About the artist

Marcel Fromenti

Marcel Fromenti (1886-1969) was the main artist for The Lady's fashion articles. He illustrated fashion developments of their day in simple, accessible terms that contributed greatly to The Lady's popularity with its readers. The glamorous women in his drawings modelled both couture and high-end ready-to-wear garments with equal panache and elegance. The Lady is a weekly magazine for women published since 1885.
