For a more natural and wholesome way of designing fashion!

tracing-models-logoThis site has a very simple mission, offer non-stereotyped body models to trace for fashion design!

Our goal : providing an alternative to the distorted anorexic body models with impossibly long legs and small head, that we find everywhere in the fashion industry and that creates a false image of the body. We are looking to present real-life models representing real people with all of their originalities and corporal diversity.

To help us, you can contribute to this project by taking pictures of poses you would like to use for your fashion drawings and by sending them to me to produce new pictures! You can also send pictures or scans of your fashion drawings and creations inspired by tracing models!
