Videte.ai Fashion Studio Guide

The vocabulary, in pictures

Every option the chip rows offer, drawn. Within a row the garment and the scale are the same, so the only thing that changes between two pictures is the thing the chip controls.

Fabrics are photographed rather than drawn, because a fabric is a surface and a technical flat has no way to show one. Where a term carries a written definition, it sits beneath the picture.
