Is this modern fashion's most influential illustrator?

Howard Tangye’s decisive line and rich layers of chalk, watercolor and pastel form the foundation upon which contemporary fashion illustration rests, yet he insists he is not a fashion illustrator. His former students, which have included designers John Galliano, Stella McCartney, Hussein Chalayan, Zac Posen, Christopher Kane, speak reverently of his influence on them. His portraits have been shown at Harvard University and London’s National Portrait Gallery and fifty-six of his works form part of the Victoria and Albert Museum’s permanent collection. An anachronistic figure, he found himself at the heart of youth and creativity, teaching fashion at London’t Central Saint Martin’s for 35 years, before committing himself entirely to his art practice in 2014.
