Review

"Samantha brings her impeccable esthetic, talent, and grace to this gorgeous fashion design and illustration book. It's practical, easy to use, beautiful, and wonderfully written. I adore it and its author." - Serena Valentino, comic book author

About the Author

Samantha Crossland, who runs her eponymous label as Samantha Rei, began her design career with her label "Blasphemina's Closet" in 2000. After closing "Blasphemina's Closet" in September of 2013, she started anew with Samantha Rei, which embodies the sweetness and femininity that has come to be expected from the designer. Samantha attended the Perpich Center for Arts Education in Golden Valley, Minnesota, choosing to hone her skills as an illustrator and painter so she could pursue comic book art. After graduating in 1999, she spent a year at the College of Visual Arts (CoVA) in Saint Paul to major in illustration and then continued her education at the Minneapolis Community and Technical College for Apparel Technologies. Samantha has been featured in numerous publications, including the Star Tribune, L'etoile Magazine, Cloud Orchid Magazine(Steampunk issue), New York Times, and Maxim. Samantha Rei is now a contestant on season 16 of Project Runway.

I have really enjoyed this book. I was interested in the designing aspect of various outfits and found this book to be very helpful. It includes good instructions and diagrams. The information about the use of color was interesting as was the history of steampunk. I would definitely recommend this book.

I am new to Steampunk and just received this book. There is information about the artistic movement of Steampunk and other alternative fashions, the historical inspirations, basic supplies, techniques and design ideas. I am going to enjoy learning about this design and creating some of my own fashions inspired by this book. If you are a beginner or new to this design, this is a book for you.

I love this book, great for designing outfits for steampunk or even historical. Starts with drawing the mannequin, then its broken down into different types of steampunk outfits then different items of clothing.
