FASHION DESIGNER
Fashion designer is person who
creates original clothing,
accessories, and footwear. They sketch designs,
select fabrics and patterns, and
give instructions on how to make
the products they designed.
FASHION DESIGNER
This profession is not popular
in our area, but it is very
necessary in our village,
because to sew dress or the
clother we have to go to
nearest city. It is 60 km.
FASHION DESIGNER
Fashion designers work in different ways. Some sketch their ideas on paper, while others drape fabric on a dress form. When a designer is completely satisfied with the fit of the muslin, he or she will consult a professional pattern maker who then makes the finished, working version of the pattern out of card or via a computerized system. Finally, a sample garment is made up and tested on a model to make sure it is an operational outfit.
GET INSPIRED
Look for fabrics, objects or people
who inspire you to create a new piece of
clothing. Search online or in
magazines for current or retro trends that you
might want to incorporate
into your designs. Try visiting craft and fabric stores to find swatches or notions that could form the basis for a whole piece.
BEGIN TO DRAW
You can draw on paper, or with a
computer software. Either way, start with a
basic human form. It doesn't have to be
anatomically correct, as long as it provides a stable basis for you todesign clothing. Outline the basic shape of the garment you wish to design, starting with big ideas and adding details as you refine the drawing.
ADD COLOR
A lot of the success of your design can
depend on what colors you use. Think about
the garment's intended purpose and
how you imagine someone wearing it. Then choose your colors accordingly. Try to blend unexpected color combinations to add an element of surprise to your design.
LEARN TO SEW
Acquire basic sewing skills so that you can bring your designs to
life. Learn how to sew using patterns
so that you can eventually design your own. As your
talents progress, you might find yourselfbecoming inspired by different stitches or
techniques.
SELECT A FABRIC
Consider texture and flow of fabric
in relation to your pattern. Obtain extra
fabric as may arise with
assembly, as well as
embellishments such as buttons,
lace, beads or embroidery floss.
MAKE A PORTFOLIO
Keep a collection of designs in a
folder or notebook for
future inspiration. Consider carrying a sketchbook with
you, so that you can take down
ideas whenever they strike
