Overview

An inspirational and beautifully illustrated book that pushes novel fashion designers and students to create their own collection. Creating a collection is a process that requires much thought and organisation, with different steps to be considered. First of all, it is necessary to find a concept, a theme that structures the designs of the collection and from which the creations are developed. It follows a moodboard, an inspirational collage formed by images, text and samples of materials prior to the design of the collection, which then leads to the actual drawing using the illustration technique of one's choosing. Through these creations the reader will learn the necessary elements that any collection should have and how it should be presented in a portfolio. The techniques used in the book range from watercolor to collage, as well as digital tools.
