Description
A comprehensive source book for fashion designers, featuring over 1750 working drawings of garments, accessories and their details. This extensive collection provides visual information to support design work, with each drawing correctly named and fully described in the accompanying glossary. The illustrations include historical, classical, ethnic and inspirational examples, as well as a range of useful fashion poses for women, men and children, from birth to teenage. The poses are accompanied by instructions on how they may be developed and used as templates for illustration. All the illustrations are rights-free, allowing readers to use and adapt them freely. The drawings have been redrawn traditionally and then subjected to contemporary computer graphics techniques, resulting in clear communication of shape and detail. A range of complex patterns, prints and textures are also illustrated, giving an authentic feel to the garments.
