Customer Reviews

A great read and source of inspiration
If you're considering a career or further study in either fashion design or illustration, then you should definitely get this book. It is well laid out, easy to dip in and out of when you need it, and gives you a Thorough grounding in all aspects of fashion illustration. Dont expect this book to be about the entire fashion design process, cos its not, but about how to portray and communicate youre designs and ideas in an innovative way on paper. It also includes a few simple projects to do yourself, interviews with successful illustrators about how they got into the business and a really handy bibliography at the back for further reading. All in all a great book!
