An impeccably shaped collar, the color and cut of a suit, a smart hat, the seam up the back of a stocking—these seemingly incidental hallmarks of fashion know-how separated trendsetters and tastemakers from the hopelessly dowdy during the 1920s through the early 1960s. Such fashion vanguards as Coco Chanel, Elsa Schiaparelli, Anne Klein, Christian Dior, Hubert de Givenchy, Pierre Cardin, and Mary Quant defined style for a generation of ready-to-wear designers and ensured that “stepping out” meant being pressed and well dressed. How to Draw & Paint Fashion & Costume Design resurrects this period of studied sophistication with a dazzling collection of fashion sketches from the Walter Foster archives. With original instruction from Walter T. Foster, Viola French, and Marilyn Sotto, this keepsake book provides everyone from the novice artist to the closet fashion designer abundant artistic inspiration and tips for creating timeless looks using a variety of art media.
