Laurence Fellows
defined a very specific, very masculine world. Unlike today’s fashion
magazines, Apparel Arts didn’t dictate fashion trends by using underfed models
in unwearable suits. It showed what was already being worn by the well-heeled,
trend-setting folk. Fellows’ genius as an illustrator lay in his ability to
depict them in their everyday activities. Whether they were traveling the
world, hosting dinner parties, hunting grouse, or just lounging around the
penthouse or club, Fellows somehow made their rarified universe accessible.
Ordinary folks could look at the illustrations and say, “I could wear that.”
