About the Book



Finish the drawings in this super chic doodle book with glamorous runway-ready looks and creative head-turning fashions
There's no better way to express one's self than through fashion. Not getting-dressed-in-the-morning fashion -- but rather DIY (draw-it-yourself) personal designs! Color Me Couture allows anyone to tap into their inner fashionista by turning blank sketches into hip head-to-toe looks. Glamorous gowns, fierce shoes, gorgeous bags and sparkling accessories -- it has never been easier to create a trend-setting, one-of-a-kind collection. Color Me Couture captures high fashion with dozens of unique designs from France's early 20th century haute couture masters to today's avant-garde New York elite. The book offers an entertaining crash course in fashion history, combining fascinating fashion facts with the chance to draw, doodle and color a whole new design. Learn how to draw everything from 1920's drop-waist dresses, over-sized sunglasses and extravagant heels to eye-catching jewelry, luxurious handbags and stunning hats, turning each runway sketch into an innovative masterpiece.



Book 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.
