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

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

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.

Understanding strategy
helps to sell your idea
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
an agencywith a track recordas impressive as M&C Saatchis wouldhave a
