Review

'This is an ideal support for any designer wishing to develop their drawing and illustration skills. Emphasising many of the classic techniques associated with fashion design, such as drape, shine or fabric surface, this book balances technical know how with creativity. Fashion Drawing could become an essential tool to many; the ability to communicate as a designer, through working with fabric and the honourable craft of drawing, is vital to sustain a successful career.'

Tony Glenville, Course Leader for Fashion Illustration, London College of Fashion
