14. Fashion Illustration
Fashion Illustration is
the communication of
fashion that originates
with illustration,
drawing and painting. 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

15. 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.

18. What is an Illustration?

19. What is an Illustration?
An illustration is a visualization such as
a drawing, painting, photograph or
other work of art that stresses subject
more than form. The aim of an
illustration is to elucidate or decorate
textual information (such as a story,
poem or newspaper article) by
providing a visual representation.

20. Early history:
The earliest forms of illustration were
prehistoric cave paintings.
Before the invention of the printing
press, books were hand-illustrated.
Illustration has been used in China
and Japan since the 8th century,
traditionally by creating woodcuts to
accompany writing.

21. During the 15th century, books illustrated with
woodcut illustrations became available. The main
processes used for reproduction of illustrations
during the 16th and 17th centuries were
engraving and etching.
At the end of the 18th century, lithography
allowed even better illustrations to be
reproduced. The most notable illustrator of this
time was William Blake who rendered his
illustrations in the medium of relief etching.

22. The American "golden age of
illustration" lasted from the 1880s
until shortly after World War I
(although the active career of several
later "golden age" illustrators went on
for another few decades). As in
Europe a few decades earlier,
newspapers, mass market magazines,
and illustrated books had become the
dominant media of public
consumption.

23. Improvements in printing
technology freed illustrators
to experiment with color and
new rendering techniques. A
small group of illustrators in
this time became rich and
famous. The imagery they
created was a portrait of
American aspirations of the
time.
