Picture Trivia
Helen Dryden (1887-1981) was an
American artist and industrial designer that ventured in the field of fashion
in the early part of the 20th century. In the beginning, she was rejected by
fashion magazines, including Vogue.
Her works and illustrations were severely criticized. When American publisher
Conde Montrose Nast (1873-1942) took over management of Vogue, and saw Dryden’s illustrations, he immediately ordered the
editors to find her. That was the beginning of Dryden’s career in Vogue as cover and fashion illustrator
that lasted 13 years.
