FASHION ILLUSTRATION AND DESIGN: ACCESSORIES

Brilliantly illustrated by Manuela Brambatti and with the participation of the designer Fabio Menconi, the book guides readers through the fashion world’s most iconic accessories, and it features practical information and technical advice on how to draw to achieve a desired result. From creating a basic drawing to using colour, the way in which techniques are presented seeks to encourage readers to try out what they have learned. The publication provides detailed information on how to capture different materials, surfaces and decorations—for example, skin, natural fibres, wool and prints—and it includes sections that provide tips on where to look for inspiration. It also offers examples of transformations in designs and reviews the historical development of accessories. In short, this is a comprehensive, structured and systematic volume that will serve professionals, students and anyone who wants to venture into designing and illustrating fashion accessories.
