A fashion design tutorial by Daniela Bambatti, Versace's chief design illustrator, the book is an idea of couturier Favio Marconi who, impressed by her drawing style and the precision with which she captures the flow of fabric over the body, convinced her to put it into print so fashion students and fashion designers could profit from her mastery. In her tutorial, full of drawing and colouring tips, Bambatti reveals her fresh and innovative style, halfway between fashion sketching and illustration.
