From 1925 to his death in 1958, he collaborated with British and French Vogue. He also drew advertisings for brands like Coty and Elizabeth Arden. Vogue’s 1958 obituary said it best: “To the Paris couture an Eric drawing was the most desired of representations for their designs; to the young, beginning fashion artists, Eric was a minor god, the creator of a fostering climate for fashion art.”) less
