Successful sales result from effective promotion. In the fashion industry, we can find a lot of shiny graphics on tags, packages, invitations, look books, advertising and other collaterals. Fashion brand communication is all about tactility. As the product itself relies on feeling, especially the touch and smell of the fabric, so the graphic or packaging representation of these values must have the same properties. It is crucially important to choose carefully the materials, to innovate with printing processes such as with die cutting, foil blocking, thermo-graphic print and push the boundaries of the unexpected. When we unwrap our purchases, or take them out of the bag, we want to be reminded by the feeling between our fingertips of the values that are embroidered in the label. This collection presents over 100 fashionable brands which have excellent promo graphics. 'Fashion Graphics' demonstrates why designing for the fashion industry is one of the most exciting and demanding creative challenges in branding, communication and visual expression.

This book brings together an extensive collection of models and poses which serve as a primary source of inspiration to develop personal style. In the form of a collection of outfits, styles, prints and accessories, this exceptional range of articles take on their own personal shape when applied to a silhouette. Beginning with a simple 2D sketch of the garment, its subsequent use in the fashion sketch is seen to reveal some unexpected and sudden changes: the perception of weight changes when the model is standing, the volume is projected by movement and shading highlights hitherto unnoticed details. Only in a dynamic pose can we perceive the different angles visible in reality. Likewise, the ever present illustrations of semi-naked figures represent the human anatomy for which the garments are to be designed.

Fashion is another name for vogue. It stands at the forefront of the avant-garde trends. Illustration is the most flexible graphic design which could convey designers' inspirations freely. What if fashion meets illustration? When fashion is illustrated with diverse illustration approaches, the passionate images would enhance the fascinating charm of fashion. In the book, pencil, watercolour, colour pen, marker pen, software, collage and synthesis approaches are introduced in detail. The trendy elements in fashion are illustrated in a fresh way.
