About the book >.>.> The creative process for fashion designers does not pursue a set routine or course. Designers have their own methods and idiosyncrasies that determine their working process. Fashion Designers’ Sketchbooks celebrates how designers transform two-dimensional ideas into three-dimensional outcomes. From conception to completion from first inspirations to catwalk collections all is captured in these unique creative and captivating sketchbooks. “Curiosity is the most important thing’ to initiate a design process believes John Galliano. ‘I think you have to be curious and have the courage of your own convictions. I start with research and from there I build the use the idea tell a story and develop a character a look and then a collection.’ As an expert in narration Galliano is renowned for his storytelling. His inspirational global research trips produce beautiful research books and Galliano believes the creative journey is integral to the essence of his work. I always like there to be a bit of a story to each collection’ admits Peter Jensen who uses a sketchbook to develop his fictional characters or muse for his collections. Richard Nicoll endorses the value of research ‘It is very important it defines and reflects the themes of the collection’ while Deryck Walker identifies his perception of research: ‘It can be a word a picture or twenty pictures it’s whatever opens your head and gets you.” Antonio Marras creative director of Kenzo believes inspiration can be taken from everything. objects images stories and pieces of cloth.
