Fernando Flores, 66; his fashion illustrations wore a Latin look

“Fernando Flores, 66, whose fashion illustrations with their distinct Latin flavor appeared in The Times, Womens Wear Daily, the Apparel News and several leading fashion magazines, died June 26, according to Elizabeth Robinson-Williams, a friend. The causes were cancer and complications from idiopathic polymyositis, a degenerative muscle disease, Robinson-Williams said.

Flores began his illustrating career in the 1960s in the advertising department of the now-defunct May Co. department store in Los Angeles. He became a freelance illustrator known for his strong, vigorous style. “
