A croqui is a light rough sketch and full-fledged fashion illustration is the design shown fully with details, colouring and proper rendering. It is not only that a design student or any designer, the fashion illustrators need to think a lot while drawing their illustrations. From the basics of what paper they are using, as it effects on the medium and on the final outcome to the detailing of the design. If the fashion figure is not going to be cleared in the designers head, it is going to create confusion in further procedures, like pattern making to stitching.

This is what the illustration talking about. This is the purpose of the design. Fashion figure comes in various way coloured or non-coloured, quick or full rendered etc. However, at the end, it is on the creator how he or she showing it and flaunting it to the audience.
