I think the person who wrote that last review is probably an old school artist, whose about getting the exact proportion ect.....I think this book illustrates how pple think outside the box of what fashion illustration could be. If your tired on seeing boring generic fashion images and want to get inspired get this book!

We just got this book into our library. I think it's good for graphic students, I enjoyed looking through it, then again I am not a fashion illustrator. They are awesome drawings, but very abstract. They convey the theme of the designer or seasons overall look. I think it is useful for students to get an idea that fashion illustration is NOT just basic sketching!

I've studied and drawn fashion illustrations for more than 20 years. I'm familier with the history, the artists, and the techniques of this genre.

Most fashion illustrations serve the purpose of either selling clothes or giving directions to people actually making the garments. Short of that, they've been used to present a fashionable illusion for p.r.

I'm not sure what purpose of the often very abstract illustrations in this book are supposed to serve. They aren't glamorous. They aren't drawn well enough to sell or direct in the creation of garments. Perhaps they were intended as decorative illustrations at either point-of-purchase locations or on websites.

Either way, I found the enclosed illustrations lacking in imagination, verve, and technical skill. This is the first book I've ever returned to Amazon.

This is an inspiring book at the cutting edge.
Every artist or designer should have it.
Awesome to see the fashion design industry is getting away
from stereotype and going in this direction.

On the other hand, conservative artists who
work traditionally, probably won't like it.

I was excited to received the book after reading the reviews, however when I got the book, only a few pages was worth looking at. Most of the illustrations looked like something that I did in elementary school, with few exceptions. I guess the idea behind the book is to show you all the different medians you can use, some poorly done. Most of the illustrations looked like school assignment I rushed through so I have something to hand to the teacher. Very poor collection of works, I expected a lot more. I have to say, this was not work the 12 bucks I spent on it.

The book has really fascinating pictures of different designs and opened my eyes to a new .....world =D
