What is fashion illustration?
Fashion illustration is the communication of fashion that originates with illustration, drawing and painting. It is usually commisioned 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. 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.

Bec Winnel: Bec Winnel is a fashion illustrator who creates soft illustrations which show emotion. She works using a pale colour pallet and crates illustrarions by building and blending delicate and detailed layers of colour pencil, pastel and and graphite. She works as a full time designer and part time as an exhibiting artist and commercial illustrator. I like this fashion illustrsator because of the way she uses pale and pastel colours which gives the illustrations a realistic look.

Katharine Asher: Katharine Asher works as a freelance issustrator and designer, specialising in figurative work and focussed on her traditional drawing skills and the ability to work in 3D. She uses this skill as the backbone of her work and uses a wide variety of commercial sources from publishing and advertising to film. I like the way that this illustrator uses light scribbles in her illustrations to give effect.
Nuno Da Costa: Nuno Da Costa is a self taught fashion illustrator specialising in fashion and beauty imagery. Her illustrations fall in to 2 cagegories mainly: Colour and Black and White brush work. They are hand drawn and a brushed with water colours and then scanned, retouched and painted in photoshop. I particularly like the way the illustrations look sophisticated and elegant.

Steve Pattison: Steve Pattison creates illustrations which are both modern and unique in their own approach. The illustrations are centred around an aggressive use of line and colour, mixed with strong graphic overtones and unusal use of composition. He creates his illustrations combining modern and traditional methods by using pencil, ink, ink wash, spraypaint and stencil which is then finished in Photoshop. I like the way the illustrations have a graffiti style sense about them.
