What are the application points of illustration in fashion design? Can you elaborate on it? 1. Rational application of illustrations based on understanding cultural changes.

Changing clothing form and design style is the earliest purpose and function of illustration in clothing design. Therefore, illustration art can be regarded as a long-term witness to the evolution of human clothing. At the same time, illustration art, as the main factor affecting human clothing civilization and historical tradition, is usually considered as an effective way to show national culture. Not only in China, but also in the world, illustration art has a long history, which shows that illustration art is related to the history of world clothing. Take France in the late 1950s of 17 as an example, the public mainly read clothing publications to find out whether the style of clothing design and the way of dressing have changed, that is to say, during this period, the public generally understood the changes of clothing through illustrations, which shows that illustration art shoulders the responsibility and burden of spreading human clothing culture.

It was not until the evolution and development of the early 20th century that the appearance of fashion clothing newspapers and periodicals completely confirmed the position and role of illustration art ... As the main component of clothing plate, illustration art has played an increasingly important role in fashion design after entering the new situation. Instead of staying in the stage of magazine illustration or design renderings, fashion design works and designers inspired by illustration art are becoming more and more common. In addition, during this period, the content of illustration art gradually took characters as the main body or theme, which greatly expanded the imagination space of characters and clothing images by using the expression form of illustration, which was not only conducive to the long-term development of clothing culture, but also played a significant role in promoting the goal of innovative clothing culture.

2. Reasonable application of fashion design technology

Clothing form is the primary factor that designers should consider when designing clothing. In the specific design period, more and more modern fashion designers advocate the use of illustration art to stimulate their own design inspiration, so as to achieve the purpose of designing more novel and successful fashion works. At the same time, embroidery, tape painting, hand-drawn illustration and other expression techniques in illustration art are widely used in the field of fashion design, including men's design and women's design. It can be seen that the effective combination of clothing design and illustration can enrich the colors, patterns and forms of clothing itself, and then create a brand-new clothing shape. Moreover, in the process of selecting elements such as shape, color and pattern, it is necessary to combine the technical requirements of illustration and comprehensively consider the designer's personal design style, and then make reasonable remodeling, induction and improvement. In addition, exaggeration can be appropriately added to open up the designer's design thinking space, further enhance the innovative consciousness of fashion designers, and finally design excellent fashion design works. In a word, the application value of illustration in fashion design can be fully and effectively reflected by rational application of fashion design techniques.
