Menswear Illustration

This book is the first up-to-the-minute survey of contemporary menswear illustration, which is booming across editorial, advertising and brand communications. The author Richard Kilroy is a top menswear illustrator in his own right and has brought together forty of the most versatile creative talents from around the world. From the exuberant street sketches of Richard Haines, drawn then and there on the streets of New York, to the delicate drawings of Cédric Rivrain for Lanvin, or the bold graphic approach of Donald Urquhart, these groundbreaking talents are expanding our perceptions of the modern man. Whether drawn in pencil, splashed across a sketchbook or digitally rendered, the work is as varied in style as the clothing itself. All fashion industry insiders and students – particularly designers – editorial staff, illustrators and photographers will find inspiration and illumination on this book’s pages.
