Why fashion??

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

society, we generally wee 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 we

wear what we wear.

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

outerwear to avoid frostbite and over-exposure.

Physical attraction: - 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.

WHAT IS FASHION??

Fashion that appears today is different from what is existed in the past. If we see the

prehistoric time we began with wearing animals skins to cover ourselves from the heat and

the cold weather conditions. Fashion is something we deal with every day. Even people who

say they don’t care what they wear choose clothes every morning that say a lot about them

and how they feel that day. One certain thing in the fashion world is change.

HISTORY OF FASHION

The clothes during that time were stitched with the sinuses of animals which worked as

threads and the bones acted as needles, slowly as time passed on, people discovered the

fiber and the weaving. This can be clearly seen from excavation of mohanjodharo hadhppa.

The bust of a Shawl Clad man centers. From that time to a time in Europe and America that

is from the 17th century to the present emphasizing the last 100 years, we find fashion to be

well developed.

In the early 18th century France, dominated the international fashion was worn only by the

Royal people, due to which it because one of the cause for the French revolution of 1789.

After this period we find tremendous change in the fashion industry. There was the birth of

the first Sewing Machine at the same time textile industry grew up.

Textile mills were established to produce clothes in America and New England in 1814.

Francis Cavort Lowell developed the power looms and by 1847 we had new people working

in textile than any other industry in America. This led to the growth of the middle class both

economic and social. They started spending money in the luxury of life, better clothing,

money give the new middle class, and this led to the development of business and society,

also influence fashion trends and it was from here fashion become a Status symbol and

visual means of the show off wealth.

FASHION INDUSTRY

It was during this time men adopted business suits and women dress code was elaborated.

At first fashion was a cottage industry but soon the readymade market grew up and the

same time the mass production development. The first department store developed in the

year 1826 and slowly after these mere changes was developed due to growth in

communication, leisure activities and advancement in industry technology.

The retail industry expended day by day and the early 20th century saw a growth of specialty

stores which led to the expansion of chain stores example: JC Penny in 1912. During the

same time the Indian Fashion Industry was developed but it was in the nascent stage.

Today this industry has grown up and people have understood what fashion is and why we

require fashion. Every person wants to dress up and look good. Million and thousands of

people are depending on this industry and working towards giving the latest and the best to

the people.

The government has taken steps to develop this area to educate of nurture designing.

Government also took initiative to educate people in the field of designing as this industry

required formal education to give better fashion to the customers; government initiated the

opening of NID and NIFT (Ministry of HDP).

NIFT (National Institute of fashion technology) is a fashion institute in India. It was set up in

1986 under the aegis of the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India and is an institution of

design, management and technology for the international fashion business. NIFT is the

founder member of “Fashion School’s Foundation of the World “, which comprises 34

fashion schools worldwide. With its head office in New Delhi, NIFT has centers at Mumbai,

Kolkata, Kangra, Gandhinagar, Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangalore, Raebareli, Patna , Shillong ,

Bhopal, Mangattuparambu, Bhubaneswar and Jodhpur where it offers four-year bachelor

and two – year master programs in the areas of Design , Management and Technology.

NID (National Institute of Design) is a design school in India. The institute functions as an

autonomous body under the department of Industrial Policy and Promotion, Ministry of

Commerce and Industry, Government of India. NID is recognized by the department of

Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) under Ministry of Science and Technology,

Government of India, as a scientific and industrial design research organization.

History of Design Education in India

1840: The first art schools in the country came up in the 1800’s Bombay Art school (1857)

(now known as Sir JJ School of Arts); MSU, school of Arts, Baroda (1887); college of Arts,

Kolkata (1884); etc. The schools in addition to academic programs in fine art included

courses in pottery, title making, metal crafts, etc., later on the 1950’s. There institutes

programmed in graphic design (named commercial/applied arts) catering to the media and

publishing industry in the country.

1913: Kala Bhavana, the Art College was conceived as part of Shantiniketan – a University

setup by the Tagore family. The school also has a Shilpa Sadana – a center for rural craft,

technology and design.

1922: Rabindranath Tagore visits Barhaus School at Wincer, Germany in 1921 meets with

1982-85: Under the United Nations development program, industrial design center invited

design educator such as – Crui Snosippe, Kohie Sugiqra (teachers at the UIM School in

Germany), Arthur Pulos (USA), and Ettore Sotsass (from Italy) and others. They spend 1 to 6

interacting, teaching and doing design projects at IDC, IIT Bombay.

1985: The modern of education at IDC, IIT Bombay was adopted by other IIT’s and the Indian

institute of science in Bangalore these institutes started offering post graduate studies in

product design-IIT Delhi (1985) IISC Bangalore(1990), IIT Kanpur(2004).

Design’ curriculum development held at the Industry Design Centre IIT Bombay.

2007: National Graphic Design Educational meet held during the event ‘Isograds Design

Week in India’s at IDC, IIT Bombay.

Apart from them many colleges and government state universities started providing

communication, formal education. The degree program, Master’s Degree programin Fashion

Designing apart from the diploma program. This led to employment in the fashion industry

so that people could wear better designed clothes.

Many foreign brands of fashion existed in India today to give latest fashion example: Levis,

Benetton etc. All these company provides their design to the customers because of the

Indian Design Market is suffering. This industry requires some youngsters with proper

design development skills to bring the Indian design industry upon the Global Market.

Seen all the above area, I have compiled my project to bring notice what is my Idea of

design and the skill set which I possessed.

FASHION INDUSTRY SKILLS IN ME

Fashion Design industry is a very vast industry, it is gaining popularity day by day as people

are spending more on how they look. The economic status of the Indian youngsters is

improving and boys and boys and girls are very conscious about their career. They have

started working the moment they graduate; this has led towards making the youngsters

concentrate on their appearance. They have started paying attention to how they look and

what they wear. A number of brands of fashion are operating in the market to provide same

to them and the fashion industry has started paying attention to the basic level of fabric and

its finishes like shrink resistant, crease resistant, fragrance induced.

These fabrics are then used for designing garments. This industry works on a very high

pressure and creates any dress one has to pay attention to shortest lead time. If lead time is

not paid attention the dress created will not be in fashion any more. Seeing the points

discussed here which are only few in this industry and has a team of people working to give

the client, the dress he purchases.

Priyanka Lalwani, a part of this industry, the Fashion Designer Industry. I am training myself

through formal education as a student of Master’s degree program along with the technical

skills needed by the industry. To work in this industry I need to present my skills to the

industry experts.

This project is an outcome of the skills that I have learnt during my 1 year diploma program

in Fashion Technology and 1 year of Masters of Science in Fashion Technology (M.Sc. FT).

MY WORKING PLACES

In all the below photographs I have shown the places where I use to innovate my ideas in

designing. All these places helped me in my designing procedure. The Dezyne E’Cole library

helped me to keep myself update with upcoming trends and also allowed me to grab all the

knowledge of designing. The Drafting, Draping, Stitching and Sketching Lab helped me to

design my ideas on 2D form and 3D stand. Technical Lab where I worked on Advance

Designing Soft ware’s like Corel Draw, Orbito Pattern Designer on which advance 2D and 3D

simulation of garment can be seen. Stitching Lab helped me in transformation of 2D

garment into 3D through Electronic Stitching Machine. Material Lab is a place where I look a

feel of the fabric available in the market. All these areas helped me a lot to learn designing

from basic to innovative areas.

ART OF COLOURS

Design means to create, innovate, from the basic levels of working and to excel this field. I started

my basic from learning the art of how we are attracted by anything, how a person pays attention

towards any design, that is the vibrant world of colors. I mastered the art of color combinations

emphasis was paid on the various color as to how they provide an optical illusion on the human body

and how can we effectively use this feature of colors to create an impactful image. Colors make us

feel a certain way. Think about the feeling, flavor or emotion we would like our dress to convey.

Colors can influence our emotions, our actions and hoe we respond to various people, things and

ideas. Much has been studied and written about color and its impact on our daily lives.

There is some of my work of colors which I had done during my studies.

MY WORKING ON COLORS

Elements of design

Design elements are the basic units of visual image.

Line, colour, texture, shape and form are the elements

of design.

Line

Lines have several aspects including direction, thickness,

sharpness, and length. There are two types of lines

Straight lines (vertical, horizontal, diagonal, zigzag), Curved

lines.

Colour

By passing light through a prism that refracted or bent the

light rays into a spectrum of colors.

Color is contained in light and it does not exist in the

absence of light.

Textures

It is a feel of a surface.

There are two types of texture

Visual and Tactile.

Shape

It is a self contained defined area of geometric or organic

form.

A positive shape in a painting automatically forms a

negative space.

It can also show perspective by overlapping.

Dots

Dots are basic element of design.

They are functional and decorative.

Principles of Design

Every design demands arranging of its components in

manners which are best dictated by certain principles.

These principles of design guide the arrangement of

elements of design to make it a good piece of art. It is

important for any artist or designer to arrange the

elements in a pleasing manner. Hence, knowledge and

understanding of these principles is important.

The principles of design are:-

1. Repetition

2. Gradation

3. Harmony

4. Dominance

5. Balance

6. Contrast

7. Radiation

8. Proportion

9. Rhythm

10. Unity

Repetition

When any element of design- dot, line, shape, color, texture is

used more than once in a garment, repetition occurs. It makes the

eye move over the design, hence is directional. This movement

united the design. Human body has symmetry; hence the garment

elements are also placed in some symmetry, example sleeves,

pockets, collar lapels. Buttons, trims and embroidery on a garment

can also have symmetry. Repetition cab is of various types. It could

be regular, irregular, inverted, alternate or parallel.

Harmony

When one or more qualities of the design are similar, harmony occurs between them. These

similar features are repeated on the garment. Tones of same hue create harmony if put

together. White and black can be made harmonious through adding gray with it. The design

elements can create harmony by linking with the mood of the garment.

Rhythm

The elements are placed in a manner that eye moves in a

direction, this motion of the eye causes rhythm. The features of

the design are so arranged that the eye moves over the

garment, in an orderly predictable manner. Rhythmic effect

becomes stronger when the pattern is repeated. It could be an

identical repetitive pattern or at irregular intervals throughout

the design. Rhythm is seen on gathers, pleats, frills, drapes,

flowing hemlines, seams, laces etc.

Contrast

A contrast occurs when two or more totally unrelated features

occur in one design. Contrast is the principle which draws

attention. Contrast sometimes becomes very important in a

design, on the other hand too much of contrast creates

confusion.

Proportion

It is the way in which all parts in a design are related to each other as to the design by scale

and size. Proportion is usually the best when all design areas are not exactly the same. But

the relationship between the unequal parts should be pleasing to the eye. Sometimes, too

much difference or too little difference also does not create an interest. By changing the

proportions, different styles can be created from the same design. Different proportions

have different illusions. If the waistline of the dress is lowered or raised, the proportion of

the dress elements like, bodice, skirt, flare etc. is change. The result is in the varied illusions.

Balance

Weight of the different elements of the design is equally

distributed to create balance. This gives stability to the whole

design. In some designs, the elements are repeated exactly the

same way as on the other side of the axis. It is like a reversed

mirror image. Balance in a garment can be adjusted by moving of

seams, yokes, panels, and darts by adding or subtracting fullness

and also by arranging openings.

Dominance

Dominance principle has the highlighting function with each

design having a focal point or a point holding the design. Usually

there is one dominance or emphasis point. When there is no

dominant feature the eye becomes bored and restless.

Radiation

From a central point, there is a movement of elements in all directions, this is called

radiation. The movement creates interest on the central point from where the elements

radiate out to the outer edges of the elements. Radiation is directional in nature; it can be

in similar directions, several directions, opposite directions or all directions. Radiation

principle is applicable to elements of line and shape only.

Gradation

When identical elements change on every repetition in increasing or decreasing order, it is

called gradation. It is repetition with variation. It is uniting but moving in a direction.

Gradation can be seen in shapes, color, line and size.

Unity

All elements of design strive to have unity when placed together in a piece of art. The

elements of design and principles of design should be so placed that neither should be

overdone. There should be no competition between the elements. A completely united

design is that which spoils with the removal or addition of even a single dot, line, shape,

color or texture. The elements are placed in perfect harmony with each other.

FASHION TERMINOLOGY

Fashion terminology is the basic terms that we use in our daily life related to fashion. This is

important for us to read these terminologies.

Some basic fashion terms are:-

Style

Design

Fad

Ford

Fashion look

Accessories

Fashion trend

Fashion season

Taste

Classic

Fashion cycle

1) Style: - Style is a characteristic or distinctive mode of

presentation or conceptualization in a particular field. Style

exists in writing, speaking, home decorating and table

manners, to make a few examples. In apparel style is the

characteristic or distinctive appearance of a garment – the

combination of features that makes it different from other

garments.

2) Design: - Designs generated by making specific variation

in some style. Manufactures usually produce several

designs or variations of a popular

Style.

3) Taste: - taste can be defined as the ability to discern and

appreciate that which makes for excellence at a particular

time in a particular circumstance.

In fashion taste refers to an individual’s opinion of

what is and what is not attractive and appropriate for a given

occasion.

4) Classic: - some styles never became completely absolute but instead remains more or

less accepted for an extended period. Style or design that continues to be considered in

good taste over a long period are classic. A classic is a style or design that satisfied a

basic need and remains in general fashion acceptance for an extended period of time.

5) Fad: - a fashion that suddenly swipes into popularity affecting relatively few of the total

population and then quickly disappears is called fad. Fad has been called miniature

fashion.

6) Ford: - a ford is a fashion that sells in great quantities and widely copied at the variety of

price level. A ford is also called a best seller or a runner. It consistently with sell through

a season or a year at full price.

7) Fashion look: -A fashion look refers to the

total accessories costume. The term was

introduced in 1947 with Christian Dior’s

“New look “which was a radical change from

the fashion during the world war 2nd.

8) Accessories: - fashion accessories are items

that accompany item of wearing apparel to

complete the total fashion look. Accessories

include hats, gloves, jewelry, scarf, belt,

handbags, shoes, artificial flowers and hair

ornaments.

9) Fashion trend: - fashion trend is the direction

in which a fashion is moving. A number of

trends are present in any given time. Trends

include those fashions gaining in popularity

and acceptance in the market. Such fashion are the “incoming trends”, those fashion

demising popularity are the “outgoing trends”.

10) Fashion cycle: - Fashion moves in invisible pattern that follow definite directions. These

patterns of movement are referred to as fashion cycle. Each fashion moves in a cycle

that includes several stages from the introduction of the fashion through its decline in

popularity. Fashion acceptance is usually described as a fashion cycle. A fashion cycle is

often depicted as a bell shaped curve reflecting how a fashion moves from acceptance

of one specific style to decline of that style.

Stages of fashion cycle

a) Introduction: - The first stage of fashion cycle is introduction. At this beginning stage

the product is first introduced and is accepted by only a limited number of people,

like fashion leaders, the people who like to be are first with what is new. At this

stage of the cycle fashion implies only style and newness.

b) Rise: - when new styles are seen, worn by celebrities on television or photograph in

magazines, they attract the attention of the general public. As consumer interest

increases manufactures copy the new look or adopt some of their dominant features

making simpler style in preparation for rising sales acceptation.

c) Peak: - When a fashion is at the height of its popularity, it may be in such demand

adaptation of it at many price levels. Volume production requires a likelihood of

mass acceptance.

FASHION HISTORY

Fashion is a general term for a popular style or practice,

especially in clothing, footwear, accessories, makeup, body

piercing or furniture. According to fashion cycle fashion repeat

itself after a particular time. Fashion history gives us information

about fashion in previous years.

Some famous looks of fashion history:-

Flapper look: - Flapper look is introduced in 1920’s after First

World War. A flapper was initially a derogatory term, but soon

was used to describe any young woman of the mid 1920’s who

wore cloche hats, bobbed cut hair. In this era tubular dresses

with shorter skirts with pleats, gathers or slits are in fashion.

Flare look: - this look is introduced in 1930’s. In this era majority of dresses were cut on the

bias grain to give the dress a flowing look at the bottom. Fabrics such as silk, satin, organza,

net, chiffon, brocade, velvet and lace were used to great effect.

Disco look: -disco look is popular in 1970’s era. It is known as three piece suits for men and

wrap around rayon or jersey dresses for women. This is

known disco look because at this time people are crazy for

disco. Colors are multicolored like disco lights. Make up was

garish and glittery. This time boys used makeup like girls and

they wear ear rings etc. like girls.

Punk look: -Punk look is introduced in fashion after disco

look. Punk as a style originated from London from the

designer “Vivienne Westwood” and her partner Malcolm

McLaren. Safety pins became nose and ear jewelry and they

colored their hairs with trendy colors. Punk fashion can be

traced to the ripped jeans, torn t- shirts, scrappy haircuts and worn torn leather jackets.

Christian Dior’s new look: - The French designer Christian Dior introduced the classic

modern pencil skirt in the late 40’s (1947) using the term H- line to describe its shape. Dior

created his skirt while envisioning the hobble skirt his mother would wear in the early

1900’s.

FABRIC STUDY

A dress cannot be made beautiful if I haven’t mastered the knowledge of fabrics which are

made from natural and man-made fibers. For understand the characteristics of different

fabrics I had done a market survey for knowing the different fabrics. Fabric or cloth is a

flexible artificial material that is made by a network of natural or artificial fibers. The

example is thread or yarn which is formed by weaving or knitting as in textiles. Cloth is made

in many varying strengths and degrees of durability. Some common fabrics which are usually

used for manufacturing clothes are cotton, silk, wool, nylon, polyester etc.

After studying about all these fabrics I had done a market survey to see what the fabrics that

is in fashion now days. There are some of my pictures of gaining knowledge about different

fabric.

MARKET SURVEY

FABRIC MANUPILATION

After understand the properties and the characteristics of fabrics we had tried to make

different innovative fabrics in our college campus. I had done different types of

manipulation on fabric to give different effect in it. Through this activity I had learnt how to

give a decorative effect to a simple fabric.

MY WORKING ON FABRIC MANUPILATION

GARMENT ORNAMENTATION

After gaining knowledge of fabric we had tried to do some ornamentation on that fabric to

give it new look. There are so many methods of garment ornamentation like embroidery,

woven textile, printed textile, painted textile, etc. These methods are used to decorate

fabric and make it eye-catching.

MY WORKING ON GARMENT ORNAMENTATION

MY WORKING ON GARMENT ORNAMENTATION

KNITTING

During my learning curve I had learnt about the knitting, how knitted garment can be make,

machinery used in knitting Industries. For understand this process we had visited at Jain

Readymade Garment in Ajmer. Where we had seen circular knitting machine and learnt

about the whole process of making a pair of socks.

By this visit I had learnt how the knitting machinery works, which needle is used in

machineries, how socks can be made by circular machines, how they give different patterns

and names in them and after making the socks the pair transfer to the interlock department

and then pressing and packing department.

MARKET SURVEY

PATTERN ENGINEERING

I have learned the art of Flat Pattern making of women’s traditional and western wear,

children garment and men’s garment with more emphasis on manipulating darts, style lines,

sleeves, skirts and dresses on paper. The same draft was taken on Orbito pattern designer.

Apart from Pattern Drafting I have also learnt the layout and estimation of the garment, as it

is very important for the designer to avoid fabric wastage.

Further pages I have shown the different techniques through which the Pattern Drafting can

be made like Flat Pattern Drafting, 2-D drafts made on Orbito Pattern Designer

GARMENT CONSTRUCTION

After gaining knowledge of pattern engineering we also study about garment construction

which is the further process of designing. Garment construction is a method in which we

learn about construction of garment that how a garment is constructed and which process is

followed to make a complete garment.

GARMENTS CONSTRUCTED BY ME

DRAPING ON 3-D STAND

To design any garment a fashion designer should have an insight of ingredients of the

garment. These are the most important features of any garment because we see a dress on

a human form which is vertical but wear it horizontally. This gives us a clear indication that a

student of fashion should skills about basic, elements, principles of design.

This gives us a clear indication that a student of fashion should have strong skill about the

basic elements and principles of design.

I have mastered the art of fabric drape on toile this help me in expressing my idea through

sketch and then moving on the art of draping. 3-D stand draping art lets me visualize my

ideas sketched on paper life on a mannequin this is an art which loved the most because I

work without paper pattern the feel of fabric and the dress form help me to design

effectively.

MY WORKING ON BASIC DRAPING

MY WORKING ON BASIC DRAPING

SKETCHING AND ILLUSTRATION

Very base of Fashion Designing is illustration. Before manufacturing a costume or an

accessory the first thing a Fashion Designer prefers is to see a visual picture is what is to be

created. This is very necessary to get an idea on how it will look on models when they wear

it in a fashion show. By means of fashion illustration the fashion designers can make

changes to the ideas and create new one.

If the fashion designer wants to make any alternation to his creation then the illustration

provides that flexibility. To express ones idea of design one must be knowledgeable towards

expressing on paper, to express the idea I had experience on developing croques of female

figure and mastered the art of showing the fabric drapes on them. This helps me in

expressing my ideas through sketches. There is some of my illustration work which I am

showing below by pictures.

Draw which helps me to visualize my design specification and pages. Few of my works are

compiled there. For a designer, Corel Draw Graphics Suite is a trusted graphic design

software solution. With its content-rich environment and professional graphic design,

photo-editing and website design software, where we have everything which we need to

express our design, style and creativity with endless possibilities. Here I am presenting some

of my work which I had done on Corel.
