Passantino, Robert
Biography
Robert Passantino worked as a fashion illustrator for WWD starting around 1970. His illustrations were inspired by the thin, youthful models of the late 1960s. He enjoyed sketching footwear the best. The dancewear company Capezio offered Passantino a design position but the illustrator declined and continued to sketch.
