About this book
Learning a new discipline is similar to learning a new language; in order to master the foundation of fashion design, you must first master the basic building blocks of its language – the definitions, function, and usage. The Language of Fashion Design provides students and fashion designers with the basic elements of fashion design, divided into twenty-six easy-to-comprehend chapters. This visual reference includes an introductory, historical view of the elements, as well as an overview of how these elements can and have been used across multiple design disciplines.
Whether you're new to the field or have been a fashion designer for years, you'll want to flip through the pages of this book throughout your career and use it as the go-to reference for inspiration, ideas, and reminders of how a strong knowledge of the basics allows for meaningful, memorable, and beautiful fashion that extends beyond trends.
This comprehensive learning tool is the one book you'll want as a staple in your library.

Color,
despite
a
dry
dictionary
description,
is
very
difficult
to
separate
from
emotion.
We
can
discuss
its
theory
and
properties,
but
in
the
end
what
it
conveys
to
us
is
emotional
not
technical.

Designer
Isabel
Toledo
sums
it
up
well
when
she
says
she
is
not
visual
and
that
her
use
of
color
is
entirely
emotional.
The
appearance
of
a
color
is
always,
in
fact,
affected
by
the
colors
it
is
viewed
with.
We
experience
colors
relatively.
For
example,
colors
directly
opposite
one
another
on
the
wheel
are
called
complementary
colors.
They
naturally
intensify
each
other.
