Fashion Sketchbook

"This eighth edition of 'Fashion Sketchbook' has 100 revised pages to inspire your fashion art and help it transition to a business presentation sketch. This business can be on the job, a design collaboration, or for a private client, for film or theatre design, or game characters, cosplay, or LARP. The possibilities for a career in fashion design are expanding. Fashion design art has always been its own unique genre. It is a contract between your imagination and reality. Imagination involves creativity, presentational style, and innovative silhouettes. Reality is how a sketch, collection, or character can be produced, promoted, and added to the business of fashion. This eighth edition is filled with lessons on how to communicate your ideas and fashion fantasies in a clear, concise, controlled presentation. For business purposes, a presentation is the documentation of your design point of view. This means that your design inspiration, color palette, and fabric selections have clarity and focus; that your design client, represented in your figure work, can be easily read; that proportions and garment construction have been balanced between visually compelling and highly informative. Fashion sustainability is another focus of this edition with more validation that our global fashion future can be circular, making something old new again, without waste, and with a conscious commitment to repurposing glamour and functionality. Sustainability -- going green -- is a promising trend throughout the fashion industry. 'Fashion Sketchbook's comprehensive educational focus, whether sketching by hand, or working in digital illustration platforms, blends fashion art and fashion business for more balanced career building portfolios."--
