Foreign Vintage Costume Illustration - The hottest contemporary fashion illustrator! How was it made?

What are the common artistic styles of illustration in fashion design? Can you tell me in detail?

1. Pop style

Pop style illustration art appeared, popular in 20_Lan50_BengNaShiShe, mainly through the creation of commercial art, the formation of a fusion of popular culture and commercial art of a new art style. At the same time, the relatively pompous cartoon images, newspaper prints and humorous slogans in the Pop style, *** with the composition of the unique characteristics of the Pop style, and the Pop style of art is very strong [3]. Andy Warhol is in the field of clothing design to expand the pop style contribution to one of the most outstanding figures, the first time to create a paper, plastic, artificial leather for the production of clothing base material precedent, and in its illustration works contain subversion of the traditional design concepts, with bright colors, design concepts avant-garde and bold color selection and other distinctive features. Until now, Pop style illustration still retains more similarities with Andy Warhol.

2. Abstract style

Often, the works of abstract style are generally geometrical dots, lines, circles, triangles and squares as the main body of in-depth creations, which are typically characterized by abstraction in the creative style. Mondrian is one of the relatively successful early figures in the abstract style, and his abstract style is unique, focusing on the use of a variety of rectangular patterns as the content of the illustration, and this kind of illustration art form has a profound influence on the abstract style. Take the famous French abstract style clothing design master's work "red, yellow and blue" as an example, this work is inspired by Mondrian's abstract style, choosing a variety of colors, lines, triangles, rectangles, to give the general audience a unique art appreciation experience, and give the work a strong sense of visual impact and sense of novelty.

3. Figurative style

Figurative style is different from the above mentioned two styles, its graphic features are generally realistic and lifelike. Moreover, figurative style works show lines relatively directly, and can be treated with decorative generalization, exaggeration and deformation, so as to enhance the sense of color and highlight the simplicity and delicacy of the works. Take the famous Italian fashion designer Mucia Prada as an example, she has the strength to use illustration directly in the creation of clothing design, and she can cover the illustration works in the clothing design works, and her works focus on the creation of character modeling in a careful and delicate way, highlighting the color and the sense of splendor of the works [4]. In addition, the figurative style in the line display is relatively free, can give the audience psychological dream-like experience, especially in clothing design, can effectively improve the degree of sophistication of the design works, give the design works of the dynamic sense of beauty.

He has always admired artists like Lacroix, Antonio and

Eric.

As a result,

there are similarities in color and line in his early style.

In 1996 he illustrated a couture show for a magazine,

and in 1997 he became active in the Paris couture shows.

At first he was dazzled and unprepared,

but the Paris shows really,

inspired an artist.

Paris has the most beautiful women and the best designs.

And everything about it is mesmerizing.

David never paints while the models walk the runway.

Because he found it impossible to do so,

he simply photographed or watched,

and literally felt every moving moment.

He seized every other opportunity to paint,

and no moment in which the model remained still escaped his eye.

For example: during fittings,

sometimes even when the model is resting during a presentation...

▲Cosmetics is also his tool, between the start and end of the pen to move people's hearts, both thick and thin.

David said: "When I first started painting, I thought it was my duty to restore the clothes themselves to the way they looked on the runway. However, the first time I attended a fashion show was at Versace, before Kate Moss disappeared. Before Kate Moss disappeared, I had only drawn her arms! So it's best to enjoy whatever details the models are showing at the moment."

▲Drafts are also moving

David believes that the most important thing is to feel the body underneath the surface of the clothes,

and then the proportions, colors and other details,

which, however, can be difficult to achieve.

▲Drafts are also moving

David draws countless sketches,

and then picks the best ones,

and when he's almost done, he starts to weed them out,

"deconstructing and reconstructing" them.

He continued to draw,

until they looked natural.

He has written about fashion for leading media outlets around the world,

such as The Times, The Independent,

and Harper's Bazaar (a.k.a. Australia).

He has held three solo exhibitions in London and one in New York.

In recent years,

he has also designed visual images for shopping centers in Hong Kong,

as well as illustrations for Vogue's women's fashion line.
