The 'Vogue' Coloring Book Is A Fashion Timehop

If you're wondering what to gift the fashionista in your life or perhaps looking for something that will surely top your holiday wish list, then the Vogue coloring book is right up your stylish alley. Fabulous cocktail dresses and ballgowns from the Vogue archives come to life on the pages of the magazine's first coloring book, which was written and illustrated by Iain R. Webb. It's been said that coloring books are therapeutic, so it makes perfect sense to combine that with the health benefits of shopping for a fulfilling and relaxing experience.

The Vogue coloring book features hand-drawn illustrations inspired by fashions from the 1950s. Iconic designs from Christian Dior, Chanel, and Balenciaga await a colorful makeover from aspiring designers and artists of all skill levels. Webb, an award-winning fashion writer and professor at the Royal College of Art, even wrote, "Now is your chance to be the designer," in the book's introduction.

The Vogue coloring book will be released in the U.K. this November and will be available in the U.S. next year. In the meantime, there are several other fashion-inspired coloring books available to fulfill anyone's dreams of becoming a high fashion designer without the stress that comes with such a high-profile gig.
