From researching new concepts to incorporating sustainable practices into design, production and distribution - this is the ultimate introduction to the fashion industry.
From the first sketch to handling a prototype, Fashion Design: The Complete Guide is an all-inclusive overview of the entire design process. This second edition begins with an exploration of fashion in the context of different histories and cultural moments, before fashion designer and educator John Hopkins walks you through fashion drawing, colour, fibres, research methods, and studio must-knows such as pattern making, draping, and fitting.
You’ll also learn how to develop your portfolio and practice as a professional designer. Each of the six chapters ends with activities to help you hone your skills.
Interviewees include Stefan Siegel (founder and CEO of Not Just A Label), Maggie Norris (Founder of Maggie Norris Couture and former designer at Ralph Lauren), Samson Soboye (Creative Director and Founder of Soboye Boutique), and Jessica Bird (a fashion illustrator, whose clients include Vivienne Westwood and matchesfashion.com).
With discussion of the evolving role of social media and the practicalities of incorporating sustainability at the centre of the design process, this is an essential text for any aspiring fashion designer.
