A Visual Guide to the History, Language, and Practice of Fashion

Fashion Design, Referenced is a comprehensive visual guide to the central concepts, key terminology, and most significant practices in the field of fashion design. Neither a historical survey nor an A-to-Z encyclopedia, this 400-page volume examines fashion across the globe by organizing its many interwoven elements within four overarching concepts. "Fundamentals", provides an overview of the essential structure of the fashion profession. "Principles" introduces the steps in creating a collection and explores new directions suggested by advances in technology and sustainability. "Dissemination" charts the many interconnecting avenues by which fashion reaches its audience. "Practice" gathers and appraises the work of the most influential and innovative fashion designers, both historical and contemporary. Fashion Design, Referenced chronicles the scope of ideas, inspirations, and expressions that make fashion such a compelling part of world culture.

Image Makers

Images rule fashion. They are the primary delivery system for a designer’s creation. Fashion illustrators and photographers play a unique role in the fashion industry. While capturing the essence of a designer’s collection on a page or a screen to sell and inspire, they are simultaneously interpreting style from a personal perspective that filters through social history and contemporary culture—whether they realize it or not. As a result, illustrators and photographers have become a vital part of the evolution of fashion, often influencing designers, media, and consumers through innovative advertising and artistic editorial work.
