The photograph has long been the medium of fashion, but contemporary illustration is transforming how the industry is presented. Fashion Illustration Next presents the work of nearly forty artists from around the world whose work is changing the way we see fashion, free of model worship and the cult of the photographer. Though it is no shock that the new generation of illustrators makes abundant use of digital media and techniques, the surprising array of results -- from high-sheen artifice to fantasy collage to work that looks like "old school" pen-and-ink -- represents a rich confluence of styles. More than 200 examples of this cutting-edge work convey a host of moods reflecting the state of the modern world as much as that of the fashion industry, and revealing a tendency toward the erotic, fantastic, introspective, and sometimes sinister. Fashion Illustration Next is the collision of fashion and vision.

The pages of magazines like Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and Wallpaper are brimming with the exciting evocations of designs and trends created by a talented array of new artists. As seen in the advertising campaigns of designers such as Anna Sui. Marc Jacobs, and Yohji Yamamoto, fashion illustration has become the vehicle that defines the contemporary. This up-to-the-minute presentation showcases the work of nearly thirty of the top international illustrators from sixteen countries, among them Jeffrey Fulvimari, Hiroshi Tanabe, Carlotta, and Tobie Giddio. Fashion historian Laird Borrelli groups the distinctive and diverse illustration styles into three main categories. First, the Sensualists work in a fluid, fine-arts tradition in ink or acrylic, reveling in brushstrokes, layered color, textured papers, and paint. Next, the Gamines and Sophisticates focus on character, rendering girls with big eyes a la Twiggy who exude urban sophistication, elegance, and composure. Lastly, the work of the Technocrats -- designers who work on the computer at the vanguard of fashion illustration -- is featured here for the first time in any survey.

Fashion design begins in the designer’s creative mind, and drawing is the crucial next step to communicating creative ideas to others to bring those ideas to reality. Clear, expressive drawings engage and bring together people in patternmaking, production, marketing, and all other facets of the fashion business, ensuring that everyone shares the same vision that originates with the designer. Kathryn Hagen brings decades of experience teaching design students how best to translate their ideas into drawings. She opens with basic drawing skills using both hand tools and computer techniques before moving on to applying those skills to both the human figure and the specifics of various types of clothing. Throughout the book she exposes designers to myriad techniques and styles, encouraging each individual to discover what works best for him or her. Each chapter ends with practice exercises as well as visual references to review and reinforce material learned in the chapter lessons. Videos demonstrating hands-on examples can be viewed at waveland.com/Hagen, with emphasis on distressed fabrics and novelty treatments. 84 pages of color present a wide variety of rendering techniques.
