This book is very handy to all the fashion students and amateur fashionistas. It is introducing all the well known and not so well known illustrators with their own words. I have used this book a lot for fresh ideas and also in school. I strongly recommend..:-)

I think the person who wrote that last review is probably an old school artist, whose about getting the exact proportion ect.....I think this book illustrates how pple think outside the box of what fashion illustration could be. If your tired on seeing boring generic fashion images and want to get inspired get this book!

We just got this book into our library. I think it's good for graphic students, I enjoyed looking through it, then again I am not a fashion illustrator. They are awesome drawings, but very abstract. They convey the theme of the designer or seasons overall look. I think it is useful for students to get an idea that fashion illustration is NOT just basic sketching!

Very disapointing

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've studied and drawn fashion illustrations for more than 20 years. I'm familier with the history, the artists, and the techniques of this genre.
Most fashion illustrations serve the purpose of either selling clothes or giving directions to people actually making the garments. Short of that, they've been used to present a fashionable illusion for p.r.
I'm not sure what purpose of the often very abstract illustrations in this book are supposed to serve. They aren't glamorous. They aren't drawn well enough to sell or direct in the creation of garments. Perhaps they were intended as decorative illustrations at either point-of-purchase locations or on websites.
Either way, I found the enclosed illustrations lacking in imagination, verve, and technical skill. This is the first book I've ever returned to Amazon.
