Basics Fashion Design 01: Research and Design Reviews

A very useful sourcebook for both students and professionals. Breaks down the research and design process clearly, helping to understand the importance of relevant research for design. -- Pasqualina Iarrobino * De Montfort University, UK *
I LOVE this series of books. They are inspirational, affordable, and informative. I love the interviews with the various designers and others in the industry... Of course, not all students actually go out and buy the book but those that do are impressed and have gone out and gotten some of the others in the series. -- Alisa Caron * The Illinois Institute of Art - Chicago, USA *
Very useful and easy to understand book. Great visuals. Used as a resource for myself as a teacher and recommended to students to buy for themselves. Introduces students to design language that they can understand. -- Shelley Campton * Canberra Institute of Technology, Australia *
The book will be suitable for the following reasons: very good teaching tools for specific research and design tasks; clear and concise with easy to follow instructions; contemporary and innovative in approach and format. -- Marie Loney * Havering College of FE & HE, UK *
This book was very helpful on the topic of the research process in fashion design. Clearly and simply allows the student to know the importance of research and how to analyze and apply the information. The importance of materials and presentation. Great job! -- Joseve Munoz Islas, Universidad Anahuac, Mexico
