Drawing for Fashion was born from a longstanding collaboration between the Faculties of Architecture and Humanities at Sapienza University of Rome. In an interdisciplinary field like fashion, drawing emerges as an essential tool for observing, analyzing, and creating. The volume documents the integration of drawing into the degree programs in Fashion and Costume Sciences and Fashion Studies, offering students tools to develop aesthetic vision and representational skills. It gathers drawings, reflections, and testimonies from a teaching approach based on seeing and making, where the pencil becomes a critical and creative instrument, capable of interpreting the past, engaging with the present, and imagining new scenarios. A publication that serves as both archive and manifesto, paying tribute to the beauty of drawing and the strength of academic collaboration.
