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. | | | |

 best illustration book ive seen! Oct 05, 2005
By mavel
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!

 Different Jan 10, 2005

We just got this book into our library. I think it's good for graphic students, I enjoyed looking through it, then again I am not a fashion illustrator. They are awesome drawings, but very abstract. They convey the theme of the designer or seasons overall look. I think it is useful for students to get an idea that fashion illustration is NOT just basic sketching!

 Very disapointing Dec 22, 2004
By B. Richardson
"5crows"
I've studied and drawn fashion illustrations for more than 20 years. I'm familier with the history, the artists, and the techniques of this genre.
Most fashion illustrations serve the purpose of either selling clothes or giving directions to people actually making the garments. Short of that, they've been used to present a fashionable illusion for p.r.
I'm not sure what purpose of the often very abstract illustrations in this book are supposed to serve. They aren't glamorous. They aren't drawn well enough to sell or direct in the creation of garments. Perhaps they were intended as decorative illustrations at either point-of-purchase locations or on websites.
Either way, I found the enclosed illustrations lacking in imagination, verve, and technical skill. This is the first book I've ever returned to Amazon.

brilliant design Nov 19, 2006
By zen
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.

Only a few pages are worth looking at! Feb 18, 2010
By Art Student
I was excited to received the book after reading the reviews, however when I got the book, only a few pages was worth looking at. Most of the illustrations looked like something that I did in elementary school, with few exceptions. I guess the idea behind the book is to show you all the different medians you can use, some poorly done. Most of the illustrations looked like school assignment I rushed through so I have something to hand to the teacher. Very poor collection of works, I expected a lot more. I have to say, this was not work the 12 bucks I spent on it.
