Product Description
Book Description
Fashion illustration is hot. More and more, the most arresting visual images seen today are not photographed; they are stylishly drawn. This smart, sophisticated, trend-setting book showcases the work of 29 of the world's top fashion illustrators-an international galaxy of talent whose evocative illustrations often seem to define what is hip and contemporary.
The artists, who include Ruben Alterio, Mats Gustafson, Jean-Philippe Delhomme, and Maurice Vellekoop, among others, are divided stylistically into three groups: Sensualists (who work in the fine arts tradition with paints, inks, wood blocks, and stencils, and who concentrate as much on the process of illustration as the subject); Gamines & Sophisticates (whose work is figurative and who use caricature and cartooning to create characters and comment on behavior); and Technocrats (those wizards of computer-generated art who are exploring the limits of illustration's newest frontier). Together, these illustrators are revitalizing the marriage of art and fashion at the turn of the millennium.
LAIRD BORRELLI is a fashion historian at New York's Fashion Institute of Technology. She is a contributor to the journal Fashion Theory and has curated exhibitions at FIT.
210 illustrations in full color, 91/2 x 111/4"

Inspirational!,
By "marciptown" (provincetown, ma USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stylishly Drawn: Contemporary, Fashion, Illustration (Hardcover)
I was utterly inspired and awed by this book. It contains all my favorite illustrators and many more that I am glad to get to know. As an amateur artist/illustrator I had to get down to work as soon as I was first done leafing through it. Truly inspirational! If I had anything against it was that Jordi Labarda's work selection for the book was not a fraction of his talent and creativity. Great otherwise! Loved the bios at the end too.
