My lovely friend and colleague, Frances Vereker, and I co-wrote a book on Adobe Illustrator for the fashion Industry. We have made this available for your reference:

"Fashion Designers’s Handbook for Adobe Illustrator"– Marianne Centner & Frances Vereker (2011)

It is out of print now, but still very relevant for an Illustrator beginner! It is a great beginner’s guide as it leads you through the most basic set up, introduces you to the most used tools as well as detailed guidance on how to use the pen tool.
