About this title

Synopsis

Practice creating exquisite couture designs with this fashion sketchbook containing lightly drawn figure templates and historical, famous dresses.

Are you ready to design? Color Me Couture turns the last one hundred years of high fashion into your own personal design studio. Learn about the cuts, patterns and fabrics of the world’s finest couture dresses and gowns from the most famous fashion designers...and then entirely reinvent them on your own.

On one page of each spread in the book, you’ll find an elegantly finished garment inspired by fashion’s greatest icons, complete with its season, style and design notes. On the opposite page, it’s your turn to shine. Take inspiration from the original work and craft your own gorgeous couture design, complete with color and accessories. By the time you finish this book, you’ll be a fashion expert and a couture designer.
