2. CASE STUDY

3. To make my portfolio the college has provided case study.
CASE STUDY
• You are supposed to design a collection for a young women of the age group 24 – 26 for resort
wear ( casual wear ).
• The student has to clearly state about their collection.

4. MARKET OF MY
COLLECTION
Haute couture
Pret a porter
Mass market
I had concentrate on the pret a porter
(ready to wear) market in which I am
suppose to design a resort wear for a
women.

5. COLLECTION
According to my case study I studied about the resort wear ( casual wear) and make certain points
which needed in my collection that is the garment should be comfortable, body movement should
be easy and de – emphasis the body curves.
After making these points I studied about the fashion history timeline in which I got inspired from
the Egyptian time period and I have taken certain points for my collection that is the pleats and
papyrus flower motif.
I have taken the pleats because it is provide “freedom of movement” which is needed in my
resort wear collection. For this I researched about the various pleats which creates different
texture on the fabric.
Another point which is important in my collection is de – emphasis the female body structure.
When I was studied the fashion history I noticed that women in early time used to wear ‘Cape’ as a
outer garment and from early time cape is used to “de – emphasis the female body structure.”
Now days cape is also use as a fashion statement.
• Points which is important for this collection :-

When I was studying about the fashion designers who got inspired form the Egyptian time period and
create collection. I saw Alessandra Meskita’s collection on resort wear which attracts me. This
collection was showcased in New York fashion week Spring-Summer collection 2013.
Alessandra Meskita grew up in Brazil. In 2007, she began her
fashion career working under French designer Christian
Audigier. While working for four years as his Global Creative
Director, Meskita developed her use of traditional shapes and
tailoring. Meskita then decided to take everything she learned
and branch out to create her own clothing line, MESKITA, in
2012,
Meskita is the designer of her self-titled fashion and lifestyle
brand, MESKITA. The line consists of ready-to-wear, resort,
lingerie, swimwear, shoes and household accessories. Meskita’s
designs focus on simple concepts and natural elements
