In this comprehensive guide to creating a fashion portfolio, Linda Tain helps prepare designers as they begin their fashion design careers in women s, men s, children s and accessories markets and how to create portfolios for each market. Those already working in the industry or wishing to reenter the job market will also appreciate her recommendations for revising or recreating their portfolios. Each chapter highlights essential skills and techniques to help designers become competitive within their chosen markets. By focusing on both logical and creative solutions, the designer becomes aware of the process of developing the portfolio from concept through presentation of the finished product.
A great reference book for those considering fashion design or fashion illustration as a carreer. Also, not entirely a waste for those who thought they wanted to be a designer, but actually want to be a fashion journalist instead.
