This title presents the work of some of the top international illustrators from 26 countries and organizes it into three styles. Some are sensualists who work in ink or acrylic, using brushstrokes, layered colour,and textured papers and paints. Others focus on characters: gamine girls with eyes a la Twiggy; or sophisticated elegant figures who carry on the tradition of the 50s diva. Also included in the book is the work of "technocrats" - designers who work on the computer - as well as work from artists' private collections, and international fashion magazines. This work is designed to be a reference guide for media and fashion industry professionals and a textbook for students.

Stylishly Drawn: Contemporary Fashion Illustration

Harry N. Abrams

Fashion illustration is hot. More and more, the most arresting visual images seen today are not photographed, they are stylishly drawn. This smart, sophisticated, trendsetting book showcases the work of 29 of the world's top fashion illustrators, an international galaxy of talent whose evocative illustrations often seem to define what is hip and contemporary. The artists, who include Ruben Alterio, Mats Gustafson, Jean-Philippe Delhomme, and Jeffrey Fulvimari (the illustrator of Madonna's The English Roses"), are divided stylistically into three groups: Sensualists (who work in the fine arts tradition with paint, ink, woodblocks, and stencils, and who concentrate as much on the process of illustration as the subject); Gamines &amp; Sophisticates (whose work is figurative and who use caricature and cartooning to create characters and comment on behavior); and Technocrats (those wizards of computer-generated art who are exploring the limits of illustration's newest frontier). Together, these illustrators are revitalizing the marriage of art and fashion in the new millennium.

The photograph has long been the medium of fashion, but contemporary illustration is transforming how the industry is presented. Fashion Illustration Next presents the work of nearly forty artists from around the world whose work is changing the way we see fashion, free of model worship and the cult of the photographer. Though it is no shock that the new generation of illustrators makes abundant use of digital media and techniques, the surprising array of results -- from high-sheen artifice to fantasy collage to work that looks like "old school" pen-and-ink -- represents a rich confluence of styles. More than 200 examples of this cutting-edge work convey a host of moods reflecting the state of the modern world as much as that of the fashion industry, and revealing a tendency toward the erotic, fantastic, introspective, and sometimes sinister. Fashion Illustration Next is the collision of fashion and vision.
