Fun

A very fun book, but not very concise and rather outdated

Excellent

Takes the beginner the next step. Gives good information on and basics on being a fashion designer. It is the book you keep in your library and go back to as a reference.

Teaches you to present better in a different way!

I love this book! I have just ordered it and was hoping to strengthen my figure presentation drawings. But what I got was what I wanted in a different way. This book tells you were to get inspirtation from. So I was like, ok, how about drawing. Some people may say it's misleading saying there is no drawing techniquies found in the book, but really if you think about it, there is. It tells you to look at buildings, musuems and more and use what you see to put into your designs. So the techniquies are the shapes and colors and when you put them together, it looks great! You do not have to be the best artist in the world, just using the patterns and everything will make your presentation even better. I would definitly recommend this book to anyone who wants to be a fashion desginer but doesn't think they can think up of that many designs. Or think they can't draw. Basically anyone can become one who has patience and is creative!

a real course in fashion design

Unlike other fashion design books, the authors do not teach figure drawing and clothing. They start out with a visit to a museum where you need to gather information, then find a theme and make four sketches. The individual lessons build upon each other so that the beginner can easily follow. The authors require you to be active, go out and find your sources of information and inspiration. You learn to do what fashion designers do: look at architecture and find ideas for a new fashion line, look at flowers and find a color scheme, etc.The book has 24 lessons that lead the student of fashion design from the first sketch to the fashion show. It's a good book if you are looking for a guided course that helps you to improve and evaluate your designs.
