How To Be A Fashion Designer

Draw and colour creations, choose materials, and learn to design through drawing your own fashion. Whether your child wants to design the next big outfit for London fashion week, or they just want to learn about textiles and fabrics, How to be a Fashion Designer helps kids enjoy experimenting with new ideas.

Bright illustrations mixed with fun photography show kids how to choose gorgeous colours, design dress shapes, customise t-shirts, and add sparkle to their accessories using simple, easy-to-follow design tasks and practical projects.

Using inspiration from the natural world, everyday life, and their own imagination, children can design outfits from scratch and learn how to put together the clothes and accessories they already own in fun, stylish ways. This nonfiction fashion book for children is perfect for 7-9 year olds and brings a unique approach to STEAM learning by combining art and design with practical, hands-on making.
