Antonio Lopez (Puerto Rican, 1943–1987) was a fashion illustrator and behind-the-scenes darling of the 1960s and 1970s New York fashion world, collaborating with the likes of Halston, Andy Warhol, Karl Lagerfeld, Fiorucci, and more. With his partner Juan Ramos, “their vivid use of color, inventive collages, unconventional models, and striking compositions paved the way for a radical new visual vocabulary that transformed mainstream media.”

The book features words from Grace Jones, Jerry Hall, Tina Chow, Jessica Lange, and Pat Cleveland, with an introduction by Christopher Hemphill.
