Product Description

This title presents the work of some of the top international illustrators from 26 countries and organizes it into three styles. Some are sensualists who work in ink or acrylic, using brushstrokes, layered colour,and textured papers and paints. Others focus on characters: gamine girls with eyes a la Twiggy; or sophisticated elegant figures who carry on the tradition of the 50s diva. Also included in the book is the work of "technocrats" - designers who work on the computer - as well as work from artists' private collections, and international fashion magazines. This work is designed to be a reference guide for media and fashion industry professionals and a textbook for students.

Customer Reviews

FANTASTIC!!
This book is a fantastic review of modern fashion illustration. As an ex-designer/trainee teacher, this book is a wonderful example of fashion illustration in it's best form. A great example to show would-be fashion designers how a design board should be illustrated. Definitely a must!

A MUST FOR FASHION STUDENTS
If you are looking for contemporary fresh ideas and inspiration, then look no further, as this book gives you ideas for fashion drawing which vary from painterly to highly graphical. The book includes the most up-to-date fashion illustrators from around the world, whose work you might recognise from CD covers and magazines. I am most grateful to my friend who recommended it to me. Look out for others in the series.

Great inspiration
Fantastic display of work, some very diverse styles. The division into three categories is a bit weak, and doesn't really shed any extra light on the illustrations, but this is the best resource on the recent resurgence in illustration I have found.
