Fashion Illustration & Design: Methods & Techniques for Achieving Professional Results

Description

A design tutorial by Manuela Brambatti, Versace's chief design illustrator, the book is an idea of couturier Flavio Marconi who, impressed by her drawing style, her unique taste designing fashion collections and the precision with which she captures the flow of fabric over the body, convinced her to put it into print. Here Brambatti reveals her fresh and innovative style, not better than others, as she writes, but orginal and distinctive for Versace’s workshop, halfway between fashion sketching and illustration. Manuela Brambatti began to work in the fashion world in the late '70's for the fashion magazine Style and for other magazines. She has collaborated with Giorgio Correggiari, Krizia, and Gian Marco Venturi. Employee, and later exclusive partner of the Versace fashion house from 1981 to 2009, Manuela, was crucial in setting standards in the Style magazine for the presentation of all fashion collections and their illustrations and, in recent years, the Home Collection of the Brand. Foreword writer Bruno Gianesi worked for Gianni Versace’s for sixteen years as head stylist and manager of theatrical projects. He designed costumes for respected choreographers and directors such as Maurice Béjart, Roland Petit, William Forsythe, and Bob Wilson and designed also clothing for famous members of the international jet-set, including Elton John, Madonna, Lady Diana, and Sting. The journalist and foreword writer Tony di Corcia published several books about Gianni Versace. Review: Awesome, informative book - I can recommend this book to everyone who is intrested in fashion design, illustrating and drawing. The quality of the book itself is on very hight level, efforts that author put into it are huge. The book contains big amount of artworks of author, including those that was made for Versace, not only costumes, but acsessories and elements of interior too. Also, about half of the book contains tutorials, showing us how to draw a figure in different poses, to draw a face, to render whole costumes, textures and textiles. I am happy that I bought this book, it is a great addition to my library. Awesome. Review: A great fashion tutorial book 🤗 - This is a amazing. I love how it shows you tutorials on how to draw croquis, faces, hands, fabrics, and etc. Another thing that I saw was that it shows you what tools to use and how to use them in your sketches. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to starts sketching or improve on certain sketching techniques.
