Answer:
b. relied on artistic drawings to persuade the buyer
Explanation:
Fashion in history has been advertised through magazines and catalogs. <u>Before photography was common and inexpensive, the pieces of clothes would be drawn, explained, and listed.</u> Marketing had played an important role in determining what will be fashionable and in pushing the trends, so they had to display the models somehow.
<u>The drawings and paintings had to be realistic and well done, with many details</u>. Some advertisements had even the details enlarged to show them to the potential buyers. Even the cover of the first Vogue magazine, a famous fashion publication, featured the drawn model.
