In the process of designing clothes, different components and elements work hand in hand to create a work of art. These elements are:
1) Material of fabric
A clothing designer chooses the material of fabric according to the type of design and according to the needs, feelings and interests of the customer. The season and weather conditions are also an important factor in choosing the fabric. All these points help the clothing designer to choose the most suitable type among hundreds and maybe even thousands of types of fabric. 2) Fabric printing Next After choosing the fabric, it is time to choose the fabric design. The seasons have an important influence on the choice of fabric color and theme. Clothing designers usually choose light colors for spring and summer, and dark fabrics are often used for sewing winter clothes. 3) Design and decoration of clothes
Many clothes such as women's evening dresses, wedding dresses and all kinds of formal dresses need decorations such as embroidery, stone embroidery, beadwork, etc. Using these decorations instead helps a lot to make the dress more beautiful.
4) Pattern
The basis of the formation of a dress is the pattern. The parts that fit together like a puzzle and form the overall appearance of the dress. Therefore, a clothing designer must also be a professional pattern designer.
5) Measurement
Designing a perfect pattern depends on the designer's accurate measurement. That's why accuracy in measurement is one of the most important things that no design should ignore.
6) Research in fashion
A clothing designer And professional fashion never remains unaware of the changes in the field of fashion and clothing. The world of fashion is innovating and changing every second. Therefore, researching and reading up-to-date articles is one of the important and constructive elements in the process of designing clothes.
💠 Types of clothing design 💠
In general, the art of clothing design is used in two main areas: 1. Custom sewing or haute couture/exclusive production In the term "aut couture", "aut" means top and "couture" means tailoring. A term meaning "high level sewing". As the name suggests, this type of clothing design is custom made for special people such as artists, politicians and famous people. Of course, it's not only famous people who use designers in the field of custom sewing, but many people also turn to custom sewing to have their own personal style. Designers who work in this sector prepare clothes that fit the size of the person in question. It is not surprising that the price tag is not used for these clothes. Because it is clear that for such customers, the price does not matter at all. It should be mentioned that in the field of fashion, every year at the beginning of the new fashion season (January and July), at least 50 types of clothing designs (from day and night clothes) are displayed for special customers.
2. Ready-to-wear or machine-made clothing (Ready to wear/ RTW)
In this department, clothing design is done using standard sizes for mass production of clothing. These clothes are being prepared for sale to the general public. That is, the same clothes that most of us buy from stores and masons. Clothes that are not tailored for you and you may see many people wearing similar clothes. Of course, remember that this does not detract from your values! As we said, designers of ready-to-wear clothes use standard sizes, and that's why these clothes usually don't need to be trimmed or changed after sewing. In this section, standard patterns, sewing machines and sewing techniques and rapid production are used. For this reason, the costs and the final price are much lower than the custom sewing department. Of course, some maisons like the famous brand Bread & Butter, although they design a limited number of clothes, they are placed in the ready-to-wear design category in the field of fashion and design. You should know that ready-to-wear design is divided into two categories: 1) Design section 2) mass production sector
that the design department has a higher quality than mass production and they are presented to advertise the mass production department.
