Inhaltsangabe

When fashion designers draw the human body they need to capture its movement and also take into account how it responds to fabrics and volumes. This book analyses the most useful techniques for drawing the human figure in the context of fashion design. It offers in-depth explanatory texts and illustrations that will help to nurture a full comprehension of this type of figure drawing. Fashion Drawing Course is divided into two parts, focusing first on the human body and then on clothing. This work is not a compendium of human anatomy. It makes a throughout study of the dressed and dynamic human body. Besides, this title provides designers with some specific vocabulary. For this reason the vocabulary can be slightly lexis. However, the author tries to be as clear and direct as possible because he addresses to beginners. The main chapters of the book: 1) Structure; 2) Musculature; 3) Proportional Variation; 4) Volumetric synthesis; 5) Head and Face; 6) Drawing apparel Modedesigner müssen den Körper in Bewegung zeichnen können und dabei gleichzeitig die Beziehung zwischen dem menschlichen Körper, den Materialien und der Form der Kleidung im Auge behalten. Modedesigner müssen dabei auch lernen, die Entwürfe, die sie in Sinn haben, dreidimensional zu denken. Fashion Drawing Course will Designern lehren, den menschlichen Körper zu verstehen und zu zeichnen. Mit der Methode des Autors des Buches, Juan Baeza, soll der fortgeschrittene Modedesignstudent sowohl lernen, die dynamische menschliche Figur zu zeichnen als auch, wenn er Anfänger ist, das nötige technisches Vokabular. So enthält das Buch im ersten Teil, außer den Zeichnungen und Schemata, viele Teil- und Ganzkörperfotographien, wie auch die Namen von Muskeln und Knochen. Im zweiten Teil erklärt Baeza das Zeichnen der Kleidung selbst (der Faser, des Garns, des Gewebes und Drucks) und den Gebrauch von Linien zur Darstellung der auf die Kleidung durch Bewegung einwirkende Kräfte, durch die der Schnitt und die besonderen Eigenschaften des Materials, Falten, Farbenkontrast, Texturen, grafische Ausgestaltung zum Tragen kommen.

It is the interesting approach taken by Juan Baeza, which stems from his background and experience in teaching the drawing of the human figure, that makes this book an extremely useful tool for designers.

Beyond fashion trends, society nowadays is more individualistic, and contemporary creativity is based on the freedom of recombining. In this context, what stands out is the importance of independent design, which is characterized by offering solutions based on a personal style and inspiration, without following the trends that are imposed from the fashion production centres. Each discipline serves the particular needs of its subject of study. In clothing and textiles, proximity to the body demands a special way of working. Clothes are designed to be displayed using the body and, therefore, must respect the body's topology and the movements and twists it makes. The value of a designer is mainly measured by the sum of his or her ability to understand the idea behind the object and his or her ability to design—that is, his or her ability to translate that idea into reality.

From the foreword by Susana Saulquin, former Course Director of the Fashion and Textile Design Department, Faculty of Design and Architecture, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
