Bring your fashion design ideas to life, from the first sketch to the finished collection. Prêt-à-Template is a professional fashion design app created for fashion sketching, fashion illustration, outfit design, and product development. Built for students, creatives, stylists, and professional designers, it transforms inspiration into polished fashion concepts with tools designed specifically for the real fashion workflow. Whether you are learning fashion drawing, building a fashion portfolio, developing a collection, or exploring new styling ideas, Prêt-à-Template offers a complete workspace for modern fashion design. Unlike generic drawing apps, it is built specifically for the needs of the fashion industry, combining fashion sketch tools, realistic templates, visual research, and presentation workflows in one place. It supports both creative exploration and technical development, helping designers move from early concepts to more resolved and presentation-ready ideas with greater speed and confidence. The app lets you begin creating in two distinct ways, depending on your design style. You can work with linework templates that include front, side, and back guides, making them ideal for structured fashion sketches, technical development, and clean fashion illustration. Or you can start with realistic product templates, working directly over lifelike silhouettes with depth and volume, which is perfect for outfit design, product visualization, and concept development. Puzzle Look makes the creative process even faster and more intuitive. Simply describe the look you want, and it selects the most relevant templates from the library so you can begin designing right away. AI supports your process with fashion-aware suggestions while keeping the designer fully in control of every creative decision. Prêt-à-Template also includes a flexible mood board workspace where inspiration, materials, styling ideas, and product references can come together naturally. Its integrated fashion library includes fabrics, textile structures, prints, patterns, textures, trims, findings, sleeves, collars, cuffs, pockets, openings, construction details, care labels, and textile symbols, creating a rich environment for research, experimentation, and product thinking.  The canvas makes fashion sketching feel more expressive, natural, and realistic. You can sketch, shade, annotate, render, and refine using intuitive tools, realistic brush behavior, and a paper-like surface that gives the digital drawing experience a more tactile quality. Prêt-à-Template also uses AI with real fashion context. Its templates are built around garment proportions, silhouette logic, fabric behavior, drape, trims, and construction details, helping deliver results that feel realistic and aligned with professional fashion design workflows rather than generic image generation. From fashion design and fashion sketching to fashion illustration, outfit design, mood board creation, collection development, styling exploration, textile research, and fashion portfolio building, Prêt-à-Template supports every stage of the fashion design process in one creative workspace, whether you are just starting out or already working at a professional level.

Calling all sneakerheads and art fanatics! We introduce to you Custom Kicks, the ultimate sneaker customization app for your inner creative spark. Create your own custom sneakers to relax or to practice your sneaker designing skills. Simply pick which sneaker you want to customize, and get creating with our intuitive system that makes designing your own colorways simple and easy. A number of options create endless combinations and styles to keep you busy, and the inbuilt color wheel gives you the power to make any colorway you see on the shelves. First, choose to brush or spray your sneakers with 5 different brush size and hardness settings. Or if you’re in a rush, use the bucket feature to paint entire panels in just one click. An eraser and an option to skip backward or forwards allow you to edit your creation and get rid of any possible mistakes until you are happy with what you’ve made. Lastly, decide how realistic you want your design to be, with pre-made shading at your disposal on a sliding scale. Different texture options give you the chance to use patterns like carbon fiber and elephant print or mess around with a range of materials from snakeskin to satin. Once you’re done, your sneaker art can be saved and accessed at any point in the “My Work” section, allowing you to come back to a piece later on and update it or share it with the world. This is also why our app is the perfect tool for sneaker customizers, who can test out their designs first virtually, and then use it as a reference when transferring the design onto a real pair of shoes. Your own sneaker coloring book in your back pocket, to keep you entertained on long haul flights, or to practice your skills late into the night!
