I have a name for you: Antonio Lopez.
Everything I wanted to be, everything I loved about the early 1980's, everything that inspired me and shaped the designer and illustrator I would grow into is found in his work. My walls were plastered with his illustrations for Yves St Laurent and Missonni. Anything else I could get my hands on went up on the wall as well. I can't describe it anymore except to say that I was watching an interview with Jerry Hall and she said his name and this long dormant part of my psyche opened it's eyes and said "remember". He painted the world as I wanted it to be................
These are some of the ads he did for Missonni. They still take my breath away 26 years later.
Just a note to say that I don't hold the copyright for these images and I grabbed them off a fan page. Please don't use them for commercial reasons; I promise to do the same.
