Advanced Creative Draping teaches designers and students how to drape fashion-forward, conceptual designs that use elements of couture construction to elevate the work to the highest level of fashion.
Five methods of draping are explored as well as draping using embellishments or particular surface designs. The final chapter demonstrates how to create a high quality heirloom garment.
Featuring specially commissioned step-by-step photography, the book includes tips from designers working with draping methods today. Essentially an advanced textbook for the serious fashion student, it also serves as a workroom reference book for professional fashion and costume designers.

Press reviews
KATIE ROE – LEEDS ARTS UNIVERSITY
This book is helpful to those who are focusing on draping and who want to push themselves further. The step-by step guide allows for students to independently learn and experiment, and the book includes a versatile range of garments/styles - it also includes details/trims and embellishments which is helpful for students to visually see how they can explore designs on the stand beyond the silhouette. This book would also be great for students working on their final collections - since some of the drapes are more advanced yet have clear step by step guides. KATIE ROE - LEEDS ARTS UNIVERSITY

BASHIR ASWAT - UNIVERSITY OF SALFORD
This book is well written and user-friendly for students. It's beneficial for developing their draping skills further with really instructions and methods. We will be highly recommending this publication to our undergraduate students. The previous draping books by the same author all already on our recommended module lists.
