More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
A revealing, comprehensive and colourful insight into the design process, Fashion Designers Sketchbooks explores many major names working in the fashion industry today. Photographs, sketches, mood boards, line-ups, toiles, fabric swatches and more all contribute to the creation of ideas for fashion designs, and here they are brought together for the first time to show how the final work is conceived and developed. Garments on the catwalk are juxtaposed with lookbooks, the original research material, and with finished illustrations giving a new perspective on the working methods of leading international designers. This approach makes the book a fascinating resource for both students and designers. Numerous leading designers, including John Galliano for Dior, Luella and Christian Lacroix, are interviewed alongside their sketchbooks, discussing the roles they play in evolution of their work, and how they inform and encourage their creative processes. The result is in an inspirational overview of cutting-edge design today.

This is a great book to buy, it gives you an insight into designers and how they work in the interviews. It's also great to see the designers final designs against the original sketches.

Great book for understanding fashion research
3 July 2011
Format:Hardcover
This is a really good book for students and designers alike, because it is vividly explained and illustrated. The research process, which should go beyond a moodboard, is clearly laid out in this book and the reader can get a fantastic view into the designers' mind. It can give students a great visual and on what to include in your sketchbook and how to make your research more concise, precise and relevant to your collection.

My daughter and I were in a "vintage" store where she fell in love with this book but it was priced at $40, the retail and I convinced her to wait. Saw it at a great price at Amazon and instantly bought it for her. She's getting it for Christmas and I know she'll love it!!

So-so

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
It was fun to look through this book once, but a lot of designers were too avant-garde for my taste. In addition, I was hoping for more famous names. Even so, it is a good resource to flip through for a creativity infusion.
