What do you need to know about fashion illustration

Mariana Medeiros Seixas

Fashion Illustration can be defined by the fashion drawings that designers creates to represent the clothes they intend to do, creating the right atmosphere and necessary lines to well illustrate the garments, or can be defined by a kind of artistic illustration, fashion inspired, which will represent trends or cover glossy magazines or advertisement campaigns.
The most important thing on both it’s about the singularity of the lines and the unique proportion that will be enlaced by the artist who made it and always be directed to him. As in any sort of art, fashion illustration asks for proportion, even if the idea is not having any proportion, glam, lines, colors and different ways to represent clothes that’s runs away from obvious.

Laura Laine is one of the highlights on fashion illustration. She has a unique style and despite of working with perfect lines, her work have a personal and stylish accent. Laine has already made ad campaigns for Tommy Hilfiger and Chanel and filled many known magazines.
