"Styled by hand, this title features the many incarnations of illustration in the world of fashion. Every dress begins with a drawing, every skirt with a sketch. Illustration is integral to fashion design not only as a means of expression, and the starting point of every design, but also for patterns and prints as well as magazine editorial illustrations. Often, artists will even illustrate the newest looks directly from the catwalks. It's high time we celebrated fashion illustration in our Illustration Now! series: here you'll find new work from over 90 artists around the globe, including Ruben Toledo, Aurore de La Morinerie, Bil Donovan, Tanya Ling, and Jean-Philippe Delhomme. The book features quotes by experts from the fashion world: Valentino compliments the work of Gladys Perint Palmer; voices out of the studios of Maison Martin Margiela, Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, and H&M add their praise for the talents in the book. Following an introduction by illustration expert Steven Heller, the historical essay by art and fashion historian Adelheid Rasche provides an in-depth exploration of the subject. Looking back to the 17th century, she draws a timeline of fashion illustration until today, accompanied by images such as an early etching by Francois Watteau, a drawing by Paul Iribe for the book of the famous Parisian couturier Paul Poiret, and illustrations by the highly acclaimed masters of modern fashion illustration Rene Gruau and Antonio Lopez as well as, from the later generation, Mats Gustafson and Francois Berthoud.手工造型,本书主要是许多插画在时尚界的化身。每件礼服都是以画开始,每件裙子都是以素描开始。插画是时装设计不可或缺的部分,不仅仅是一种表达方式和每个设计的起点,还是模式和打印以及杂志编辑插图。通常,艺术家甚至会更直观地以图说明T台上的最新装扮。我们著名的现代插画系列的时装插画正是时候:在这里你会发现全球90多位艺术家的新作品,包括鲁本.托莱多,Aurore de La Morinerie,比尔·多诺万,家唐雅·凌,让·菲利普·德罗莫。本书对时尚界专家引用的有:华伦天奴对Gladys Perint Palmer作品的赞美;梅森·马丁·马吉拉工作室,克里斯汀•迪奥、路易威登、和H&M为本书中的人才而赞美。随着插画专家史蒂文•海勒的简介,艺术和时装史学家阿德尔海德.拉希的文章深入探索了这一主题。回顾了17世纪,她描绘了直到今天的时装历史的时间轴,伴随着图像如早期的弗朗索瓦•华托的蚀刻,保罗.伊里巴的绘图和Rene Gruau的插画以及安东尼奥·洛佩兹,后来的有马兹·古斯塔夫森和Francois Berthoud。
