We Think Fashion Designers are Sketchy
Coco Chanel, Roy Halston, Gianni Versace…fashion’s hall of fame is filled with impressive and talented MVPs, all connected by a common thread…an initial sketch. Regardless of the creator, the design process begins with the pivotal step of “putting pencil to paper.” Used as a tool to unlock inspiration and express a directive, fashion illustration has over time come to be celebrated as a form of art in itself.
“100 Years of Fashion Illustration” by Cally Blackman, surveys the last century’s evolution of style through collected sketches and illustrations. The insightful book explores the history of fashion through visual representation in different methods that emerged through the decades: from ink sketches to colorful advertisements from the 1950s to computer-aided design most recently.
This coffee table book is sure to entertain your guests while you’re running fashionably late.
