BOOK: GPP - One of a Kind

GLADYS PERINT PALMER ONE OF A KIND

The new illustrated biography of the world’s most infamous female fashion illustrator.

An icon of fashion illustration, Gladys Perint Palmer has spent over six decades capturing the style, spirit, and satire of the industry’s most defining moments. 

GPP: One of a Kind is a dazzling retrospective of her life’s work — from couture runways to candid portraits — revealing a singular vision shaped by wit, precision and irrepressible flair. With original artworks, personal notes and unseen archives, this book celebrates a fearless creative force whose legacy has helped define fashion as an art form.

“When she sketches some of my clothes, or other designers’ clothes, but especially mine, I say, now I have to produce the clothes in the way that she did it. She interprets with her own personality.”

Jean Paul Gaultier

“…what makes a difference between Gladys’ work and most of the others is that she does not draw a still subject, but her drawings have life because they capture a moment, a situation…”

Valentino Garavani
