Favourite fashion design books

If you’ve struggled with the traditional format of knitting patterns, Knitstrips was made for you! This book review tells you why.

Two of the best fashion design books I own, with invaluable information about the elements and principles of design as applied to fashion or clothing.

Another formative influence. I learnt about the elements and principles of design whilst studying, but it took several years for me to track down the source. The quantity of exercises and interdisciplinary nature of this book make it a must-read for me.

I love the empathetic focus on humanity, and designing products and systems that work for the people using them, not the other way around.
