Published November 1, 1927William Bolin's fashion illustrations, which frequently appeared on vintage Vogue covers, often placed the figure of a woman against a striped background to best highlight her apparel. Here, a flapper wears a classic dropped-waist gown with a double strand of pearls and stacks of bangles, while a single oversize red feather catches the eye. The drawing graced the November 1, 1927, Vogue cover, the New York Winter Fashions issue of the magazine.
