О книге Figure Drawing for Fashion Design

Figure Drawing for Fashion Design расскажет о создании моды на уровне эскизов, когда только создается будущий шедевр. Эскиз – является основным средством визуализации идей и концепций в дизайне одежды. Чтобы получить точное представление, что находится в уме дизайнера, жизненно важно полностью владеть правилами изображения силуэта человека и владеть навыками стилизации и некоторого преувеличения, чтобы передать индивидуальность и стиль.

Книга Figure Drawing for Fashion Design – это новое издание о изобразительном искусстве дизайна одежды, в корне пересмотренное, обновлённое и дополненное – оно предлагает краткое пособие, которое поможет приобрести соответствующие навыки и научиться концентрироваться на женской фигуре.

The choice of weave, type and thickness of yarn, and pattern have an enormous impact on the final appearance of clothing. A garment made of denim or tweed may have the same cut, but they will each have a very different look and feel from one another. This book and CD-ROM set draws together reproductions of some 250 textile weaves, reproduced (and, where needed, enhanced) in such a way as to make them suitable for sketching, either by hand or digitally. This selection has been made with fashion and textile designers in mind, but, of course, the images are also very suitable as backgrounds for graphic applications and web design.

What pareos, sarongs, saris, shawls, scarves, capes, and bandanas all have in common is that they consist of one piece of fabric. However, they differ enormously in size and shape and how they are wrapped, draped and secured. Linking the roots of one-piece clothing with modern fashion design, Wrap & Drape Fashion offers a comprehensive overview of the historical and cultural particulars of unstitched garments. Furthermore, this book contains practical instruction on creating new prints, and many unique examples of how to cut fabric to create exciting, fashionable one-piece apparel. This is accompanied by original cut designs, complete with measurements and fabric recommendations.

Contains more than 400 excellent, professional drawings, including many step-by-step examples of how to sketch the figure. As a source of inspiration and instruction, this book is an essential tool for fashion enthusiasts, students and professionals.

FIGURE DRAWING FOR FASHION DESIGN offers a concise, topic by topic guide to acquiring and perfecting these skills, concentrating on the female form. The coverage provided means that this book is ideal both for those who want to apply themselves professionally to fashion design and for all enthusiasts of drawing the human body. Fashion plates are the primary means of visualizing ideas and concepts in costume and fashion design. To give an accurate impression of what is in a designer’s mind it is vital to have complete mastery of the rules of figure drawing. Here, realism and anatomical precision are the chief values, whereas, for costume and fashion, stylization and exaggeration are ways of adding individuality and verve to a plate, and of focusing attention on specific elements.
