A Future Fashion Designer Must Have,
By D. M. "crazilittledi" (New York City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 9 Heads: A Guide to Drawing Fashion (Paperback)
I am a high school student currently taking Fashion Designing Classes at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, which is where I want to go to college. My professor told me about 9 Heads and after working with it for about 5 months now, she noticed dramatic (good) changes in my drawing. I strongly suggest this book for anyone who is considering fashion designing because it has everything and beyond in it- figures, collars, necklines, skirts, pants, sleeves, faces- EVERYTHING!

great fashion illustration book,
This review is from: 9 Heads: A Guide to Drawing Fashion (Paperback)
9 heads starts as a very professional teaching book with all the details needed for a design student who wants to learn more about fashion illustration. towards the end of the beautiful designed book itself comes the big plus: the examples of some of the finest and famous fashion designers worldwide, like the great christian lacroix or the new star bernhard willhelm. both represented with their fashion and their truly originally illustrations. the book is a great guide to get as good as them. not only is every way you can draw/see an eye, a hand, the body, the draping of the material, the light on clothes and many more important and helpful details presented - there are also fascinating interviews to be found.

Best Fashion Book I Own,
By Joseph (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 9 Heads: A Guide to Drawing Fashion (Paperback)
I am a fashion student at Parsons, and this book is the exact equivilant of two years of training. My drawings improved beyond belief even after just a few days of studying this bible. The drawings are informative and have a style and flair that only the best illustrators posess. Impressive -- A must have for any fashion student!!
