muotipiirrokset
Muotipiirrokset are drawings used in fashion design to present clothing designs on a human figure. They emphasize silhouette, how fabric falls, movement, and overall style rather than detailed construction. The term comes from Finnish muoto meaning form or shape and piirros meaning drawing. Muotipiirrokset are commonly created on a streamlined figure called a croquis, which provides elongated proportions to highlight garment lines.
There are two main approaches: freehand muotipiirrokset, which prioritize expressiveness and mood, and technical fashion sketches,
Process and techniques: designers prepare a croquis, usually in a neutral pose, then sketch the garment outline
Usage: muotipiirrokset are used in design education, portfolio development, and fashion collections to communicate concepts quickly
History: fashion sketching has a long history, evolving from early fashion plates to contemporary digital illustration.
