Whether you are starting out in Fashion Design, or you are a teacher in the Fashion arena, or you have a general interest in fashion, this book is for you!
It is clearly written and logically structured. The entire design process is covered, from developing the initial concept through to creating a collection. Each step is outlined and helpful photos enhance the text. Topics include: Concept, theme, research, storyboard, silhouette, proportion, fabric, accessories, drawing, developing a collection, branding, and careers.
There is a section of interviews with people who work in the fashion industry. These give the reader a great view of where fashion can take you. They provide a useful insight into the real world of working in fashion. You might become a designer, a buyer, the leader of a fashion company, a selling agent, a fashion editor, illustrator, stylist, photographer. There are interviews with people who fill these roles.
"The Fundamentals of Fashion Design" would be a great text book for a fashion course. It is attractive and easy to read, while still covering topics in enough depth to challenge your thinking. It would also be suitable for anyone who wants to further develop their interest in fashion and the fashion industry.
I was impressed by this book, and I will be recommending it to my students who are studying fashion design!
