    Walk the LineTe Art o DrawingMarc Valli and Ana Ibarra

    Drawing has always been a undamental skill andgood drawing skills allowed artists to grasp thereality around them. At the turn o the millennium,however, the general impression was that with the wideavailability o computers, scanners, digital camerasand image sofware, drawing would dwindle into amarginal activity. In act, the opposite happened: theenthusiasm or digital imagery died down and theability to draw has become a treasured skill.

    In the art world, attitudes to drawing have alsochanged. Drawing became a way o making astatement as an artist, o showing masterly skill something that up to then had been most commonlyassociated with painting. Afer centuries in the shadowo its more illustrious fine art relatives, drawing startedto be appreciated or its own sake, as an art discipline,an end in itsel, an art orm.

    Walk the Line: The Art of Drawingincludesinterviews with the international selection o artists, as

    well as examples o their work. It will appeal to anyoneinterested in contemporary art and illustration.

    Marc Valli is the co-ounder o retail and book-selling company

    Magma in the UK, and o visual art magazines Graphicand

    Elephant. He is the author o RGB(Reviewing Graphics in Britain)

    and co-author o Microworlds(Laurence King).

    Ana Ibarra graduated in Philosophy in Spain, where she was born.

    She came to London to study Product Design. She is currently one o

    the editors o Elephantmagazine.

    10 PATTERNCUTTING INCONTEMPORARY MENSWEAR 11

    Modernpatterncutting developedwiththe industrialisation

    ofsewingand the development ofmechanicalprocesses.

    Fromthe start ofthe IndustrialRevolutiontechnologydefined

    the waythe clothingindustrydeveloped.Crafts menand

    womeninventedlabour-savingdevices to increase production.

    As the culturaltrendtowards uniformitygathered pace,

    the demandfor standardisedclothingbeganto outstrip

    supply.Replicationwas neededandtemplates (patterns)for

    gentlemens clothes beganto be produced.Initial attempts

    resultedinpoorly fittinggarments;the sizingofpatterns would

    take considerable experimentationbefore arecognisedsizing

    systemwas achievedthroughthe use ofthe newlyconceived

    1-yardmeasurement tape.Laidout ininches, this gave tailors

    aregulated toolto recordhumandimensions.Fromt hese

    observations amathematicaldraftingsystem was conceived,

    whichwas basedonthe principles ofgeometry and

    anatomicalproportions.

    Inthe first halfofthe nineteenth centurynumerous technical

    publications appearedto support the new draftingtechnique:

    The Improved Tailors ArtbyJ.Jacksons (1829) Science

    Completed inthe Art ofCutting byW.Walker (1839)and

    A PracticalGuide for the Tailors Cutting-Room byJ.Coutts.

    It was duringthis period,particularlyin France,that technical

    trainingwas established;ElisaLemonnier openedone ofthe

    first professionalschools inParis to offer cuttingandtailoring

    amongits courses.Alongwiththe demandfor cheaper

    clothing,in1860 the first mail order fashioncatalogues to

    publishpaper patterns appeared;the latest styles couldbe

    bought bythe middle and workingclasses throughout Europe

    andthe US,bringingt he abilityto produce cheaper clothing

    to awider audience andcreatingaforerunner ofthe ready-to-

    wear genre.

    At the beginningofthe twentiethcenturythe craft oftailoring

    beganto divide into specialisms designer,patterncutter

    andseamstress.It is aworkingmodel that has survivedto the

    present day,replicatedinfashionhouses andgarment factories

    allover the world.Mass productionbrought duplicationand

    the development ofstandardsizes but fit was stillofcrucial

    importance throughout the first halfofthe last century.

    Althoughclothingwas pre-constructed,the discerning

    gentlemanwouldhave it adaptedto the sartorial fashions of

    his day.Alterations were made andsilhouettes tailoredthrough

    subtle changes to the cut,line or proportionofthe garment.

    The process ofstandardisationwas thenspeededup bythe

    onset ofthe two WorldWars,whenstandardisedpatterns

    andsize charts were neededto produce militaryuniforms for

    bothofficers andinfantryalike.Clothing the armygave the

    garment industryanopportunityto review its procedures and

    attitudes towards sizingandconstruction,a ndthis resultedin

    the formationofnational registeredorganisations to regulate

    clothingproduction.

    Awayfromthe austerityof war,socialhierarchystill demanded

    that agentlemans wardrobe shouldhave multiple dress

    options,eventhougha new erawas dawningas the gender-

    role ideologies ofthe pre-war periodwere vanquishedand

    modernismwas embraced.The 1950s brought a new approach

    to male dress,championedby ayounger generationwho

    rebelledagainst the constraints oftradition.Withthe growing

    influence ofAmerican youthcultures,formal attire withits stiff

    silhouettes beganto lose its appeal.New modes ofinformal

    dressingappearedthroughout towns andcities across Europe

    andAmerica.Me nswear producers respondedto the growthin

    consumerismandthis new attitude byimportingor recreating

    foreignstyles associatedwithmusic,film or leisure activities

    (Italiantailoring,US varsity,Germansportswear).Relaxed

    attitudes towards life brought anew directionfor mens fashion

    assistedbytechnologicaladvances in textiles andthe uses of

    synthetic materials to create easy-wear,functionalclothing.

    STRATEGIC THINKING FOR ADVERTISING CREATIVES 1312 INTRODUCTION

    A strong strategy

    is the key

    Advertising basedon astrong, flexible strategywill always helpa brandto stand

    outandmake it sparkle, whateverthe medium. Te illustrious weeklypublication

    TeEconomist challengedthe non-readerto tryit.

    Consider the ad Still or sparkling?. Te award-winning campaign for

    Te Economisthas always stoodoutforits clarity, witandsimplicity; forachieving

    its objective with the minimumof words. Tis particularadran on the inside back

    coverof the Hardens guide to London restaurants in 2006. Its timeless. Itmakes

    you think, Yes I wantto be sparkling. In fact, I mustbe sparkling, orI might

    notgetpromoted! I hadbetterstartreading Te Economist this week.David

    Abbott,writerand one of the founders of London agencyAbbottMead Vickers

    BBDO, andart directorRon Brown, createdthis long-running campaign, which

    launchedin 1988with the now-famous poster: I neverreadTe Economist.

    Managementtrainee. Aged42. Te approach looks simple enough in hindsight

    butthen dontmostgreat ideas?

    Atthe time, itwas a riskystrategyto begin with this bold, negative statement. It

    takes you amomentto process the implication: thatthis person shouldbe reading

    TeEconomist. Te tone is both subtle andin your face. Yetitmanages to be

    quick to take in as a posterhas to be. Andit didntalienate existing, loyal

    readers. Afterall, if you putoff your currentmarket in an attemptto extendit,

    you couldeasilybe leftwith no one.

    Whatwas the initial insightbehindthis work? What kindof research led to the

    strategythat gave this campaign the springboardfor such consistentcreativity,

    enabling itto run fora quarterof acentury in achanging financial andbusiness

    world, yetremain fresh, effective, distinctive?

    1 The message behindthis

    adfor TheEconomist takes afew

    seconds to sink in. Seemingly

    negative intone, it was abold,

    but successful adthat arose out

    of alarger strategy createdby

    Abbott MeadVickers BBDOfor

    the publication.

    2 This adfor TheEconomist

    ranonthe insi de back cover of

    Hardens 2006 guide to London

    restaurants. Part of along-

    running, wider campaign, the

    strongstrategy ensuredthat

    eachadcould be writtento fit its

    locationwhile buildingthe brand.

    M&C Saatchicreatedthe memorable campaign line, Te lastplace you wantto

    go, forDixons, ahigh streetretailer of audio-visual technologyin the UK. On the

    face of it the line sounds fairlyunpromising. Imagine yourself as the client,

    hearing thatline proposedto you atameeting. (Afterall, a proposition is just

    that an offerthatwill in some waybenefityou.)Without acreative brief, even
