifically in France.
Upon his return to the US in 1910, Fellows became known for his Vogue-influenced drawing style that focused on shapes as a whole rather than on details.
In the 1930’s, L. Fellows realigned his focus away from this simplistic ad style to more detailed fashion illustrations. As such, he worked for magazine such as Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Vanity Fair, The American Magazine, and most importantly with Apparel Arts and Esquire magazine, which debuted in 1931 and 1933, respectively. Due to limited supply of male fashion artists, you could find at least one full page illustration by Laurence Fellows Fellows in almost every issue. Today, Fellows is most well known for the drawings from this decade, although he continued to work for Apparel Arts through the 1940’s.
