There are some differences between a 'figurino' or fashion sketch, and a fashion illustration. An figurino or fashion sketch, show us a clear-cut idea of any design, with details and the real proportions, that a professional pattern maker can read without almost any explication, from the designer, to start making a professional pattern. But, a Fashion illustration, instead of that, show us an general idea about of a fashion trend, silhouettes, colors, textures and accessories, but without enter in technical details.
- My Moon dress.
- Cocktail dress from my ‘Melt’ collection.
I have been teaching figurino or fashion sketch as well as
the fashion design, for more than 15 years and I love it, but I like the more
when I do it realizing my own creations. It is a magic moment when yourself can
see your own thoughts materialized in graphic form on paper.
- A second version of the same idea, with the same bustier but only one panel of skirt.
- To Alba Zuluaga's wedding dress (2006) the inspiration was herself.
- Evening gown from my 'Melt' collection.
“To me, a 'figurino', or fashion sketch is more than a quick sketch to give an idea of the design or to show a fashion trend, it is my personal hallmark that shows the essence of my spirit of fashion "... John Miranda.
