Rene Gruau.

Rene Gruau (1909-2004)


Rene Gruau was born in Italy in 1909. In the 1940‘s and 50‘s Gruau became a favorite of the haute couture world, working with Femina, Marie-Claire, L'Officiel, L'Album Du Figaro and other “high-style” magazines. Some of Gruau’s best work can be seen in the dramatic visual statements he rendered for Christian Dior, Balenciaga, Elsa Schiaparelli, and Hubert de Givenchy. In 1948 Rene Gruau left for the United States to work for Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue, before becoming the exclusive artist for Flair. He also produced stunningly beautiful advertisements for the Lido, Moulin Rouge and Bemberg. Almost right up until his death at the age of 95, Gruau continued to work for the greatest names in Haute Couture: Balmain, Fath, Schiaparelli, Balenciaga, Givenchy, Rochas while also producing fashion drawings for Elle, Vogue, France, Madame Figaro and L'Officiel de la Couture.

Bernard Blossac.

Bernard Blossac (1917-2001)


Bernard de la Bourdonnaie-Blossac was born in Neuilly-sur-Seine and studied at great length in various art academies including “Collard” and “La Grande Chaumière” and in the atelier of Paul Colin before the fashion designer Robert Piguet discovered him. He soon started publishing drawings in Vogue, L’Officiel, L’Art et la Mode, Harper’s Bazaar and International Textiles. His postwar drawings convey a sense of aristocratic elegance. He is a wonderful painter of mundane Parisian life.
