Fashion by Design First Edition ~1st P

Great textbook!

Bought used, but it was in like new condition. Arrived earlier than expected. Great book, needed for a class but enjoyed it and will keep it.

Thanks! Book was in excellent condition and I looked it very much. I would recommend it to anyone and the price was great!

The book came super fast! I got it for my class and i got it cheaper than the bookstore which is always great!

Came to me wrapped and completely new condition, as stated, so I was very happy with the condition I received it in.

This textbook is a wonderful introduction to the elements of fashion design!

Fashion by Design provides historical context for design theory and evolution. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous and clarify the discussion of design elements and principles. Anyone progressing through this book cannot help but develop a more artistic eye, honing his or her own design abilities. Projects outlined at the end of each chapter enable the student or individual reader to practice employing specific elements and principles. In addition, profiles of designers give insight into their artistic thinking and inspiration sources.I can't imagine a more important book for the aspiring fashion designer.

I got this for class. the cover is attractive, but honestly I haven't really read the book. Maybe it's because the way my instructor teaches the class makes me feel it's useless to read the book. But I am a little annoyed on how my instructor picks out the flaws of the book. Makes me question the quality of it. Such as how she believes the author of the book is a interior designer rather then a fashion designer, because of how the author uses ridiculous examples that are not in fabric, etc. Although I think those two profession are closely related, but it's still not the same.
