In an effort to find a storybook from my childhood without remembering the name or much of the cover, I've discovered a lot of cool art when searching for childrens' illustrated books in the 1980's.

In the time of I Wonder What's Under and a bit before Where the Wild Things Are, there was a book that looked to be in a 70's-80's illustration style, flat coloring (gouache or watercolor), a woman with orange wavy hair, food items (like ice cream), a very wavy style with wavy shapes... and I don't recall much else beyond that. Something about ice cream or flavors or something...? I yearn to remember!

Military Style Coats

Military-style women's coats...


More than the styles below, I like the contrast between the models, especially the flow of the one on the right.

 The picture below... Love it. The model's angles, the face, the jacket, the peek-a-boo belt, the tutu skirt... It's just missing some fingerless gloves and maybe some black hair extensions to maybe merge Madonna with Avril.

 Love the style of that cowl neck.
The jacket below I can imagine being scratchy and uncomfortable, but I just think the model's hair is adorable.
