Fashion Illustration Next

By Laird Borrelli and BORRELLI LAIRD

Book Overview

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.

loved it!

The book has really fascinating pictures of different designs and opened my eyes to a new .....world =D

brilliant design

This is an inspiring book at the cutting edge. Every artist or designer should have it. Awesome to see the fashion design industry is getting away from stereotype and going in this direction. On the other hand, conservative artists who work traditionally, probably won't like it.

best illustration book ive seen!

I think the person who wrote that last review is probably an old school artist, whose about getting the exact proportion ect.....I think this book illustrates how pple think outside the box of what fashion illustration could be. If your tired on seeing boring generic fashion images and want to get inspired get this book!
