OTIS COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGNConcise, well presented, easy to comprehend. It's a fabulous book. I am redesigning our curriculum around this book

OTIS COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGNIt is succinct. This book has information that students really need and is presented without too many technical details that can overwhelm the beginner student. The layering of fabrics and lack of color allows students to easily compare structures and fibers. The photos are modern and are fashion forward.
