Style Dictionary

With irreverent wit, a sharp eye, and a brilliant palette of colors, Ruben Toledo both celebrates and skewers fashion trends. His playful illustrated alphabet will tickle not only beauty-business insiders but anyone who marvels at the variety of personal statements visible on the sidewalks. With pen and brush, Toledo captures the range of possible looks, whether attractive or absurd, from the everyday sight of teenagers’ thrift-shop chic to the purely surreal – for example, his rendering of evening gowns built of brick, stone, or wood.
