Synopses & Reviews
Paris Sketchbook is a stunning gift book from leading international fashion illustrator Jason Brooks. Although he is best known for his beautiful fashion imagery, which has regularly graced the pages of
Vogue and
Elle magazines, travel has been a recurrent theme in his work and his adventures continue to inspire and inform his visual repertoire.
This book is a whimsical take on Paris, part guide book, part illustrated journal, it will appeal to both travelers and fashionistas. Sumptuous production with different stocks and inks will make this a must for anyone who loves fashion illustration and beautiful books.
