The world of fashion illustration has had a sensational renaissance in the last 5 years, but the art form goes back to the beginning of the 20th century and today's exponents are still benefiting from some of the styles, shapes and colours of fashion illustrators from decades ago.

Whether they work with traditional pencils, crayons and watercolours or with a digital pen, fashion illustrators today will find inspiration from these 200 images.

This volume collates the best fashion illustration that was captured in the pages of the iconic Harper's Bazaar magazine from the 1920s to 1970. The publication has been at the forefront of fashion since the 19th century and it is no surprise that it published the best work in this art form.

From the mannered shapes of Leon Benigni of the 1930s to the looser outlines of the late 1960s, the book is a beautiful resource for all illustrators.

Examining the imaginative and compelling way in which fashion has permeated 21st century culture, this book considers the relationship between fashion on the catwalk and architecture, interiors and products. Many fashion designers extend their aesthetic into interiors and products for the home as a natural progression from clothing the body.

The home is now subject to the same directional trends as fashion, in part because so many designers are extending their practice to include interiors, as well as products and accessories. The fusion between fashion and interiors has never been more relevant. The proliferation of ideas, the speed of manufacture, and an increasingly visually literate consumer, have all resulted in interiors being subject to the same desire for innovation, change and fashionability as fashion. This investigation of the hectic dissemination of trends takes the reader on an eclectic, adventurous excursion into living with fashion.

The relationship between print and high fashion has never been more potent. Fashion is fuelled by the desire for change, and developments in print, texture and finishes are lending themselves to a radical shift in fashion in the 21st century. Marnie Fogg explores cutting-edge print design for fashion through the eyes of the designer by investigating the design process, looking at sources of inspiration and the effects of innovative developments in print technology. With interviews and exclusive archive material from renowned fashion and textile designers such as Eley Kushimoto, Jonathan Saunders, Paul Smith and Consuelo Castiglioni for ltalian fashion label Marni, this book explores the synergy between garment and print, From the perennial influence of nature on print design, through folkloric and fantasy inspired print to graphic and abstract designs and finally the power of vintage, this is an essential guide to understanding print in fashion today.
