Fashion as a Person’s Image

Fashion is more than wearing good clothes it is about presenting a person’s image in the society,

we generally see people accepting fashion due to the peer pressure, image in the society and

when a person wants a change to brighten his life. There are many reasons behind what we wear.

Protection from cold, rain and snow: - mountain climbers wear high-tech outwear to avoid

frostbite and over- exposure.

Physical attention:-many styles are worn to inspire “chemistry”.

Emotions: - we dress “up” when we’re happy and “down” when we’re upset.

Religious expression: - orthodox Jewish men wear long black suits and Islamic women cover

every part of their body except their eyes.

Identification and tradition: - judges wear robes, people in the military wear uniforms, brides

wear long white dresses.

Fashion Industry

Within the sphere of technology industries,design technology is perhaps the fastestgrowing today. With new technologiesemerging rapidly and industries changingcomplexion, more and more jobopportunities are up for the taking. It isestimated that India will have a shortfall offive lakh people in the design sector by2010- 11, but not all graduates will beemployable. Thus bringing the gapbetween talent and the skills required bythe industry is important. Today, only onein every four designers is employable andonly 10% of the design graduates manageto get employment in the design industry.Hence the students should understand thebasic requirement of the industry andexhibit that ability.

This is what I learnt here at Dezyne E’coleCollege Creating fashion doesn’t just entaila vivid imagination and instinct forcreativity. It also involves many decisionsand myriad techniques, focused on acentral idea. Dezyne E’cole’s FashionDesign has made me build a strongfoundation in terms of design sense,conceptualisation, independent research,creative application and individual artisticexpression.

Learning Experience

As a part of fashion industry I am training my self through formal education in Bachelor Degreeof Science in Fashion Technology and industry oriented diploma programme in built with thisstudy.During the course duration of Diploma programme I had an exposure towards practical workingin Fashion Design.

FOUNDATION DESIGN

COLORS

Colors: Impression On Human MindColor is one of the most vital tools in the hands of a Designer. It is the most perceptible andprominent aspect of any designer, and hence is central to the success or failure of a designscheme. It is therefore very important that a Designer has the full knowledge andunderstanding of this tool.

Warm & Cool Colors

BLUEVariations of Cool Color as Blue.

GREENVariations of Cool Color as Green.

REDVariations of Warm Color as Red.

Comparing Value Of Colors

The Yellow is lighterthan Red.

Introduction To Textiles

Textile Studies

For any Fashion Designer its very importantto study about fabric and its properties. Fordesigning new age clothes a fashiondesigner should be aware about fabricfinishes like Fire Repellency, WaterRepellency, Aroma Fabric, Anti-Wrinkleproperty of Fabric.A small report on fabric is presented here :

Aroma fabricAroma fabric is treated with the pleasantodour producing essential oils andaromatic compounds so that the wearergets beneficial effects. Aroma fabric canbe used in apparels, bed sheets, intimategarments & sports wear.Aroma fabric gives a feeling of freshnessto the wearer. Aroma fabrics also used inhospitals & spas to give a soothingeffect.

Stain Resistant FabricStain resistant fabrics treated in the millwith fluorochemical commercial finishesretain their stain-repellent propertiesbest. Stain resistant fabrics can preventstains from sticking on the collar, cuffsetc., as well as can easily shed suchstains by washing. Stain resistant fabriccan be used in chef’s uniform, hospitals,school uniform and sports wear etc.

Fire Retardant FabricA Fire Retardant Fabric reduces theflammability or delays the combustion.Fire repellent fabrics can be used in thepublic places such as school, theatresetc. The flame retardancy of fabric iscertified for one year though the actuallength of time the treatment remainseffective.

Formation Of Fabric

Fibre

Yarn

Fabric

Fibre is the raw material used in making yarn. Fibre is the initial stage in the process of making

“Fabric”.

Yarn is the 2nd stage in the process of fabricformation.

Yarn is made by fibre. It is the raw material used to make fabrics.

It is the final product after fibre & yarnformation to make fabric.

Fabric’s Introduction

The basic ingredient for thedevelopment of fabric is fibre. From afibre yarns are made than these yarnsare woven or knitted to form fabric.

There are several different types offabric from two main sources :-Manmade or Natural sources.

Fabric formation process contributes tothe fabric appearance, texture,performance, end uses and cost.

A fabric can be used to make 2-D or 3-Dproducts that require some shape &flexibility. Fabrics are used in Apparel,Furnishing & many Industrial products.

Types Of Fabric

Knitted Fabric

Woven Fabric

Non-Woven Fabric

Knitted Fabric

Knitting is a method by which threadsor yarns turned into cloth or other finecrafts.

Knitting is of two types:- Warp Knitting Weft Knitting

Knitted fabrics are stretchy & motecomfortable to wear.

Knitted fabrics are used in Dresses,Ties, Socks, Sweaters, Blankets,Furnishings, Fire protection clothingetc.....

Warp Knitting

Weft Knitting

Woven Fabric

Woven fabrics are formed by weaving.Weaving is an art of interlacing theyarns together to make a piece offabric.

The main types of weave are Twill,Satin, Pile and Plain weave.

Woven fabrics are tough & durable, andthese fabrics are usually frays at edges.

Woven fabrics includes muslin, poplin,cotton, chiffon, corduroy, denim,taffeta, cambric etc....

Non-Woven FabricNon Woven fabrics are produced byinterlocking or bonding fibres together bychemical, mechanical, heat or solventtreatment.

Non Woven fabrics are not made byweaving or knitting and do not requireconverting the fibres to yarn.

Non Woven fabric are used in surgicalmasks, caps, tea bags, carpet backing &packaging....

Knitted Fabric Woven Fabric Non-Woven Fabric

Garment ConstructionFashion design runs the garment from eveningwear to sportswear, women’s wear to menswear,and kids wear to knitwear. Garment Construction popularly called as Pattern Engineering has agreat importance in the fashion design industry. The companies like Van Heuson, Dockers, Levis,Adidas etc. are all providers of perfect fit and this is what we learn at Dezyne E’cole through theart of pattern making.A sloper pattern (home sewing) or block pattern (industrial production) is a custom-fitted, basicpattern from which patterns for many different styles can be developed.The draping method involves creating a muslin mock-up pattern by pinning fabric directly ona form, then transferring the muslin outline and markings onto a paper pattern or using themuslin as the pattern itself.The flat pattern drafting method is the most commonly used method in menswear.

Tools & Equipments

French Curve Rotary Cutter Scissor Measuring Tape

Drafting Scale Cotton Thread T-Pins

The flat pattern method where the entire pattern is drafted on a flat surface from measurements, using rulers, curves, and straight edges. As a fashion designer I use various tools & measuring devices to create a toil pattern on dummy.

Dart manipulation introduced the slash spread and pivotal transferpattern making technique to transferdart excess from one location to another for design variation. It is thebeginning of pattern manipulatingprocess for generating design patterns. It requires both artistic andtechnical skills to mange and control the pattern.There are three principles for dart manipulation.

PRINCIPLE 1A dart may be transferred to any location around the patterns outlinesfrom a designated pivotal pointWithout affecting the size or fit of a garment. ONE DART SERIES TWO DART SERIES

PRINCIPLE 2 Added fullnessTo increase fabric in a garment to an amount greater than thatprovided by the dart excess of the workingpattern. The length and width within the pattern’s outline must beincreased.

PRINCIPLE 3 ContouringTo fit the contours of the upper torso closer than does the basicgarment the pattern must be reduced within its frame to fit thedimension of the body above, below and in between the bust moundsand shoulder blades.

Flat & Fell SeamThe flat & fell seam is suitable fortailors, reversible, unlinedgarments and work clothes in lightto medium weight fabric and lightmost self finished hem.

Plain SeamIt joins two pieces of fabrictogether face-to-face by sewingthrough both pieces.These seam can be used onwoven & knit fabrics.

Abutted SeamAbutted seams are suitable formaterial which do not ravelfoundation garment andinterfacing.

Bound SeamBound seam is used in finishingnecklines, sleeves, hems and infinishing seams on unlined jacketsand coats.

Top SeamVersatile & easy top stitch are themost popular decorative seam bychanging the size, color and kindof thread.

French SeamThe French seam is strong anddurable. This seam is usually usedon lightweight woven, sheer andother delicate fabrics.

Double Hem Frequently used on light weight &transparent fabrics. Double hemis a good choice for rectangularskirt & children garments.

Lettuce Edge To make an attractive ripplededge use it on knits with 50%stretch or on bias cut wovenfabric.

Blind Hem Stitch The stitching is almost invisible onthe right side of the fabric. Theblind hem stitch is primarily usedfor hemming curtains, trousers,skirts, etc.

Book Hem Book hem is frequently used oncoats, jackets and childrengarment. This hem stitch is usedwhen top stitching would distractfrom garment appearance and rawedges would be unsightly on theinside of the garment.

Elements Of Design

Designing process involves the combiningof known design components in variedways to create new products. Elements ofdesign are those components which thedesigners employ in all forms of art &design, weather it is designing of garments,music, building, paintings etc.understanding of these elements andusing them in different ways enables thedesigner to produce different art and visualeffects.Every design is composed of differentelements. These elements are:-

Dot

Line

Shape

Color

Texture

DotDot is known as the basic element ofdesign. It is the smallest and simplest unitsuggesting its presence and location.The size of the dots also convey a message;the bigger the dots the more enlarged thesurface appears, an vice-versa. Hence, athin figure should wear a dress of biggerdots to conceal the figure problem.Points joined and proceeding towards oneside indicate direction. A chain of dotsbecomes a line.

LineLine is a spontaneous mode of expression.It is the distance between the two pointstogether. It is a chain of dots joinedtogether indicating direction. Line is thesimplest and most important of the designelements.All lines have Direction, Length and Width.There are many kinds of lines-diagonal,undulating and spiral, dotted,perpendicular, dominating, straight, thick,horizontal, vertical, thin, curved andZig-Zag.Lines can be seen on seams, yokes, fabricpatterns, darts and pockets, collars, seams,gathers etc..

ShapeShape is a space enclosed by lines, e.g., asilhouette is the outer shape of thegarment. A shape features in the structuraland decorative features of the garment-the silhouette, pockets, yokes, collars, etc.Three basic shapes are- natural, geometricand abstract.Natural shapes are found in nature andliving things.Geometric shapes include circles, squares,rectangles, ovals, etc. they are regular andcan be measured easily.Abstract shapes are man made oraccidently made shapes.

Color The first thing is ever noticed about agarment is the color. Hence, color is themost important of all the design elements.Every color can be studied through itsthree characteristics :- Hue Value ChromaHue is that dimension of color which givesit a name and distinguishes it from anothercolor.Value depicts the lightness and darkness ofa color. A lighter color has bigger valuethan a darker color .Chroma signifies the brightness or dullnessof a color, thus distinguishing navy bluefrom cobalt blue.

Texture Texture is the characteristic structure aswell as the surface quality of the material.Texture usually describes the nature of asurface, which we can judge by our feelingof touch.In fashion designing, varied textures areseen on the surface of fabrics and differenttrimmings.Textures are of two types :- Tactile VisualTactile textures can be felt with a touchand is found in natural materials like stone,silk, glass etc..Visual textures are seen due to surfaceornamentation like printing, embroidery,smocking etc.

Principles Of Design

Every design demands arranging of itscomponents in manners which are bestdictated by certain principles. Theseprinciples of design guide the arrangementof elements of design to make it a goodpiece of art. It is important for any artist ordesigner to arrange the elements in apleasing manner. Hence, knowledge andunderstanding of these principles isimportant.Like the elements of design, the principlestoo may be used in a design structurally ordecoratively.These principles of design are:-

Repetition Gradation Radiation Dominance Harmony Contrast Proportion Balance Rhythm Unity

Repetition When any element of design- dot, line,shape, color or texture is used more thanonce in a garment, Repetition occurs. Itmakes the eye move over the design,hence it is directional .Human body has symmetry; hence thegarment elements are also placed in somesymmetry, e.g., sleeves, pockets, collarlapels. Buttons, trims and embroidery on agarment can also have symmetry.Repetition can be of various types. It couldbe irregular, regular, inverted, alternate orparallel.

Gradation When identical elements change on everyrepetition in increasing or decreasingorder, it is called gradation.It is repetition with variation.it is unitingbut moving in a direction. Gradation can beseen in shapes, color, line and size.

Radiation From a central point, there is movement ofelements in all directions. This is calledradiation. The movement creates intereston the central point from where theelements radiate out to the outer edge ofthe elements. Being directional in nature,radiation can be in similar directions,several directions, opposite directions orall directions. Radiation principle isapplicable to elements of line and shapeonly.

Dominance Dominance principle has the highlightingfunction with each design having a focalpoint or a point holding the design. Usuallythere is one dominance or emphasis point.It sets the mood of design.When there is no dominant feature, theeye becomes board and restless. Warmcolors are more dominant than cool colors.Shiny textures are more dominant thanmatt textures.

Harmony It fulfills the uniting action of principle ofdesign. When one or more qualities of thedesign are similar, harmony occursbetween them.Tones of same hue create harmony if puttogether. Line making shapes createharmony. The design elements can create aharmony by linking with the mood of thegarment.

Contrast A contrast occurs when two or more totallyunrelated features occur in one design.Contrast are the principles which drawattention. Hence, contrast sometimesbecomes very important in a design. Onthe other hand, too much of contrastcreates confusion.

Proportion It is the way in which all parts in a designare related to each other as to the design.Proportion is usually the best when alldesign areas are not exactly the same. Butthe relationship between the unequalparts should be pleasing to the eye.Sometime, too much difference or toolittle difference also does not created anyinterest. By changing the proportions,different style can be created from thesame design.

Balance Weight of the other elements of the designis equally distributed to create a balance.This gives stability to the whole design. Insome design, the elements are repeatedexactly the same way as on the other sideof the axis. It is like a reversed mirrorimage.Balance in a garment can be adjusted bymoving of seams, yokes, panels, darts byadding or subtracting fullness and also byarranging openings

Rhythm The elements are placed in a manner thateye moves in a direction. This motion ofeye causes rhythm. The feature of thedesign are so arranged that the eye movesover the garment, in an orderly predictablemanner.Rhythmic effect becomes stronger whenthe pattern is repeated. It could be anidentical repetitive pattern or at irregularintervals throughout the design. Rhythm isseen on gathers, pleats, frills, drapes,flowing hemlines, seams, laces, scallopededges.

Unity All elements of design strive to have unitywhen placed together in a piece of art. Theelements of design and principle of designshould be placed so placed that neithershould be overdone.There should be no competition betweenthe elements. The elements are placed inperfect harmony with each other.

SELLING THE RIGHT COLOR

Sir Isaac Newton the greatscientist invented color in1665 during an experimentwith glass prism.

Pantone as it is today, wasfounded in 1962 was boughtby Lawrence Herbert whodeveloped the first pantonecolor chart in 1963.

Tribal Culture: Rajasthan

Vibrant, colourful, dazzling, vivid, garishstands for the tribal culture of Rajasthan.Stand in a market place in Jodhpur orJaipur, every street is a sensory assault,from lime to mint, saffron to crimson, andturquoise to indigo, magenta to lavender.

Rajasthan Tribal is constitutes aroundtwelve percent of the total population ofthe state. There is different Tribes inRajasthan, however all Rajasthan tribesshare certain common traits, the variationsbeing in their costumes, jewellery, fair andfestivals, etc.

A wide variety of colors also make thetribal costume more attractive. Costumesof their men and women are unique.

The type of clothing is very popular amonglocals. They are often embroidered.This costume is designed on the basis ofcomplimentary color scheme.This dress is showing the element of designlike Dot, Line, Shape, Value, Color &Texture.

For centuries, the Bhil & Bishnoi cultures

have coexisted in the Rajasthan desert of

central India, a society of people living in

harmony with each other & their

environment.

Gota and rickrack are also applied for

ornamentation on odhni.

This costume is showing the basic elements

of design like Dot, Line, Shape, Value,

Colour, Texture as well as principle of

design like Repetition, Gradation,

Radiation, Dominance, Harmony, Contrast,

Proportion, Rhythm, etc....

Tribal jewelry of Rajasthan takes animportant position in the Costumes ofRajasthan.All women’s wear very bright, predominantly patterned cloth and adorn themselves with nose rings, bracelets and anklets.Silver is more commonly worn by the rural women and is certainly more affordable. A forehead ornament Bhor can be made of gold or silver and decorated with silvered glass beads and mirrors. Usually it is spherical but may be flat. They may be of different shape: rectangular, square, round, in the form of yoni or temple-shaped.

Rajasthan literally means a land of

Kingdoms. Traditionally men wear Dhotis,

Kurta and Safa (a kind of turban). Dhoti is

worn in different ways in Marwar.
