It is the interesting approach taken by Juan Baeza, which stems from his background and experience in teaching the drawing of the human figure, that makes this book an extremely useful tool for designers.

Beyond fashion trends, society nowadays is more individualistic, and contemporary creativity is based on the freedom of recombining. In this context, what stands out is the importance of independent design, which is characterized by offering solutions based on a personal style and inspiration, without following the trends that are imposed from the fashion production centres. Each discipline serves the particular needs of its subject of study. In clothing and textiles, proximity to the body demands a special way of working. Clothes are designed to be displayed using the body and, therefore, must respect the body's topology and the movements and twists it makes. The value of a designer is mainly measured by the sum of his or her ability to understand the idea behind the object and his or her ability to design—that is, his or her ability to translate that idea into reality.

From the foreword by Susana Saulquin, former Course Director of the Fashion and Textile Design Department, Faculty of Design and Architecture, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
