9 Heads Media will be jointly releasing two new titles this Fall, 2006, entitled Colors for Modern Fashion and 9Heads3 by Nancy Riegelman. Letraset?s Tria Marker Collection includes 24 quality markers in a sleek black wallet designed for professional use and providing a full range of essential colors in fashion design and accompanies this version of CFMF and 9H3.
Fashion is universal in its impact, an inescapably central part of all our lives, not just of those who work with it everyday: Fashion?s influences on color, form and attitude are apparent in practically every aspect of the design of our modern industrial world. Colors for Modern Fashion and 9H3, while created primarily as rigorous and comprehensive tools for learning to draw (and hence design) modern fashion, are also both a unique guide for achieving a deep understanding of modern fashion itself?its aesthetics, its craftsmanship and its influences?as well as a stunning homage by one of the leading teachers and exponents of modern fashion drawing to modern fashion design, covering a broad cross-section of some of the finest garments of leading contemporary designers.
Colors for Modern Fashion is the first publication to realize the full potential of colored markers in fashion design. Markers are a medium that is convenient, versatile, and easy-to-learn and can achieve powerful effects of saturation, transparency and luminosity that make them ideal for producing accurate and realistic fashion drawings--and indeed designing fashion? quickly and easily and within the time-constraints often imposed by the modern fashion industry. CFMF is a step-by-step guide, accessible to relative beginners in fashion drawing through to those already at an advanced level who are honing specific skills and developing precise techniques. All the drawing techniques employed in CFMF are illustrated in great detail, often with explanatory breakdowns, and all the drawings are accompanied by clear and comprehensive textual explanations. With over 1,000 original drawings and full-color illustrations, CFMF features detailed sketches of the contemporary high-fashion garments of leading international designers, including Christian Lacroix, Roberto Cavalli, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Alexander McQueen, John Galliano, Stella McCartney, Dolce & Gabbana, Vivienne Westwood, Prada, Martin Margiela, Gucci, Armani, Yves Saint-Laurent, Yohji Yamamoto, Bernhard Wilhelm, Max Mara and others, and demonstrates how to draw garments made from a vast range of contemporary and traditional fabrics.
Fully harmonizing with CFMF, 9H3 is an excellent foundation for learning to draw fashion as well as an encyclopedic reference source on all types of garments and fashion details. 9H3 also contains a comprehensive treatment of how the ?9 heads? fashion figure?the croquis?is drawn in various perspectives?and vital additional information for styling fashion and fashion drawings, such as hairstyles and contemporary fashion poses. As well as teaching the female fashion figure and fashion, 9H3 is the most comprehensive reference work available for learning to draw men and children and their fashion as well as flats?the two-dimensional technical drawings that are the principal medium for communicating constructional information within the fashion industry.
For all those already in fashion school or the fashion industry, or those considering fashion as a career, CFMF and 9H3 form a comprehensive, self-contained auto-didactic course and archival case study in contemporary fashion drawing that will serve as an excellent introduction to the field. They also form a highly effective auto-didactic course in drawing itself, and will have much appeal for those whose tastes incline more to fashion and the figure than landscapes or portraits.
From CFMF?s stylishly mod color swatch cover design to its expressively beautiful images, and 9H3?s bounty of information, CFMF and 9H3 double as a fantastic conversational coffee table fashion resource and guide. Press please contact Workhouse Publicity, Anna De Souza.
