i heart fashion sketches

i've always loved the look of fashion sketches and how quickly a designer can whip one out.  like within seconds of an idea, a sharpie in hand and a crisp piece of white paper...they can create a specific design and you can actually see how the finished project will look!  the proportions are wacky but perfect at the same time....narrow hips and shoulders with legs for days.  some are very basic and "skeletal" looking and others are quite polished. 

one of my favorites to watch is isaac mizrahi.  you can watch him sketch on watch isaac.

here is some of his work:

this christmas, maybe i'll ask santa to bring me some framed sketches to decorate the walls around here.  ;)  or maybe i'll have a try at it...

getting my sharpie,
