If you look on my book shelf you will find several publications from fashion writer Hywel Davies. He is the author of several useful books such as ‘Modern Menswear’, ‘100 New Fashion Designers’ and ‘British Fashion Designers’, all published by Laurence King. Hywel Davies’ latest book ‘Fashion Designers Sketchbooks’ is a must for any budding designer or fashion enthusiast alike, exploring many major names working in the industry today like John Galliano, Antonio Marras, Aitor Throup, Dries van Nooten and many many more.

I bought this book because I want to be a good fashion designer one day, this is just a small investment. You can learn a lot of things from reading this book, I’ve even learned how to draw fashion sketches. Who would have ever guessed that’s possible!!! I also really love the way Davies explores the individual design process of different designers, from what inspires, to construction ideas and methods, to the final product. The images practically jump off the page, and will have you running your hands across nearly every page, I LIKE YOU.

I bought the ‘Fashion Designers Sketchbooks’ for only 40 Euros at bookstore MENDO.
