Fashion illustration is not only a vital skill for designers, but also a dynamic way for the general audience to communicate their ideas. Led by Dr. Kawai Lo, Lecturer at the School of Fashion and Textiles, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, you will learn to convey the style, material texture, and the intricate craftsmanship and character of couture pieces, all while surrounded by Guo Pei’s work in the Special Exhibition Guo Pei: Fashioning Imagination.
This hands-on workshop is ideal for both beginners and those with prior experience in illustration. Discover effective ways of capturing the essence of a piece during the gallery tour and take your sketches to the next level using mixed-media methods. At the end of the workshop, you will have your very own fashion illustration to take home—a memento from Guo Pei: Fashioning Imagination and a valuable skill to carry into your life.
