For me, fashion design was always about sketching and drawing to let your ideas out before deciding to create a model. Seeing this book, I thought it was perfect way to learn more about the profession and what is behind the stage.
Let me tell you that I was really impressed by the diversity of the art, the quality of the artists and the way the book was made.
I've liked how you are introduced to the creators with a bio, their advices and motivational quotes to beginners, who will be interested in a carreer in the fasion industry.
Of course, they all have their specificities and I was draw to some of them more than others. But I've really enjoyed reading about their works and how they see it.
You can also see the designers using differents medium: watercolor, sketch, collage, digital, even some street art style. Work with colors or black and white. There is not really a difference with another artists. It's just their attention that is focusing on clothes, materials instead of canevas, packaging or a book cover.
It was a very enjoyable read. Interested and full of great illustrations.
