Fashion Portfolio: Design and Presentation Kindle Edition by Anna Kiper (Batsford)

Just received this book and it's so amazing I want to share a video! The book is a great visual resource for fashion students, designers, absolute beginners, or any creative people who love art and glamour. This book is original, modern, and beautifully illustrated - literally bursting with gorgeous fashion photography and sketches in full color. The book is presenting a variety of cutting edge approaches on portfolio development, design process, illustration styles, and presentation.

I absolutely love the fact that this book features both traditional portfolio presentations created through fashion sketching as well as more avant-garde design developments generated through draping and textile manipulation. The book is very well organized, featuring most important industry specializations - knitwear, activewear, evening wear, and lingerie - with detailed examples and fashion vocabulary. The text is easy to understand and fun to read.

As a huge bonus this book has great menswear, children's wear and accessory sections with illustration styles and portfolio examples. Even a bigger bonus are the author's illustrations which I've been a big fan of since her first book "Fashion Illustration: Inspiration and technique" came out.
