A step-by-step drawing course for budding fashion designers

Leading fashion designers such as Anna Sui, Christian Lacroix, Zandra Rhodes and Valentino explain why drawing is so important to the design process, with examples from their sketchbooks for inspiration. Then there are sections that show how to create a fashion template (croquis), including fashion proportions and how to turn a stick figure into a full figure; how to draw skirts, trousers, jackets and dresses onto the fashion template; and how to develop a collection, including the creation of complete outfits and seasonal looks. Finally there’s a section that looks at the design process, from creating a mood board and following a brief to developing a collection.

How to Draw Like a Fashion Designer is based on hands-on workshops held at the Fashion and Textile Museum, London. It was the winner in the 12+ section of School Library Association's Information Book Awards 2014.

An inspirational journey through black fashion in America from the twentieth century to the present, featuring the most celebrated icons of Black style and taste.

One of the few surveys of Black style and fashion ever published, How to Slay offers a lavishly illustrated overview of African American style through the twentieth century, focusing on the last thirty-five years. Through striking images of some of the most celebrated icons of Black style and taste, from Josephine Baker, Michelle Obama, Maya Angelou, and Miles Davis to Rihanna, Naomi Campbell, Kanye West, and Pharrell Williams, this book explores the cultural underpinnings of Black trends that have become so influential in mainstream popular culture and a bedrock of fashion vernacular today. A preponderance of Black musicians, who for decades have inspired trends and transformed global fashion, are featured and discussed, while a diverse array of topics are touched upon and examined — hats, hair, divas, the importance of attitude, the use of color, ’60s style, the influence of Africa and the Caribbean, and the beauty of black skin.

A mind-bending archive of Collina Strada, the downtown New York brand that puts self-expression and honest sustainability first.

Launched in 2008 by Hillary Taymour, Collina Strada has spent the last decade successfully injecting the generally colorless style of downtown New York with acid-colored dye jobs, off-kilter dresses, sparkling hair pins, and fearlessly fluid ensembles. Rooted in interconnectedness, self-expression, and thoughtful production, the brand screams nonconformity: cosmically dyed dresses, rhinestone-studded water bottles, and wildly graphic bodysuits serve as representations of the cacophony of sounds, symbols, and spirit that imbue the Collina Strada world.

All of the brand’s pieces are produced in the USA using mostly reinterpreted deadstock materials: recycled t-shirts from Kantamanto Market in Accra, Ghana, and Rose Sylk, an organic cellulose fiber derived from rose bushes and their stems. Taymour has also shown an unwavering commitment to using the brand as a platform for social and environmental change, offering guests at her shows instructions on how to advocate for a rooftop garden in their building and ways to volunteer with vetted organizations.

Gathered within is a collection of iconic brand imagery, runway images, core pieces, and creative collaborations with artists like Dave Mattingly, the artist behind the iconic ’90s book series Animorphs. A visual feast overseen by Collina Strada art director Charlie Engman, this volume is an exciting style compendium that offers endless inspiration on being confident, conscious, and radically individual.

About the Authors:

Hillary Taymour is the LA turned New York–based fashion designer and founder of Collina Strada.

Дивовижна історія життя легендарної нью-йоркської стилістки та персонального шопера Бетті Халбрайх, натхнення для майбутнього телесеріалу HBO, який розробляє Лена Данхем.

Бетті Халбрайх — справжній оригінал. Зараз їй за вісімдесят, вона провела майже сорок років у розкішному магазині Bergdorf Goodman, працюючи зі світськими левицями, зірками та звичайними жінками. Вона допомогла багатьом оцінити своє справжнє «я» через одяг, відверті поради та свою унікальну мудрість; їй довіряють найвибагливіші люди, включаючи провідних стилістів Голлівуду, підказувати їм, що виглядає найкраще. Але її власне перетворення з розпещеної дівчини на безстрашну правдолюбку — це найбільше перетворення з усіх.

Народжена в успішній чиказькій сім'ї, у віці двадцяти років Бетті вийшла заміж за блискучого Сонні Халбрайха та переїхала на Мангеттен, де пара поринула у вир довгих годин, коктейлів та вечірок на Парк-авеню, живучи розкішним життям у Нью-Йорку 1950-х років. Однак шлюб почав розпадатися і через два десятиліття остаточно розпався. Осиротіла Бетті, вона спробувала покінчити життя самогубством. Коли вона розпочала лячний процес самовідновлення, їй запропонували рятівне коло: роботу в Bergdorf Goodman. Для Бетті, з її вродженим почуттям стилю та майстерністю, це було ідеальним вибором.

Працьовита, елегантна, обдарована блискучим дотепністю та гострою спостережливістю, Бетті Халбрайх ніколи не боїться говорити прямо як у своїй дивовижній історії життя, так і у своєму стилістичному керівництві.

i-D began as a fanzine dedicated to the street style of punk-era London in 1980 and quickly earned its position at the vanguard of fashion and style, abiding by the premise of “originate — don’t imitate.” This anniversary volume is the ultimate tribute to the irreverent and forward-thinking magazine that revolutionized not only the world of fashion publishing but fashion itself. 

Over the 40 years since its launch, i-D has grown from a hand-stapled zine to one of the world’s leading international style titles with two million Instagram followers. Founded by Terry Jones in 1980, i-D began as a chronicle of style and attitude as much as a fashion bible, and over the years it has kept to that ethos, in the process becoming a nurturing ground for generations of fashion talents, from David Sims to Juergen Teller, Edward Enninful to Wolfgang Tillmans, Tyler Mitchell to Harley Weir.

This celebratory volume commemorates the 40th anniversary of i-D through the prism of different cultural eras, with each chapter focusing on a decade of the magazine’s history and featuring a mix of original rephotographed spreads from the magazine, reprinted text pieces, archival imagery, covers, and new essays exploring both the history of i-D and the wider cultural contexts of the era it was created in. It’s a magazine that has given Greta Thunberg, Madonna, Naomi Campbell, and Sonic the Hedgehog their first covers; that invented the emoticon; and that, across 40 years and 500 cover winks, has had one defining message: that fashion should be inclusive, fun, diverse, and — always — original.

About the Author:

Since punk-era London in 1980, i-D has launched the careers of some of the most innovative and influential talent in the world. By constantly reinventing itself, i-D has built its reputation on being a consistent source of inspiration in fashion culture. i-D prides itself on being the voice of a generation, the voice of the disenfranchised and the under-represented, the platform for those who have something to say.

“Women are into fashion, men are into style, style is forever.” Domenico Dolce

Womenswear progresses in leaps and bounds, fuelled by the readiness of women to wear what may at the time be perceived as the radical or outrageous. Not so menswear –menswear evolves, slowly. But from what? Behind nearly every item in the modern male wardrobe is a ‘first of its kind’ – the definitive item, often designed by a single company or brand for specialist use, on which all subsequent versions have been based (and originals of which are now collector items in the booming vintage market).

The T-shirt, for example, may now be an innocuous, everyday item, but was created by American company Hanes for US Navy personnel at the turn of the 20th century and was subsequently adopted by sportsmen and bikers. Other items have been designed for sport, farm work, protection and made their way into everyday usage.

Icons of Men's Style examines, garment by garment, the most important and famous of these products – their provenance and history, the stories of their design, the brand/company that started it all and how the item shaped the way men dress today.

About the Author:

Behind nearly every item in the modern wardrobe is a 'first of its kind' - the definitive item, often designed by a single company or brand for specialist use, on which all subsequent versions have been based (and originals of which are now collector items in the booming vintage market).

As traditional definitions of men's and women's clothes are fast changing, this book combines all key garments for everyone.

Inspiring images of the best examples of the garment - from the 1930s to contemporary times, from Marlene Dietrich to Mick Jagger - show the timeless beauty of these garments that are the basics of the stylish.

Packed with substance as well as style – this publication is a sumptuous fanfare for a whole new world of high fashion. It is sure to become a collectible.

Known both for their fashion creations for men and women and for interior design, Jani and Khosla's reputation extends far beyond India: many international celebrities wear their creations, among them Dames Judi Dench and Maggie Smith, Sophie Marceau and Sarah Brown.

Stylishly packaged in a slipcase, this two volume publication is an unparalleled showcase of Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla’s exuberant fashion and interiors, illustrated with hundreds of specially commissioned photographs.

Both books feature appearances by luminaries of Bollywood, Hollywood and Indian high society, while texts by writer Gayatri Sinha explain the background to the designer duo’s success, complemented by numerous photographs from their own private albums.

Paramount in both books is Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla's rediscovery and revivification of once moribund traditional crafts, and the glorious ways in which they make use of local artisans and reinvent their heritage by redeploying Indian antiques, artefacts and vintage textiles.

India in Fashion explores the beautiful and sophisticated history and aesthetics of traditional Indian fashion, dress, and textiles and their profound impact on European and American fashion from the eighteenth century to today.

This intoxicating and visually rich volume — with texts by experts from India, Europe, and North America — is published to accompany a major exhibition that celebrates the long historical contributions that Indian dress, textiles, and embroidery have had on Western fashion. From the introduction of chintz dressmaking fabrics in the eighteenth century to the early nineteenth-century vogue for light Indian fabrics, paisleys, and chikan embroideries to larger realities of empire and cultural appropriation, this volume features paintings, fashion magazine editorials, and portraits of influential people who championed Indian style throughout history.

Traditional hues of brilliant royal blue, marigold, and fuchsia; intricate ikat and calico patterns; and sumptuous textiles enliven every page. Archival and contemporary fashion stories include kaleidoscopic images by photographers such as Henry Clarke in Udaipur in 1967, Arthur Elgort in Jaipur in 1999, and Mikael Jansson in Goa with Indian actress Lakshmi Menon in 2011. Traditional Indian embroidery techniques; design motifs; and dress forms such as saris, jodhpurs, and turbans are reimagined by renowned designers Paul Poiret, Elsa Schiaparelli, Pierre Balmain, Zandra Rhodes, Halston, Yves Saint Laurent, Oscar de la Renta, Gianni Versace, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Alexander McQueen, in addition to a wealth of contemporary Indian designers.

Вона мала дар розпізнавати модних геніїв – серед її відкриттів були Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan та Sophie Dahl, які миттєво стали культовими. Її погляд поставив її в центр високої моди, проте родовід Ізабелли, п'янке енергійне вбрання, шикарне почуття гумору, естетика, що розширює межі, та її готовність носити епатажне зробили її іконою стилю.

Lyrical Life-Wear. A tribute to the designer Issey Miyake

Initiated and conceived by Midori Kitamura, this definitive history of the life and work of Issey Miyake offers a unique insight into the designer’s vision and daring. With stunning photographs by Irving Penn, Yuriko Takagi and many others, the book is an encyclopedic reference to Miyake’s material and technical innovations from 1960 to 2022.

In 1983, Japanese designer Issey Miyake told The New Yorker that he aspired “to forge ahead, to break the mold.” With the boundary-defying fashion lines that followed, he not only broke molds, but recast clothing altogether. With a unique fusion of poetry and practicality, his creations blur the boundaries between tradition, modern technology, and everyday function.

This definitive history of Miyake’s clothes from 1960 to 2022 offers expert insight into the designer’s vision and daring. Initiated and conceived by Midori Kitamura, the book looks at the texture-driven originality of Miyake’s materials and techniques from the very earliest days of his career, before he had even established the Miyake Design Studio. Drawing on nearly 50 years of collaborative work with Miyake, Kitamura creates an encyclopedic reference of his material and technical innovations through the clothes based on A Piece of Cloth concept, Body Series of the 1980s, Miyake Pleats series, and such practical, everyday designs as Pleats Please pieces.

Stunning photographs capture his clothes in their particular quotidian originality. In her far-reaching essay, meanwhile, leading cultural figure Kazuko Koike offers both a complete chronology of Miyake’s work, and an unprecedented personal profile, looking at the ambition and inspirations that have driven his repertoire from tender teenage years. A must-have for designers, students, and fashion devotees, this is a timeless tribute to one of the most innovative makers of our age.

The designer:

Renowned clothing designer Issey Miyake (1938–2022) studied graphic design at Tama Art University, Tokyo, before founding the Miyake Design Studio in 1970, Miyake’s creative base for all his work. In 2007, Miyake opened the design facility 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT, also in Tokyo.

The editor:

Midori Kitamura is chairman of the Miyake Design Studio and the Miyake Issey Foundation, and also president of 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT, working under Issey Miyake to develop collections, exhibitions, products, and publications, including Pleats Please Issey Miyake , also with TASCHEN. Kitamura directed the 2011 exhibition, Irving Penn and Issey Miyake: Visual Dialogue.

Texts by:

Kazuko Koike is the founder and director of Sagacho Exhibit Space in Tokyo. She has written and edited many books, including Issey Miyake East Meets West, Japanese Coloring, Japan Design, and Aura of Space. She is an Advisory Board member of MUJI.
