A look inside: The International Fashionista's Lookbook Diary

It's already been over a month since we (myself and Dana Lardner of Howintheworld.org) released The International Fashionista Lookbook Diary!  It was amazing finally getting to see all of our work come together and It's been really exciting hearing all the wonderful feedback.

My previous post was all about the process of creating the illustrations and characters for the book. This time I'm showing the final print! 

 

  

 

 

Pictured above is the front cover of The International Fashionista's Lookbook Diary. We went with a softcover, paperback design because it was really important to us that the book be lightweight and something a girl could toss in her backpack and carry around.

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

The lookbook introduces 10 fashionistas from all over the world featured on individual coloring pages.

For each of the ten countries there's an interactive tidbit page with some fun facts a jet-setting fashionista should learn before visiting.

This lookbook diary stays true to its title and is full of design prompts to get our fashionsta dreaming.

There are loads of spaces for the girl to draw in her own design and ideas.

The International Fashionista's Lookbook Diary write up from Howintheworld.org:
