Description

Follow the process of a real fashion designer to create your own fashion collection. Find inspiration, make a mood board, collect and gather research, choose colours and a defining silhouette, experiment with fabrics, print and pattern, build a capsule selection of garments into a collection, and then create a lookbook to show off your new range. There are also spreads about preparing for the runway show, including hair and make-up. Finally, there's the high-street launch to consider. Before you start, sign the title page to make your own fashion-label logo.

Reviews

Cynthia Merhej's illustrations have a cheerful, hand-drawn appeal, and deserve kudos for depicting natural figures and varying body shapes as models. This hands-on title is likely to be a wildly popular gift idea, a lesson-plan resource for teachers, or an art club selection for middle grade girls.-- "School Library Journal"
