6. 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 we
wear 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 AS A PERSON’ IMAGE
7. Within the sphere of technology industries, design technology is perhaps the fastest growing
today. With new technologies emerging rapidly and industries changing complexion, more
and more job opportunities are up for the taking. It is estimated that India will have a shortfall
of five lakh people in the design sector by 2010- 11, but not all graduates will be employable.
Thus bringing the gap between talent and the skills required by the industry is important.
Today, only one in every four designers is employable and only 10% of the design graduates
manage to get employment in the design industry. Hence the students should understand the
basic requirement of the industry and exhibit that ability.
FASHION INDUSTRY
8. This is what I learnt here at
Dezyne E’cole College
Creating fashion doesn’t just
entail a vivid imagination and
instinct for creativity. It also
involves many decisions and
myriad techniques, focused on
a central idea. Dezyne E'cole
Fashion Design has made
me build a strong foundation in
terms of design sense,
conceptualisation, independent
research, creative application
and individual artistic
expression.
LEARNING EXPERIENCE
9. As a part of fashion industry I am training my self through formal education in Bachelor
Degree of Science in Fashion Technology and industry oriented diploma programme in built
with this study. During the course duration of Diploma programme I had an exposure
towards practical working in Fashion Design.
12. Color is one of the most vital tools in the hands of a Designer. It is the most perceptible
and prominent aspect of any designer, and hence is central to the success or failure of a
design scheme. It is therefore very important that a Designer has the full knowledge and
understanding of this tool.

29. For any fashion designer it is very
important to study about fabrics and its
properties.
For designing new age clothes a fashion
designer should be aware about fabric
finishes like fire repellency, water
repellency, aroma fabrics , anti wrinkled
fabrics. Of fabrics.
A small report on fabric is presented here.

32. • Nylon 6 is made by polymerising caprolactam.
• Nylon 6.6 is made by condensation polymerization of
hexamethylene diamine.
• The nylon 6 or 6.6 is melted and either extruded directly, or
converted into nylon chips for later use.
• After emerging from the spinneret, the filaments are cooled in a
cold air stream and drawn by three to fourfold in length.
INTRODUCTION
33. • Microscopic Test: Usually circular but depends on the spinneret
MICROSCOPIC TEST
34. • Burning Test: Shrinks and melts away from the flame with fibre-
forming drips. The residue is hard and uncruchable.
BURNING TEST
35. • Resistance to alkalis Nylon is resistant to alkalis and many
solvents. It is attacked by concentrated acids.
• Resistance to light: Nylon will become yellow and lose its
strength when exposed to sunlight for a longer period of time.
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
36. • Nylon is resistant to moulds and fungi. Nylon does not decompose.
BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
37. • Strength: Nylon is very strong and has excellent abrasion
resistance.
• Elasticity: Nylon is very resistant and wrinkle-resistant.
• Extensibility: Breaking extension is very high, either wet or dry.
• Luster: From matt to high luster, depending on fibre cross section
and addition of de lustrants.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
41. Fashion 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 a
great 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 the art
of pattern making.
A sloper pattern (home sewing) or block pattern (industrial production) is a custom-fitted, basic
pattern from which patterns for many different styles can be developed.
The draping method involves creating a muslin mock-up pattern by pinning fabric directly on
a form, then transferring the muslin outline and markings onto a paper pattern or using the muslin as
the pattern itself.
The flat pattern drafting method is the most commonly used method in menswear; menswear rarely
involves draping.

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

LANDMARK
48. Flat patterning begins with the creation of a sloper or block pattern, a simple, fitted
garment made to the wearer's measurements. The different ways of taking measurement
on the dress form are as follows:
Circumference measurement
Horizontal measurement
Vertical measurement
MEASURING TECHNIQUE
59. Dart manipulation introduced the slash spread and
pivotal transfer pattern making technique to transfer
dart excess from one location to another for design
variation. It is the beginning of pattern manipulating
process for generating design patterns. It requires both
artistic and technical skills to mange and control the
pattern.
There are three principles for dart manipulation.
PRINCIPLE 1
A dart may be transferred to any location around the
patterns outlines from a designated pivotal point
Without affecting the size or fit of a garment.
ONE DART SERIES
TWO DART SERIES
PRINCIPLE 2 Added fullness
To increase fabric in a garment to an amount greater
than that provided by the dart excess of the working
pattern. The length and width within the pattern’s
outline must be increased.
PRINCIPLE 3 Contouring
To fit the contours of the upper torso closer than does
the basic garment the pattern must be reduced within
its frame to fit the dimension of the body above, below
and in between the bust mounds and shoulder blades.

DART MANIPULATION
89. For any fashion designer,
fabrics 1st need to be
prepared with textures and
then used for style and
design development.
Style require plain texture
and some time textured
fabric to create better style.
Presenting few best ideas of
texture which I learned at
my study of fashion design
at Dezyne E’cole College.
108. INSPIRATION THEME
It is the time of the year again
where fashion is at its best and
fresh looks flowing in.
Experiments in terms of silhouettes
with use on shoulders, sleeves,
hemlines and colors (from bright to
sober tones) with a major focus on
patterns, shapes and prints.
109. These were inspired by gold, found in
ancient times.
Trends continued in New york and
London.

110. Translucent sheer is a semi transparent fabric.
Sheer panelling, sheer layers, and sheer
details and embroidery on sheer fabrics
have been spotted in abundance.
Some designers who used this are David
Koma and Jill Stuart, Temperly London and
Micheal Van Der Ham
TRANSLUCENT SHEER
111. PANELS AND STRIPES
It is something different panels in a single pattern.
Horizontal and vertical fabrics put
together create a clean structured
panelling effect.
None summer catwalks ever
go without use of stripes.
StripesPanels
Stripes are less colorful falling
back into a Neutral color pallet
with accent of red to Lift the
look.
112. INDIAN INFLUENCES
India, becoming a major influence
for many Prints, silhouettes and
embelishments.
Dresses and gowns by Vera Wang
showed influence from saree style.
113. New cocoon sleeve added substance to a dress.
Burberry Prorsum use sleeves which are stiff
and stood cut in perfect bottle-shape.
Cape shoulder became a new
point of attraction in a garment.
Burberry Prorsum and Altuzarra
interpreted the pattern in their dresses.

COCOON SLEEVES AND CAPE SHOULDER
114. PEEK- A- BOO (CUT OUTS)
Cut –out detail is again one of the
hottest trend of summer.
Christopher Kane mixed feminine
colors with cut- out details.
