WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO CRAWFORD'S SHOLDER PADS?



I SAW A PICTURE OF THIS BILL BLASS SUIT IN A BOOK ABOUT 80'S FASHION AND I INSTANTLY WANTED TO DRAW IT. BILL BLASS CLOTHES ARE SOOOOOO 80'S AMERICAN TO ME. ONLY A HARD-NOSED-NEW-YORK-POWER-BITCH COULD EVER WEAR A SUIT LIKE THAT. SHE REMINDED ME OF A CHARACTER JOAN CRAWFORD WOULD HAVE PLAYED, WHERE, EVEN THOUGH SHE'S REALLY RUTHLESS AND CONNIVING, WE STILL ROOT FOR HER FOR SOME REASON. PROBABLY BECAUSE SHE WAS WEARING AMAZING ADRIAN SUITS (WHICH THIS SUIT WAS OBVIOUSLY INSPIRED BY) SO WE DIDN'T REALLY CARE WHAT SHE DID, AS LONG AS SHE LOOKED GOOD!
