The Sourcebook of Contemporary Fashion Design

The Sourcebook of Contemporary Fashion Design is the first large-scale book of its kind to showcase a complete and diverse range of contemporary fashion designers notable for their work in couture and ready-to-wear clothing. Case studies incorporate every type of design project possible-from the T-shirt to the evening dress, shoes to handbags, and hats to jewelry. Categorized according to design type, purpose, and style, each design is exhaustively catalogued with illustrations, photography, and in-depth writing that contextualize the material. Complete with a visual index that contains the designers' biographies and contact information, this book is an invaluable resource that consumers, designers, design students, fashion retailers, merchandisers, and stylists will turn to again and again.
