Customer Reviews

amazing
I was recentley given this book as a present and it is fantastic. The illustrations are beautiful and all the more special as they were drawn by real fashion designers and many of them have never been seen before. It really feels as though you have been allowed a brief glimpse at something very personal, special and the illustrations are truly amazing. Highly recommended.

Wicked!!
As a fashion student this was such a great book to have. It really helped with my course!

Beautiful book
Really beautiful fashion illustrations both to look at and to gain inspiration if developing personal style.
Not technical drawings. It's not going to show you how to draw the anatomy of the figure perfectly or give you design ideas, but inspire drawing technique/use of line.
