HOW TO BE A LINGERIE DESIGNER With step-by-step guidance along the way, the book is written so when you finish, you are not only inspired but have all the practical advice to get started. “I’ve been designing for over twenty years, have worked for UK high streets, launched my own brand (in bigger cups) overseas and into high street stores. I have also been sponsored to work abroad designing. I believe lingerie should not only look beautiful but have function, and I like to teach all the technical aspects of lingerie design for you to understand.” And it’s not only my voice you hear in this book, I have included interviews from professionals in their area of expertise. This book is broken down into ten chapters with exercises that you can complete throughout the book so you have a clear understanding what you need to do for your lingerie designs and brand.
