What Is Fashion Illustration?
Everything in fashion begins with an idea. The next step is to do

an illustration or drawing of the idea to see if it is a flattering
style and if it is in balance. My favorites are fashion illustrations
which are the artistic representations of garment or apparel
designs.
Often times a fashion illustrator sells the unique art work or

turns it into a print that can be shown in a magazine or gallery.
Not all garments that have been illustrated are actually made
into garments that can be worn. A good illustrator becomes
known for their connection to style and beauty.
A good example of fashion illustration is one where the

garments are the main focus and are clearly illustrated. This will
determine if the pattern making process can be done or not.
The fashion illustration is an unique art by itself. You need to
strike a balance between the whole drawing and the details of
the garment. Sometimes you just want the illustration without
any further steps.
Many illustrators work with a variety of materials including

pencil, pen and ink, charcoal and watercolor. The best
illustrators have captured the likeness with just a few lines and
those who have the ability to do that have had long careers
with the major fashion houses and top magazines and
designers.
Fashion illustrators contribute illustrations to fashion

magazines, television commercials, product packages and
labels, t-shirts, and textile designs. You will also find illustrators
combining hand-drawn and computer-based imagery, some
work happily across a variety of visual mediums, from fine art
painting to fashion and textile, as well as pure illustration for
the editorial and advertising markets.
After the 60's many new illustrators began working on the

computer and we have a new way to look at and enjoy fashion
illustration.
Sometimes the drawings are just not able to be made into

patterns that can be cut and constructed so just the hint of the
garment is what is appealing to the eye and what makes the
illustrators so important in the fashion industry.
If you do want to actually have a garment that you can illustrate

and take through the entire process from pattern making to
finished garment you will want to pay particular attention to
how you are doing the illustrations.
