FASHION ILLUSTRATIONS
“Fashion Illustration is the art of
communicating fashion ideas in a visual form that
originates with illustration, drawing and painting
and also known as Fashion sketching.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fashion_illustration
WHAT IS ‘FASHION ILLUSTRATION’?
“Fashion Illustration is the communication of fashion that originates with illustration, drawing and painting. An illustrator
draws and paints clothes for commercial use. It is usually commissioned for reproduction in fashion magazines as one
part of an editorial feature or for the purpose of advertising and promoting fashion makers, fashion boutiques and
department stores. A fashion illustrator is someone who creates drawings, sketches, and other works of art which pertain to the
fashion industry.”

AND ANOTHER DEFINITION:
So basically, a fashion illustration is a drawing
that shows any aspect of fashion, including
accessories.
