Overview

So you want to draw vintage fashion like a real designer? Which iconic looks from fashion history do you find inspirational – 1950s rockabilly style, the 1960s mini-skirt, the 1970s punk princess?

This drawing course for young fashionistas features interviews with top designers, including Anna Sui and Paul Smith. They talk about their favourite fashion looks, from the 1920s flapper to red-carpet Hollywood glamour. Step by step, you learn how to draw all kinds of vintage clothes and mix up influences and details to create your own exciting looks and collections.

How to draw Vintage Fashion is based on hands-on workshops and great exhibitions held at the Fashion and Textile Museum, London.
