MODERN FASHION ILLUSTRATION AND DESIGN

THE ORIGIN OF FASHION ILLUSTRATION

Fashion Illustration has been around for nearly 500 years. Ever since clothes have been in existence and there was a need to translate an idea or image into a garment there has been a need for fashion illustration. Not only do fashion illustrations show a representation or design of a garment but also served as a form of art. Fashion illustration shows the presence of hand and is said to be a visual luxury.
More recently, there has been a decline of fashion illustration in the late 1930s when Vogue began to replace its celebrated illustrated covers with photographic images.

I DID'T REALLY KNOW ABOUT FASHION ILLUSTRATION, I'VE ALWAYS SEEN IT BUT NEVER REALLY GAVE IT MUCH ATTENTION, AS TO SAY IT IS CURRENTLY MY OBSESSION...CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF ALL IT HAS TO OFFER..........
IT'S ALSO A MIXTURE OF ART SO  YEAH IT EXPLAINS WHY I CAN'T GET ENOUGH:)
