Synopsis

'If you’ve always secretly yearned to design and draw fashion as well as sell it, here’s 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.
