6. What is collection
A Collection Is A Range Of Garments , Accessories Or
Products That Are Designed And Produced For Sale To
Retailers Or Direct To Customers . This Range Of
Pieces May Be Inspired By A Trend , Theme Or Design
Direction Reflecting Cultural And Social Influences , And
It Is Usually Designed For A Season Or Particular
Occasion . A Collection Is A Grouping Of Outfits Or
Looks That Are Presented In A Variety Of Ways , From
Catwalk Presentations To Online Web Pages.
Collections Are Usually Constructed From A
Combination Of Silhouette's , Colors And Fabrics With
The Emphasis Varying Depending On The Designer’s
Particular Aesthetic.

7. COLLECTION AND THEIR
INFLUENCE
It is possible to group or identify common themes in
fashion , those which influence the creative process in
developing a collection , or how we choose to wear
clothes . Recurring influence include traditional costume
, active sports , work wear , the military , politics and
futurism .
Each new collection can explore a subtle redefinition of
these recurring influences through the use of color ,
fabrics , proportion and juxtaposition . Many designers
establish successful brands based on a visual identity
that celebrates a particular theme.

9. Conceptual influences
The origins of contemporary , conceptual fashion may
well be credited to the Japanese designers rei
kawakuboo, yohji yamamoto and issey miyake . For
decades,these designers have been producing the most
intriguing , provocative fashion by creating new ways of
cutting and constructing . Conceptual collections are
often beautiful , timeless agekess and dislocated from
most visual narratives ; however , they can also be to
challenging , abstract or unrelenting in identity ,
diminishing their influence on fashion trends.

• Yohji yamamoto
• Issey miyake
• Hussein chlayan
• Helmut lang
• Joil sander

10. FORM AND FUNCTION
Functional garments , such as military wear expedition
clothing , have long influenced fashion designers .
Menswear in particular continues to reference iconic
military garments , workwear and utility clothing , being
updated in fabric , color and details.
Military clothing has informed fashion partly due to the
performance and ergonomic considerations of the
wearer’s activities and environment , as its over look

11. WORKWEAR
The Origin for This Source And an Aesthetic Is Arguably
Levi Struss, Who In The Late 1800s Created The First
Work Overalls Using Twill Cotton From Nimes , In
France . This Twill Cotton – Denim Has Since Been
Popularized By Nearly Every Known Designer And An
Infinite Number Of Manufacturers Across The World . In
Music , A Film , Politics , Youth Culture And High – End
Fashion , Denim Is Used As A Basis Upon Which
Unlimited Fashion Stories Can Be Created .
The Cloth ‘S Traditional Construction Details Can Be
Reworked With Endless Possibilities : It Is Ageless ,
Global And Accessible To Every Social Group . When
Asked If Their Was A Garment He Whished He Had
Created , Yves Saint Laurent Answered ‘ The Blur Jean’.

12. SPORTSWEAR
In The Early 1980s American Designer Norma Kamali
Launched A Fashion Business Celebrating The Use Of
Tradition Sweat Shirting As A Fashion Fabric . This
Proved Successful At A Time When Exercise And
Healthier Lifestyles Were Beginning To Dictated A New
Style Of Clothing . Companies Have Been Swift To
Collaborate With A Number Of Fashion And Product
Designers To Raise Consumer’s Awareness Of
Sportswear As A Credible , Lifestyle Fashion Atatement .
For Example, Sportswear Brand Puma Has Collaborated
With Designers Such As Alexander Mcqueen .Fred
Perry Has Worked With Comme Des Garcons In
Refreshing The Iconic Sports Polo Shirt And Adidas Has
Successfully Created Y3 With Yohji Yamaoto , To Include
Full Catwalk Presentation Of This Sports Wear And
Fashion Fusion.
DESIGNERS
• NORMA KAMALI
• YOHJI YAMAMOTO
• ALEXANDER MCQUCEEN

13. FUTURISTIC INFLUENCES
The Us Designer Geoffrey Beene Is Regarded As A
Futurist : In The Late 1990s He Decided To No Longer
Use Historical References On The Basis That Too Many
Designers Over-depend On Them, Restricting Their
Development As Innovative Designers. He Was
Responsible For Redefining Modern Womenswear As
We Know It Today.
In The 1950s And 1960s French Designer Pierre Cardin
, Alomg With His Contemporaries Andre’ Courre’ges And
Paco Rabanne , Designed Futuristic Space- Age
Fashion , Which Referenced Science Fiction Rather
Than Historical And Traditional Sources.
DESIGNERS
• GEOFFERY BEENE
• PIERRE CARDIN
• ANDRE’ COURRE’GES

14. HOW
GLOBAL INFLUENCE
Since 1960s International Travel Has Become Affordable
And Accessible To The Majority Of The Developed World
. This Has Greatly Influenced Our Knowledge; How We
Can Furnish Our Homes; Choice In The Foods We Eat ;
And How We Dress.Ever Since Yves Saint Laurent First
Showed the Moroccan Jellabah In The 1970s Designers
And Fashion Consumers Have Understood The Value
And Attraction Of Exotic, Unusual Garments, Fabrics
And Accessories .
DESIGNERS
• YVES SAINT LAURENT

15. POLITICAL INFLUENCES
Fashion Reflects Society And Designers Will
Oftenreference Political Changes In Their Collections .
Messages Through The Cloyhes That We Wear Can Be
Subversive Or Can Be A Bold Statement To Creat A
Reaction . Kathrine Hammett Famously Did This When
She Invented The Slogan T-shirt In The 1980s.
DESIGNERS
• KATHARINE HAMETT
• JEREMY SCOTT
• ALEXENDER MCQUEEN
• JEAN CHARLES

16. ARCHIVISM
In A Fashion Context , Arcivism Refers To The Way In
Which Designers Look Back To Previous Collections For
Inspiration . In Particular , The Original Aesthetic Of A
Well – Established Label May Be Revisited Decades
Later , With Collections Refining The Same Design
Influences And Detailing. These Fashion Sources
Fluctuate In Importance And Influence Due To Trend
Directions And Fashion’s Ever – Changing Aesthetics.
Many Designers Change Direction From Season To
Season Or Combine Additional Source Materials And
Influences To Refresh Their Signatures Or Styles.
DESIGNERS
• KARL LAGERFELD
• EMILIO PUCCI

17. CASE STUDY
As A Designer My Way Of Thinking Is That
The Collection Should Be Wearable Or Not
But That Must Have A Long Journey Of
Thought Process . I Make A Capsule
Collection . My Client Is Hypothetical .

20. WHAT IS STRING ART ?
The inspiration for my collection is
string art . String art or pin and thread
art is characterized by an arrangement
of colored thread string between points
to form geometric pattern or
representational design .

21. INSPIRATION
STRING ART
As I was so much fascinated with string art used by various artists,
I have taken this art onto the dress . Before this I have learnt seen
anyone taking this decorating art onto the surface of a dress .
Their structure inspired me the most.
I have taken this art relating the problems the we face in our lives
for example: its structure which we can related with the life
problems and its pattern too, shows that one can also be happy
with so many problems in life we just have to deal with it. This art
depicts the present life which has many problems but with
patience we can solve them and can live a happy life .if we all
fights with these problems , we all become more strong and
successful in our life .
