This comprehensive source book sets out over 1750
working drawings of garments, accessories and their
details, which can be used for reference while
designing. Each drawing, which may be a historical,
classical, ethnic or inspirational example, is correctly
named and fully described in the extensive glossary,
thus providing the visual information that is lacking
from fashion dictionaries. In addition, a range of
useful fashion poses is provided for women, men and
children (from birth to teenage) with instructions on
how these may be developed by readers and used as
templates for their own illustrations. All the
illustrations are copyright-free, enabling readers to
use and adapt as they wish. All the illustrations have
been redrawn traditionally then subjected to
contemporary computer graphics techniques with a view to
clearly communicating shape and detail. As much 'fabric
representation' as possible has been illustrated, on
relevant garments, to give an authentic feel and a
variety of complex patterns, prints and textures
employed using computer graphics tools. |
