So, A/W 12 might not actually be ready to wear quite yet, but seeing how fashion illustrator Tanya Ling has already interpreted some of what was on offer at the shows in February is keeping us happy.

Ling, the talented illustrator mum of Twin favourite Bip, has been adding her langurous, painterly style to hot looks for years. Most recently her work can be seen as part of Selfridge’s newly opened Women’s Designer Galleries. We’re not sure what we want most, the clothes themselves, or Ling’s take on modern luxury.

Where can you see Margot Bowman, Andy Warhol, Sarah Mower, Cecil Beaton and Gary Card jostling alongside illustrators such as David Downton, René Gruau and François Berthoud? The answer is Rupert Sanderson’s Upstairs studio.

On Saturday 17th December the studio has invited the Fashion Illustration Galleryto put on a one-day-only Christmas art fair. Prints, original illustrations, books, magazines, t-shirts and badges by some of illustration’s greats are sure to make as much a stunning makeshift exhibition as spectacular Christmas presents for loved ones with a discerning eye.

Fashion Illustration Gallery is at Rupert Sanderson, 19 Bruton Place, London W1J 6LZ on 17th December, 10am-5.30pm
