Fashion design begins with an illustration, transforming ideas into creative designs through sketches and drawings. Fashion illustration is essential for visually explaining and communicating design concepts, showcasing details like fabric flow, cuts, and pleats. Each designer develops a unique sketching style, making their work instantly recognizable. These fashion sketches not only enhance visualization but also serve as crucial communication tools in the design process, laying the foundation for creating garments and accessories. Understanding the importance of fashion sketching highlights its role in bringing a designer’s vision to life.
