Behind-the-Scenes: August 2012 Archives

To honor the members of this year's Best-Dressed Hall of Fame, Chris Dixon and the team at Vanity Fair commissioned fashion illustrator David Downton to sketch 5 of their stylish ladies.

Downton traveled to Paris, New York, and London to paint his portraits from real-life sittings, a unique way of doing illustration in this day and age. 

Take a look behind the scenes HERE as Downton sketches Sofia Coppola, Carolina Herrera, Daphne Guiness, Iman, and Countess Jacqueline De Ribes for Vanity Fair's September issue.
