Fashion Design Workshop: Stylish step-by-step projects and drawing tips for up-and-coming designers (Walter Foster Studio)

After a long visit to a book store out of town my daughter did not want to put this book down. She put it on a list for Christmas of course we did not buy it there because we knew we could get it on amazon with out her finding out and possibly a better deal and we got both. When I was at the book store with her I just flipped through the pages and said that looks really nice. Did not pay that much attention in the store at it. We have purchased so many of these books and sets as well.After receiving this I of course done a good look through at it. My wife being an art lover enjoyed this one as well and understood why my daughter wanted it so bad! Lately we have been running accross the style drawing books that your child decorates the clothes on the dolls body which is already drew and then you have those boring step by step books with no flare to bore you to death. With a child that is way past those steps it is hard to keep them enjoying what they like to do when they are not inspired. This book is great for inspiration. Well we think it is for our daughter. She is not allowed to get into the TV drama stuff so what she likes is what she learns fom books. She also likes to make her designs to doll size designs and actually sew them into doll clothes for her American girl dolls. Anyway back to this wonderful book It is worth every penny and alot more.This one shows:creating texture, drawing techniques,color basics a color wheel,fashion terms, fashion textures, Figure proportions, poses heads hands .......... so much more. Then it gets into fashions from new styles to some vintage styles. Also body templates. All I can say is I think once she gets this she will be busy for a long time with it. I am glad she found it.The flare in the book was very inticing and the styles were wonderful. This would be a great book for any age. My daughter is 10 but I could see young adults even enjoying if it was something they wanted to get into.

I bought this for my neice who although is only 10 years old she is mature for her age and already very interested in fashion designing. I saw this and thought it might be a good option for a presen,t along with My Style Studio: Design and Trace Your Own Fashions by Klutz. It arrived quickly and when I opened it I was thrilled, it exceeded my expectations. It contains everything a budding fashion designer could wish for. Wonderful illustrations, ideas, comments, patterns and full of modern outfits, not dated at all. My neice loves it and she can't wait to show me her new projects each time I see her. It has been the perfect gift for her and actually I am a little envious as I would quite like to have one of my own.I would recommend this product.

Apprentissage très "girly" du stylisme : très bien fait pour les jeunes qui veulent s'initier pas à pas au dessin de mode, des accessoires, des mannequins, beaux dessins et abordable dans la technique. A recommander pour vos enfants qui s'initieront par la même occasion à l'anglais.

my daughter liked it

We surprised our 9-year old daughter with this fashion design guide book. She had several similar books before and loves them, considering that she reckons her future occupation will be in fashion design. And I must admit her drawing and designs are getting progressively impressive. This book goes a little further than just playful craft. It's actually quite professional aimed at those with a serious interest in fashion design.Other than just models and dresses that can be coloured-in this book serves as an introduction to the fundamentals of fashion figure drawing. Out daughter particularly appreciated that the book also learned her to draw sketches of the human body. But there are overview of a large amount garment styles and variants.Through a stepwise approach a broad selection of styles is presented. Shoes, hats, and other fashion accessories are addressed as well. There is a fashion glossary in the back. And chapter 6 provides a series of fashion figure templates that can be copied for the young reader’s own designs.Very good almost semi-professional book, much better and of a higher level than expected.
