How to make a fashion collection?
Making a fashion collection for the new society these days can be really hard. In fact, designing a collection is way harder than you think. Most people think the opposite. Some people say sketching and sewing are the easiest things to do and some people live for fashion. In fashion, you need to know who is your audience, what trends are in, will people buy your clothing, and why is your collection special than others. Critiques are everywhere and they so judge about the design, fabric, even how the clothing is sowed. We need to care about fashion because we need to know how the design from a single sketch is made. How the fabric transfers to a skirt or a dress.

If it's going to be fall or spring or if the colors are black, blue, red, etc. The designing process comes in hand right after you think about the season and color story you want to work with. For example, I will pick fall 2017, “A night out with the stars” and my color story is blue and black. I take out my sketchbook and I start sketching. You must choose how many designs you want your collection to have. If it's 4, 6, 8. I am choosing 8 for now and you can always add to your collection later. You have to color in the designs because you need to know what type of fabric and color to use. I will ensure you-you will not know what type of fabric to use until you color the designs in. Once you are done sketching, make sure you look at all the outfits that are sketched and see if the designs and the color story matches with the collections name. Remember you don’t want your designs not to match your collections name cause, in the end, the critiques will judge you. I sketched out a dress, coat, skirt and a blouse. Now look at your designs and think what type of fabric you want to use. Taking a trip down to the fabric store before or after you make your designs is very helpful just to see how the fabric feels to get an idea. Always get extra fabric if you mess up. Once you choose your fabrics out, all of the other materials such as mannequins (must order different …show more content…
In every design, you have to go one by one so first I’m going to start out with sewing the dress. When you get your mannequins, start sizing the mannequins with a measuring tape. Not everyone is the same size so it's better that you have different size mannequins to measure the size. Put the fabric on the mannequin and start sizing. You will definitely have more fabric which is better than having less. That will be a nightmare! On time I got one yard of green cotton fabric and I kept on messing up. I had to go back all the way to the fabric store to get more fabric which isn’t a smart idea to make. Better to have more fabric than less. Plus, maybe in the end if you have extra fabric you will make a headband or use the fabric on something else. Don’t forget about your designs! Always look at your designs before and while you are sewing. Remember the designs are coming from the designs you drew not from the fabric. After you sized the mannequin with the fabric, use the tailor’s chalk to outline the lines you want to sow. Again cut the unnecessary fabric out so you have the space to sow. Lay the fabric on the table and you always have to put pins in the fabric to sow. Once you have put all the pins in your fabric, it’s time to sow! I usually go slow on the sewing machine because I had multiple accidents by going to fast and hurting
Victorian Fashion refers to the styles and clothing worn before and during the Civil War era of the United States, 1860-1900. This era was filled with a very difficult way of dressing oneself and to deviate from this line of dress was unheard of, and worthy of being outcaste. Victorian women’s clothing was layers, heavy, and barely manageable to even wear. Many different articles made up the full garment such as the undergarments, the skirt, top, shoes, accessories, and even the hair. How did women ready themselves for the day in this era and how did they deal with all the cumbersome attire?
The 1920’s was an era of dramatic political and cultural change, where many Americans lived in cities rather than farms. Many inventors came to be noticed as new cars were invented and as music entered the entertainment industry. A new style of music was invented mainly in the African American community, creating the Harlem Renaissance; which was an evolution of music and entertainment in Harlem, New York City. The women of America began to evolve in the 1920s, adding new styles to our fashion industry and changing the way women dress, act, and are portrayed in society for generations. Women were viewed before the 1920’s as innocent housewives, that made little to no money, as they often relied on their husbands’ for income. Women also

On the twenty-first of August, our Wearable History class took a trip to downtown Bowling Green, to visit Mosaic Confinement Studio. The studio had an old-fashioned vibe, and was like a vintage-garment haven. There, we were asked to choose a piece that we thought was vintage, identify the time period it actually came from, and also take some additional notes on the style and the garment’s details. After searching through multiple racks, the first piece I found was a lace blazer. It turned out to only be vintage-inspired, so I went searching again. I came across a few other pieces, but nothing was really jumping out at me. Eventually, I came across a lavender dress that immediately made me think of Julia Roberts in “Mystic Pizza”, and I knew I found my garment.
The Renaissance time period started in the late 14th century and it lasted all through the 16th century. It all started in the late Middle ages throughout Italy (http://fashionhistory.net) taking at least one-hundred years before it reached the Northern Alps. This was also the period where the word “European” was put in use and understood by other places, and the word “Renascrere” originated from the Italian word “Renascrere” and it meant to be re-born. The word Renascrere fitted perfectly to this age due to the fact that many had intellectual pursuits and creative energy was re-born (www.richeast.org). The Renaissance would be best known for its artistic aspect and famous polymaths as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo given the term “Renaissance men.” It was an effective cultural and development of perspective in painting movement spreading to the rest of Europe and the advancements in science.

Fashion is a form people use as a way for self expression. For me, fashion dictates how a person sense of style is; some may be bold and loud or simple and calm in which it also gives others an outlook on how their character may be. Although fashion is a way to express ones’ sense of style it does not tells us who the person is personally. Fashion in the society of the 1900s has changed female gender roles then and now by the way their roles changed during the time.
Fashion was culturally formed, and there is a close relationship between art and fashion. The first designer who had his label sewn into a garment he created was Charles Frederick Worth (1825-1895). In the 1840s, adult women adopted a variation on girls' pantalettes as an undergarment. (Toccata: March 2010 toccatamundi.blogspot.com

In post-war Britain, the role of women was beginning to change from the social normality. In this era, it was suddenly expected of women to do the jobs their husband was unable to do, as they were out in war. Their roles in society shifted from housewife and domestic caregiver, to female factory worker. This proved somewhat positive as women discovered their strength and intelligence that had before been hidden under their oppression. It is in this era, fashion photography aimed to explore the independence and business side of a woman, while maintaining her femininity. To discuss the representation of women in a post-war society, I will specifically look at the works of Norman Parkinson, notably the image titled The Art of Travel.
Cosplay has allowed people from all walks of life to create works of art. Individuals learn how to design, sew, and construct full costumes to bring their favorite character to life.

Cosplayers learn different skills that they might not otherwise have learned. Skills such as casting and molding, embroidering, wig styling and makeup work. For example: The cosplay duo, Cowbutt Crunchies focus on every detail of their costumes, ranging from prop fabrication to wig construction. A flawless costume can launch a casual cosplayer into internet fame.
The main problem which was needed to overcome was the selection of the fabric. Due to sustainable principle, I tried best to find the most sustainable fabrics; however, it was full of challenge. 100% silk organza, 100% silk taffeta and 100% Merino wool which were essential in my project were hard to discover in the fabric market in the UK. After consideration, I decided to order these expensive fabrics from China and finally sorted out the problem.

You can make your own schedule, personally control your finances, and essentially have complete control of your business Of course upon this realization; I came to the conclusion that I was going to be my own boss. I have always taken pride in how I present myself including how I dress. The limitless nature of fashion and its versatility has always intrigued me.
