Karl Lagerfeld once said, " Most of the things I create are seen while sleep. The best ideas are the most direct ideas, even without the brain, like a flash of lightning! Some people are afraid of the gaps, and some people are afraid of starting new projects, but I'm not."(Source: PClady) Karl Lagerfeld He worked together in Fendi50, over 50,000 sketches, and it was almost impossible to draw" fine and beautiful " manuscripts. Designers just need to show the design effect, and they don't need to have a very nice standard manuscript.
According to the words of Lafayette, we can see that the manuscripts of the masters are very casual. Their manuscripts generally record the inspiration of a moment. Many masters pay more attention to the presentation of clothes on the body, rather than the presentation of the drawings.

Because inspiration needs to be recorded quickly;
Because they only need to provide the overall concept of style, but not the standard plate-making renderings;
Because they also make perfect, although casual but can clearly convey the effect you want ~ this is the most important!
Second, as masters of fashion design ~ As design directors, they only need to grasp the general direction (theme color fabric profile), and give the other details to the designer and the designer to follow up.
The main work of the masters is mainly to put forward the concept and style of this season's clothes, so they only need the general image concept and the main materials. This kind of hand-drawn renderings, more practical and functional, only need to show the design effect, does not need to have a very beautiful standard manuscript.
For example, Yohji Yamamoto's manuscript focuses on the shape and meaning of Japanese Zen:
Black coat with red boots, with a strong Japanese Zen style of fashion ideas, through the women wear Yohji Yamamoto dress painted posture, showing a Zen and unique insights.
When the fashion industry is still showing the female curve with the traditional western tights, Yohji Yamamoto has the courage to break through the tradition, taking the kimono as the concept, with the effects of pendant, overlapping and winding, covering the female curve under the neutral clothing, creating a new wave of Japan in the fashion industry.
Yohji Yamamoto is known as the "king of tailoring" because he observes that "all design is derived from tailoring". He rarely paints the clothes first and then makes them according to the manuscripts, a pattern of costume design that does not exist with him.
This is also one reason why his manuscripts are so casual, mainly expressing the feeling, form and meaning, without paying attention to the detail of the desired style.
Third, the masters have profound skills, with a few strokes, they can achieve the vivid and clear structure of the general fabric want texture.
In fact, to achieve the position of design director, there is no need to draw a very detailed design director only needs to put forward a concept idea, give a sketch, and then with the help of the designer or board engineer to draw more detailed renderings , so practice makes perfect, they can draw very casually.
The final style drawing will be detailed to the location of stitches and other process. When the factory makes the drawing, it can see the drawing to understand how it should be sewn. Generally this kind of paper sample drawing is not leaked out. Not completely appropriate metaphor, just like a doctor prescribing a prescription, deliberate after a few strokes, you look confused, people catch the medicine but clearly.
Take Kawkubo for example, this is also a manuscript extremely casual figure.
As we all know, since the brand Comme des Garcons (like a boy) in 1973, She has stubbornly refused to explain her work —— " (my work) is 'meaningless'.”
Similarly, she refused to talk about her personal life. She has said bluntly: " The interest in every detail of the (private life) is shocking. In contrast, it is much better to know a person's work. The best way to get to know a singer is to listen to his songs. The best way to get to know me is to see my clothes.”
Designers' inspiration comes from imagination, and the uncertainty of imagination makes designers need to record their sudden ideas and inspiration in time.
It is not difficult to see from the costume manuscript designed by Kawkubo that she is a master who likes exaggerated modeling, strong color and three-dimensional silhouette, and has her own style. Although the manuscripts of these design masters seem very casual, they can reflect many popular trends and details, silhouette, color, fabric, style and other are clearly displayed in these sketches.
In the art field of fashion painting, you have to live never too old to learn and practice. There is no limit to learning, and there are always some unknown areas waiting for people to explore. In the course of your study, you can often feel that you have made some progress, and your lines are gradually becoming smoother and more vibrant.
The 1970s was the most brilliant stage of his art career, like fireworks, mondelly plaid skirt, following the Tsarist Russian royal style, all the way to the Oriental neighborhood.
His addiction to Oriental art made his works the first works reflecting the shadow of Morocco, China, Japan and Spain, and continuously designed the costume art and perfume full of Oriental mystery.
The Saint Laurent manuscript was even made into film, "Les dessins d'Yves Saint Laurent". And biographies of people, Yves Saint Laurent biography Yves Saint Laurent. The film also features his precious manuscripts. The scope of art is an important reason for leaving his name and works in the history of modern clothing. From the perspective of film, a master artist, who can become a remake in the history of film, is a tribute to a generation of great genius.
In short, as a master of costume design, he has become a master, master the rudder, and have a handy high-quality team. Natural manuscripts are more functional and personal design style, and do not need exquisite pictures. As for us, just take our time, first... Start with the fine work ~
