All topics are considered and presented in context with fashion drawings and presentation formats - from students and recent graduates as well as more established design labels., Menswear is a term used to refer to how men dress as much as the style of dress worn by men. It is loaded with associations and meanings as well as simply being used to describe an appearance or seasonal look. Perhaps more than for women's fashions, menswear retains a sense of continuity and evolution that is borne out of a rich history of clothing styles and dress codes that have frequently been the product of defining a man's class, status, function and masculinity. In the 20th century, with the emergence of the rebellious youth market, menswear has come to embrace the notion of opposites between established views of male dress and more subversive expressions of dressing.Basics Fashion Design: Menswear offers a visually engaging and fresh perspective on this fascinating and subtly complex area of fashion. Through a series of sequenced chapters, the book provides a thorough introduction to the subject; it considers the historical and social evolution of menswear through the ages in an abridged history that considers the influence of court and mercantile dress styles, uniforms and military dress. Menswear's influence on womenswear is also considered as well as the sway of male style icons and their role in defining and redefining an 'ideal' or standard through social and increasingly media-orientated contexts such as music, film and sport.The book also considers the rich history and traditions of men's tailoring and the sometimes misunderstood male 'dandy' by comparing and contrasting the sartorial traditions of London's Savile Row and the 'British look' with the equally distinctive soft tailoring traditions from Italy and the all-American preppy look, all of which have become global style brands. Men's sportswear, along with the unparalleled impact of denim, are also considered as part of the story with illustrated images and interviews from a variety of labels and menswear designers. The often contradictory nature and underlying tensions that exist in modern menswear are explored and visually presented for consideration in relation to understanding how menswear is communicated in the 21st century, including the growing influence of the internet and blogosphere.The design processes for menswear are also covered, enabling readers to understand how themes, concepts and influences can be translated into credible sources of research for menswear design. This includes looking at how menswear ideas are drawn and illustrated for presentation formats as well as colour and fabric selections for creating first samples and presenting artwork in a menswear portfolio. The final chapter provides an exciting range of interviews with some contemporary and upcoming menswear designers and brands, which are richly illustrated and offer insightful and diverse perspectives on menswear's continuing evolution. With such a variety of inspirational imagery and insightful contributions from menswear specialists, this book is intended to stimulate the reader's interest in the subject and enhance appreciation for the many technologies and traditions that have their roots in menswear and continue to advance this area of fashion., Synopsis Basics Fashion Design 07: Menswear offers an updated perspective on the shifting and sometimes complex relationships that exist within this fascinating area of fashion.
