- "If all art was once contemporary, were all clothes once fashionable?"
- "If fashion is ephemeral and superficial, what does that say about us? Like clothes, we fade and decay. Are we too just another type of ephemera or are we more than that?
- "To those who deride the importance of fashion, I always ask, if clothing is so unimportant and transient, why is it so much easier to identify a nation by its national dress than by its national flag?"

1.FASHION DESIGNERS' SKETCHBOOKS
14th September 2014
Any of you fashion fanatics looking for an inspiration for your illustrations?
There's something incredibly personal about looking through designer's
sketches; almost like a diary of some sort. Every curve, every line, every
single detail is a representation of the designer's signature style and just
flicking through this book made me feel like I was holding onto a little piece
of their exclusive collection. Perhaps it was just the sense of tangibility,
but I really enjoyed looking through this book! If you have some spare
time and perhaps a library or bookstore (or even an Ebay
account) handy, definitely check out Fashion Designers' Sketchbooks!
