Ruben Toledo

You know I love Nina Garcia and both of her books “ The little black book of style “ and “ The one hundred” , she is certainly an excellent writer but what makes her books a most-have are the beautiful and elegant illustrations by Ruben Toledo.

Ruben Toledo is my favorite fashion illustrator; he is married to Isabel Toledo an amazing fashion designer. They live in a lovely and exquisitely decorated loft in midtown Manhattan.

I’m amazed by Toledo’s art and drawings but the funny fact that left me speechless is that this creative couple met at the age of 13!
Isn’t that incredible!? Ruben says it was love at first sigh, now he and Isabel are 45 years old and the passion flame is still burning between them, I consider that a huge accomplishment and I’m entirely happy and exited for them.

But let’s stop gossiping about their love life, the aim of this post is to share with all my readers some of the wonderful fashion illustrations made by Ruben.
