Summary: Important principles of fashion illustration
Review: The book mentions the main and the important principles of fashion illustration, how to use colors and more.

Rating:
Summary: Possibly the most mis-leading title ever
Review: This book is awful, especially given it's title. Drawing is not discussed in the book in any meaningful way. the cover is dreadfully misrepresentative of what is inside. The drawing styles presented are horribly dated from a horrible fashion Illustration era. These 80's - 90's looks are awful to look at and disproportioned.

Very little if anything can be learned from this book.

Summary: a real course in fashion design
Review: 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.
