What is the difference between fashion illustration and fashion design? Just open a fashion magazine, and beautiful photographs appear in front of us. but

A hundred years ago, fashion magazines presented us with the fashion style at that time in the form of illustrations from the cover to the inside page.

It was not until 1932 that the first full-color photographic cover appeared in Vogue, that is to say, before that, the pictures in fashion magazines were all sketched by illustrators with brushes.

therefore

Fashion illustration is often to draw clothes that have been designed.

Fashion illustrators all have their own creative styles, and the same clothes and different illustrators describe different effects.

Today, with the development of photography technology, we seldom have the opportunity to see fashion illustrations.

This year's May issue of Vogue in China has a special topic on "Fashion Illustration", and interviewed JackyMarshall, a fashion illustrator. In the 1990s, Jackie worked as a designer for brands such as CK and DKNY. Later, he resolutely turned to illustration and became the leader of fashion illustration in the social media era.

Fashion illustration is an art form. Although it is not the mainstream in the fashion field, due to the development of the Internet and the rise of social platforms, the works of fashion illustrators have more opportunities to be displayed and seen by more people.

Nowadays, fashion illustrations are no longer published in magazines to explain fashion styles to people, and can be created more casually and casually.

If you love fashion and painting, it is a good choice to combine them to create. Be a freelance fashion illustrator and publish your works on social platforms. I believe your talents will be recognized.

Fashion design is more complicated than fashion illustration, and it is also related to painting.

Fashion designer at

When designing clothes, you will first present your ideas on paper with a brush, that is, design sketches.

The design sketch serves the next design process.

It doesn't need to be as elegant and standardized as fashion illustrations, and it can even be somewhat abstract. The key point is to show the design points.

Of course, there are also some beautifully drawn sketches.

After designing the sketch, there are a series of complicated processes, such as cutting, printing and making sample clothes. In this process, it needs to be discussed with relevant departments and revised repeatedly before it can be put into clothing production.

The basis of the above work is to master a lot of professional knowledge, and it is difficult for laymen to imagine the complexity of the designer's work.

Clothing design is the designer's design of clothing, and drawing his own design ideas on paper in color, that is, clothing renderings, is an effect display and expectation before making clothing.

Fashion illustration is developed on the basis of fashion renderings. Most of the earliest illustrations appeared in fashionable appearance manuals. Compared with photography, which can show any fantasy in color and black and white, fashion illustration is more like an impromptu way to describe fashion. As JeanPhilippeDelhomme, a famous French illustrator, said, fashion illustration is more like an art close to "street poetry".

The hottest fashion illustrator of our time! How is it made? He is the hottest illustrator.

It is also the best spokesperson for fashion.
