Este libro es la biblia del diseñador de moda, de cualquiera que trabaje en el sector o de cualquiera curioso de la estética y sus formas. Es la guía más completa de moda, y donde vas a poder encontrar los nombres de todo tipo de largos de falda, shapes, cuellos, puños, cortes de vestido, etc...Abreviaturas de todo tipo de materiales.Hasta te habla de los procesos necesarios en cada uno de los tipos de tinturas y estampación.Los que trabajáis en moda y no la conocías me lo vais a agradecer.Ah!! y algo curioso que comentar a colación de los conocimientos de moda y distinción de coloridos de los personajes en las novelas románticas...¿Será que también tiene la fashionpedia en casa? duda , dudosa...Si no es así. Lo siento, pero me suena rarísimo, que un muchacho sepa lo que es una falda lápiz, un escote corazón o un cuello Halter.

Le livre indispensable pour ceux et celles qui créent des vêtements : les dessins sont clairs et détaillés. Quelques modèles manquent mais ce n'est pas dramatique car vous en avez déjà un paquet à disposition.

Un libro estilo mini-diccionario visual, para conocer la terminología básica de las prendas de moda.
Muy útil para diseñadores de moda que necesiten conocer términos específicos para las descripciones de las fichas técnicas de las prendas. Una pena que no esté traducido al español.

As someone who is new to sewing, I appreciated how thorough this book was and how it had the basics but also has really detailed information about the clothing production industry. That's not relevant to what I do but I liked learning about it.

I love this book and wish I would have found it much, much sooner.

If you wear clothes, you can make use of this book. If you've ever wondered what the exact name of that thing you love wearing is called, you can find it in here.

If you're a writer, artist, sewist or designer this could be an invaluable reference resource. Has sections on everything you can think of: jackets, shirts, dresses, pants, skirts, underwear, collars, hats, masks, watches, gloves, gems, rings, piercings, fiber, yarns, weaves, leather, lace, production, etc.

The visuals are beautifully done, graphs are informative and to the point, the little fun facts scattered throughout are charming and the book itself is probably the highest quality I own.

Not actually a long read-just over 300 pages and the majority is visual. My read time is a bit misleading: basically scattered across 2 actual days of reading.

Overall, perfectly happy with this and will probably go back to it a lot as I get more involved in making clothing.

Great work, no notes.

I am a home sewist, and this is the perfect resource for inspiration and informing next makes. It is not essential as I am not in the fashion industry, however it is a lovely book to have that is well presented and the images of different style lines are very helpful when considering drafting, pattern hacking, or just searching for patterns with interesting details.

Great reference book for styles in pretty much every article of apparel, hair styles, footwear, accessories, fabric, etc. Also has world history of fashion styles of the 20th century. Love this book. Great for people working in costume or fashion design.

Buen libro para iniciarse en la teoría del mundo del diseño de modas, se explica de manera muy clara y gráfica lo más importante como son tipos de prendas, textiles, siluetas, etc., y contiene algunos tips de maquillaje y arreglo personal.

I bought this book for character design reference initially, but I consider it responsible for my foray into clothes. This gave me the language to look for exactly what I wanted, and how I want it. If you make or work with clothes, this is probably useful for the intended purpose, too.

It is a very good guide for us, the fashion designers but it has a disadvantage. In flat templates/techical scetches it doesn't have the back. In other books tgey have it

If you have even a slight knowledge of fashion, this book is not for you. Do not be fooled, there is nothing in the book, which would earn implying it has something to do with dictionary. I was utterly disappointed about the quality of the content. From annotation: "It encompasses rich, extensive information and yet is easy to read." It sure is easy to read, because it's basically coloring book. From all 300+ pages, I found around 10 pages, which did have useful information.

کتاب خوب و جامعیه. من چاپ اولش رو دارم که متاسفانه مشکلات ویرایشی داره. امیدوارم توی چاپ‌های بعدی اصلاح شده باشه.
