Elements of Garment Design
2020-12-11 11:38
In creating a design one of the components that interact is the element of design. The element and principles of design are flexible and should be interpreted within the context of current fashion. A design can be defined as an arrangement of lines, shape, colors, and texture that create a visual image. The principles of design are the rates that govern how elements are combined. The elements are therefore the raw materials that must be combined successfully.
Colour
Colour is the first element to which consumers respond, often selecting or rejecting a garment because of its color appeal. Therefore, designers must consider their customers and provide colors that are both appealing and flattering. People connect certain colors with holidays and seasons. They expect to see earth tones in fall clothing, jewel colors for the holidays, the pastels of flowers in the early spring, and refreshing white for the summer. All manufacturers include some of these colors in their lines
Fabric
Colour is interpreted in the medium of the fabric. Fabrics are the designer’s artistic medium, in that fashion design is essentially sculpture in fabric in relation to the body.
Fabric selection
Is the selection or creation of an appropriate style for a fabric, or the reverse, the selection of the right fabric for the design. Next to understanding the needs of the customer and interpreting trends for them, choosing the fabric suitable for a particular style is one of the most important aspects of designing. The designer chooses fabrics on the basis of fashion trends, quality, performance, price, and suitability.
Fabrics themselves inspire garment design. For example, the softness and drivability of jersey might inspire gather in a dress. Other designers work the other way around, first getting an idea, perhaps developing it in a sketch, and then finding the appropriate fabric for it. However the designer works, he or she must ultimately decide which fabric will work best with a design, or vice versa. Designers must develop the ability to picture a design already made up in the fabric, this ability comes through observation and experience.
