fashion

9 heads starts as a very professional teaching book with all the details needed for a design student who wants to learn more about fashion illustration. towards the end of the beautiful designed book itself comes the big plus: the examples of some of the finest and famous fashion designers worldwide, like the great christian lacroix or the new star bernhard willhelm. both represented with their fashion and their truly originally illustrations. the book is a great guide to get as good as them. not only is every way you can draw/see an eye, a hand, the body, the draping of the material, the light on clothes and many more important and helpful details presented - there are also fascinating interviews to be found.

I found this book beautifully designed and rich in information.
After a long search for books that demonstrated contemporary fashion, 9 Heads is the only book available. It is a guide for people who are interested in fashion, both beginning and advanced, and the illustrations are fantastic. I especially loved the interviews with designers and artists, and there is no other book available which incorporates technical flats.

This is ALMOST the Bible of Fashion Design, save for the fact that it does not show you how to draw men's, juniors, children's, or infant's clothing. This is a must have in anyone's collection, but upon having Ms. Riegleman as a teacher I must warn the reader not to adopt the style in the book as their own but to use the book as a means to develop their own personal style.
