Illustrator Fabry's (1912-1953) deft brush strokes and conte crayon washes depicted New York society in all it's splendor, along with a humorous edge. With her stylish evening dresses and alabaster skin, often accompanied by men in tuxes, the "Farby Girl" represented all that was New York high society in the '30s & '40s. More than 125 color illustrations are presented in this definitive monograph. Straddling the line between fashion illustration and the nascent pin-up genre, Fabry emerges as an innovator.
