'If youโve always secretly yearned to design and draw fashion as well as sell it, hereโs your chance to get started' Womenswear Buyer Long before they were let loose on the fashion world, designers like Alexander McQueen and Tom Ford began by mastering the art of refining ideas on the page. The Fashion Design Drawing Course will steer you safely through the perilous catwalk of fashion illustration, so that catching the essence of a design, the swirl of a fabric, and the intensity of colour will become suddenly, brilliantly possible. Organized into twenty-four instructional units to reflect the courses of top design colleges, this book covers every aspect of fashion illustration, from finding the inspiration for fabulous designs to the techniques that will allow you to put your ideas across with irresistible effect. Review: Well worth it - I brought this book for my brother who is at college studying fashion. Many of his class mates had a head start on him in terms of their creative and artistic backgrounds and, being relatively new to the subject, he struggled with how he could best communicate his ideas. This book has helped build his confidence and has opened his eyes to the many ways in which to express his ideas and creativity which has seen him excel in his studies. I think this book provides a great foundation for fashion students, especially those who are new to the subject, whilst providing a platform for further study and exploration. Review: You must have - Good for beginners

This book is not what it says it is!!!
I was lucky I purchased this book for a realy cheap price!If you are a home seamster that has not drawn a basic proportional fashion figure then - Don't buy this, dont bother. This is not what it says it is. If you are seeking to learn to draw fashion,take a university course, this book will not help you until you know how to draw a fashion figure!!!! The book is very pretty,but techniques, principles, no! Mostly it is for those that can draw a fashion figure already. Once you can do that, this book will help give you ideas on how to modify your basic model. Again I must warn you that there is no Basic model here! There should have been.This book is not for the home seamster who wants to depict the ideas in their head onto paper and has never drawn before! It is geared toward people who are much more experienced with drawing and designing. This book gets only one star for wrong title.This is too expensive a book for this kind misleading title - Perhaps it should have been, "Advanced Designing Ideas for Aspiring Fashion Artists".

really disappointed
This book lacked a lot of instruction. I think it would be better for someone who already knows how to draw.

Deludente
Libro un po' datato sia nei contenuti che nella tipologia di informazioni fornite. Il titolo "Fashion Design Drawing Course" e' fuorviante in quanto non si tratta propriamente di un manuale con istruzioni passo passo. E' per lo piรน' un libro con informazioni sommarie e fotografie, che da' qualche idea ma non e' adatto a chi vuole imparare o perfezionare le proprie capacita' di illustrare i figurini di moda. La prima parte e' dedicata a trovare l'ispirazione per le proprie creazioni, dalle mood boards alle visite ai musei. La seconda parte e' dedicata all'illustrazione ma le info sono veramente insufficienti e troppo sommarie. La terza parte e' dedicata alla pianificazione e design e l'ultima parte alla comunicazione delle propria visione. L'ho acquistato di seconda mano presso un charity shop, quindi i soldi spesi sono andati a buon fine. Tuttavia non considero questo libro particolarmente interessante o informativo. Se volete imparare a disegnare ed illustrare figurini di moda o se volete perfezionare la vostra tecnica comprate Nine Heads di Nancy Riegelman Colors for Fashion: Drawing Fashion With Colored Markers - un altro pianeta e la guida migliore sul mercato.
