I draw.
I write.
I teach.

Born in Hungary, educated in England, I studied art, fashion and drawing at Central Saint Martins and fashion illustration at Parsons School of Design in New York.

During my year at Parsons, my very first professional assignment was nine pages of drawings in Harper’s Bazaar. Returning to London, it was a cover for Vogue.

My move to Hong Kong occasioned a new creative tack, as Fashion Editor and columnist for the South China Morning Post. Also a number of exhibitions.

In the USA, I was Fashion Editor of the Hearst flagship, San Francisco Examiner from 1986 – 1991. And from 1995 - 2016 Executive Director of the School of Fashion at the Academy of Art. In between I worked for fashion publications and designers world-wide.

In 1998, The Fashion Book (Phaidon Press) named me as one of 500 people of influence in fashion since 1860.

In 2006, Mayor Gavin Newsom declared May 24 to be Gladys Perint Palmer Day in San Francisco.

In 2007, I was one of 150 artists invited to participate in the Victoria & Albert Museum’s 150th Anniversary Album, as well as the corresponding exhibition.

In January 2020 I was in New York for the Society of Illustrators’ show, ‘The Visionaries’. My Dior drawing for Kobe Fashion Museum is now in their permanent collection.

Since 2020 I have been working with Connie Gray of Gray M.C.A Gallery. Together we created a series of live on-line masterclasses during Covid. A solo exhibition in London in 2022. Now in 2025 my biography, GPP One of a Kind, in which Connie describes my work, alongside selected artworks from each 'chapter' in my life.

I come from a family of artists, doctors and musicians. I am married with two sons who are also married.
