An Introductory Course In Fashion Design

The locus of a point is called a line, which plays a coherent role in space.

The line is divided into two categories: straight line and curve. It has length, thickness, location and direction.

Different lines give people different feelings.

For example, the horizontal line is calm and stable, the curve is soft and round, and the straight line has a sense of direction.

At the same time, by changing the length of the line, a sense of depth can be generated.

In clothing, lines can be represented as contour lines, scissors, provincial lines, pleat lines, decorative lines, and fabric lines.

The formation of the form beauty of clothing reveals the creativity and expressive power of the outlet everywhere.

French Dior (Dior) is a world-renowned fashion designer with unique views in the design of clothing lines. He has launched the famous fashion contour A lines, H lines, S lines and tulips lines, which has caused a sensation in fashion circles.

In the design process, ingeniously changing the length, thickness and shade proportion of the line will produce rich and colorful forms.

The moving traces of the 3. sides make up the surface.

The mask has two dimensional properties, including plane and curved surface.

The surface can be divided into square, circle, triangle, polygon, irregular irregular shape according to the form of the line.

Different shapes have different characteristics.

For example, a triangle has a sense of instability, and a casual shape has a sense of random liveliness.

The combination of the surface and the surface, and the overlap and rotation of the surface and the surface will form new faces. The segmentation of the face can be divided into several following ways: direct segmentation, cross section segmentation, oblique plane segmentation and corner segmentation.

In the garment, the different shapes of the garment and the lines of the lines and decorative lines produce different shapes of faces. At the same time, the planes presented by different combinations, overlaps and crossover will produce different shapes and shapes.

At the same time, the layout, combination and overlap of faces are rich and colorful.

Their proportion, mechanism and color, as well as the different application of decorative methods can produce different styles of costume art.

The 4. body is made up of the combination of the surface and the surface, with the concept of three-dimensional space.

Different forms of body have different personalities. At the same time, from different angles, the body will also show different visual forms.

Body is the basic element in fashion design from beginning to end.

We must establish a complete concept of three-dimensional form.

On the one hand, the design of clothing should conform to the shape of the human body and the needs of the human body in motion. On the other hand, the creative design of the body can also make the clothes distinctive.

For example, Lssey Miyake, a famous Japanese Fashion Designer (LsseyMiyalci), is known as the representative figure in the world fashion industry for its creation of a strong sense of sculpture in the design, and his ingenious application of body in clothing has formed his own unique design style.

Five, the three elements of clothing design and the concept of the overall beauty of clothing.

Modeling, color and material are three elements of fashion design.

(1) type and

The shape of clothing can be divided into external modeling and internal modeling. The outer shape mainly refers to the outline silhouette of the garment, and the interior design refers to the style of the garment, including the structure line, provincial road, collar type, bag type and so on.

The appearance of clothing is the main body of the design, the interior design should conform to the overall appearance style characteristics, and the inside and outside shape should complement each other.

It is necessary to avoid the outward style and pursue the inner sculpt, because this will play a negative effect on the competition.

1. outside garments

Design

As a visual art, fashion design can give people a deep impression. In the overall design of clothing, shape design is of primary importance.

The outline of clothing can be summarized into four basic types: A, H, X and Y.

A variety of changes can be produced on the basis of the basic form. A variety of changes can be generated. Based on the A model, the layout of the tent line and speaker line can be changed, and the H, Y, and X models can also be modified to produce a more interesting contour.

The change of contour is the distinctive feature of the evolution of popular styles, such as the tent shaped 1950s, the wine cup in 60s, the inverted triangle in 70s, the rectangle in the late 70s and early 80s, and the wide shoulders, low waist and round inverted triangle in recent years, as shown in Figure 1-9.

Designers should be sensitive to observation and analytical ability, so as to predict or guide future trends.

Even though the exterior styles of clothes are ever-changing, they are inseparable from the basic form of the human body, and the main parts of the shape change are shoulder, waist and bottom.

For example, waist is the most important part of clothing modeling. Waist tightness and waist line are the main factors that affect the shape.

The change from loose waist to tight waist can directly affect the change of garment modeling from H to X, H type is free and concise, while X is slim and slim.

Different waist height changes can form high waistline, middle waist type, low waist style clothing, etc. the waist height changes can directly change the proportion of clothing segmentation, and express different dress appeal.

2. interior design of garments

The interior design of clothing mainly includes: structure line, collar type, sleeve type and parts design.

The structural line of clothing has the characteristics of shaping the garment appearance, suitable for human body shape and convenient processing. It has important significance in the design of clothing structure. In a sense, the design of garment structure is the design of structural line.

The structural line of clothing refers to the line that represents the overall shape of the garment, which includes the provincial line, the pleat and the cutting line and the decorative line.

No matter whether the structural lines are simplified or not, they can be classified into three types: straight line, arc curve and curve.

Since the human body is composed of uneven surfaces, the excess parts must be collected to show the three-dimensional effect on the fabric of the plane. In addition to using the plasticity of the fabric to damp heat, the general purpose is to achieve this purpose through the setting of the provincial road and the pleat.

The province is sutured and fixed. According to the different location, it is divided into chest, waist, shoulder, back, buttock and so on.

Among them, chest is the most important and important factor in women's clothing.

According to the change of styles, there are different forms of thorax Province, which can be pferred by the two methods of prototype dumping and folding.

For example, the method of scissor folding is used to cut the place from the place where the collection is located to the chest Province. With the point of the chest as the dot and the folding armpit, the dart can pfer the position of the cutting line and complete the pfer of the thorax province.

The pleat is static when it is disturbed, and when the body moves, it is more varied and dynamic than the province. The design of the pleat is mainly based on decoration, and there are three kinds of pleat, fine crepe and natural fold.

The function of the editing line is to start from the beauty of shape, divide the clothes into several parts, and then sew them into garments, so as to fit the body beautiful.

The editing line can be divided into six basic forms: vertical segmentation, horizontal segmentation, slash segmentation, arc segmentation, arc segmentation and asymmetric segmentation.

According to the different design of clothing structure

The style and posture characteristics, ingenious application of provincial pleat and cutting line, fully considering the unity and coordination of internal and external structural lines, can make the costume modeling more rich and varied.

The structure design of clothing also includes collar and sleeve design.

Collar is a vital part of clothing. It is not only functional but also decorative. Its main components are: collar shape, collar height, the shape of the fold line, the shape of the contour and the decoration of the collar.

Collar type is the most varied component, mainly including four types: collar, fold collar, flat collar and barge collar.

The shoulder sleeve modeling is also rich. Its modeling includes two parts: armhole and sleeve. The common sleeve types can be divided into three categories: shoulder sleeves, sleeves and continuous sleeves. The design of collar and sleeve should conform to the overall form of clothing and the characteristics of human temperament.

The design of parts in clothing structure mainly includes pocket design, button design, decoration design and so on. The decorative techniques commonly used in decoration design include embroidery, inlay, inlay, roll, swing, plate and so on.

Fashion design

Scientists have pointed out that people's sensitivity to color is far more sensitive than form, so the status of color in costume design is very important.

In the study of color application in fashion design, we must first understand some basic knowledge of color.

1. the basic knowledge of color is colourful in the world, but it can not be separated from the three basic colors of red, yellow and green. The three colors can not be matched by other colors, so they are called "primary colors".

A color formed by blending two primary colors is called "intermediate color", such as red and yellow tones, orange, yellow and green tones.

The two "intermediate colors" or primary colors are combined with the tones to form a compound color.

Ever-changing colors can be divided into two categories: color system and non color system.

All levels of grey, black, white and black and white tones belong to a non coloured system.

White is the highest level of brightness, and black is the lowest level of brightness.

All colors other than the color system belong to the color system.

The color of the color system consists of three elements: hue, lightness and purity.

Hue: the names of different colors are called hue, such as scarlet, lake blue, middle yellow and so on. Hue is the most important feature of color.

According to the hue order, the color phase loops can be arranged in a circular fashion.

The ever-changing color world.

The difference is the primary factor.

Lightness: it is the property of the change of color and shade, caused by the difference in the amount of light reflected by various colored objects.

Purity: also known as chroma and saturation, is a kind of color contains the purity of color.

The red, orange, yellow, green, green and purple are the standard pure colors.

The higher the purity, the brighter and brighter the color.

2. color and clothing design are strongly reflective of colors, but they do not think alike about colors.

Therefore, the choice and collocation of colors in clothing design should take full account of different factors such as age, character, self-cultivation, interest and temperament of different objects, and take into account different people's emotional responses to colors under the influence of different social, political, economic, cultural, artistic, customs and traditional habits.

For example, in the past dynasties, Huang Dynasty advocated yellow, and believed that yellow was the symbol of heaven and earth.

And yellow is considered a traitor in Judah's Christian country.

The color is a symbol of despicable and shameful.

Therefore, the color design of clothing should be targeted positioning design.

In the design, the form of color combination is directly related to the shaping of the overall style of clothing.

Designers can use a combination of high contrast color to express the passionate tropical customs, and can also express the elegant and simple style of clothing through a group of low coloured combinations. The most commonly used methods of color matching in clothing design are four kinds of color matching, approximate color matching, contrast color matching and relative color matching.

(1) color matching of the same kind of clothing: the matching of the same color is carried out through the same hue in different colors.

(2) approximate color matching for clothing: approximate color matching refers to the matching of colors within the 90 degree range of the hue ring, giving people a sense of moderate coordination.

Compared with the same color matching, the color sense is more varied, so its application in clothing is wider than that of similar colors.

(3) contrasting color matching for clothing: contrast color matching refers to the color matching in the range of 120 to 180 degrees on the hue ring. The clothing style is bright and bright, and is used in the design of sportswear, children's clothing and performance clothes.

(4) relative color matching of clothing: relative color matching refers to the matching of two relative colors at 180 degrees on the hue ring.

The effect is stronger than that of contrast.

In the relative color matching, we should pay attention to the primary and secondary relations, and at the same time, add the intermediate color to make the contrast more interesting.

Three

In the field of costume design and clothing, fashion consciousness has always been advocated. The application of fashionable colors in clothing is the pursuit of color fashion, highlighting the aesthetic characteristics of modern life.

Color has a distinctive sense of the times and fashion.

With its sharp insight, color experts have summarized and refined the fashionable colors from the consumer market, and become popular through the announcement.

At present, the international fashion Committee has two regular meetings each year to predict the trend of spring and autumn and winter, and publicize them through popular media such as popular color cards, fashion magazines and textile samples.

In modern fashion design, the application of popular colors is more extensive, and the combination of fashionable styles and popular colors is increasingly close.

Therefore, designers carefully analyze and study the law of the popular color cycle, grasp the popular opportunity, and timely launch fashionable clothes that meet people's aesthetic requirements, so as to expand market sales.

(three) fabric and clothing design

Fabric is the material of clothing production. It can be divided into three categories: fiber products, leather fur products and other products.

In order to achieve good results in garment design, we must give full play to the performance and characteristics of the fabrics, so that the fabric features and the style and style of the clothes will be perfectly integrated and complement each other.

Therefore, understanding the basic knowledge of appearance and performance of different fabrics, such as mechanism weave, pattern, molding, drapability and warmth retention, is the basic premise for garment design.

With the progress of science and technology and the development of processing technology, materials that can be used to make garments are changing with each passing day. Different materials have different characteristics in modeling styles.

Here we will briefly introduce the characteristics of different material fabrics and their application in clothing design.

1. soft type

Soft fabrics are generally light and draping, with smooth lines and natural outline.

The soft fabric mainly includes fabric knitted fabric and silk fabric and soft and thin ramie fabric.

Soft knitted fabrics often use straight line and concise sculpt to embody the graceful curve of human body in clothing design. Silk, ramie and other fabrics are more loose and pleat shaped, showing the flow sense of fabric lines.

2., the material is very clear and has a sense of volume. It can form a full outline of garments.

Cotton fabrics, polyester cotton cloth, corduroy, linen and all kinds of medium and heavy woollen and chemical fiber fabrics are commonly used. These fabrics can be used to highlight the accuracy of clothing design, such as suits and suits.

3. the glossy fabric glossy fabric has smooth surface and reflects light.

These fabrics include satin weave fabrics.

Most commonly used in evening gowns or stage costumes, a brilliant visual effect is produced.

The glossy fabric has a wide range of freedom in the performance of the dress, which can be concise or exaggerated.

4. thick and heavy

Thick and heavy fabrics are thick and shave, which can produce stable styling effect, including all kinds of thick woolen fabrics and quilted fabrics.

Its fabric has a sense of physical expansion. It is not suitable to use pleats and piling too much. The design of A and H is the most appropriate.

5. pparent fabric pparent fabric is light and pparent, with elegant and mysterious artistic effect.

It includes cotton, silk, chemical fiber fabrics, such as George, satin stripes, synthetic fiber lace and so on.

In order to express the pparency of fabrics, commonly used lines are naturally plump and full of varied H and round table designs.

In addition to accurately grasping the fabric performance and making the fabric performance fully play its role in the garment, designers should also try to create new fabrics or explore the use areas of fabrics according to the trend of fashion trends.

(four) the concept of overall beauty of clothing

With the change of ideas, the individual clothing decoration designs were gradually replaced by the whole design.

Modern people dress more about the overall aesthetic of clothing and clothing.

Therefore, in the design process, besides the creativity of the three elements of clothing type, color and fabric, we should also take into account the combination of costume and accessories.

Clothing accessories include: hat, gloves, scarves, bags, hair accessories, necklaces, earrings, hand decorations, buttons, neckties, shoes, belts and so on.

In addition to their important functions, they should also be in harmony with the style of clothing. Decorations play a supporting role in matching, finishing and finishing.

Sometimes the design of clothes and accessories has become the main object, and the emphasis is on the lustrous clothing.

It is concluded that the main functions of costume accessories for the overall costume show in the following two aspects:

1. emphasizes that by choosing the right clothing accessories, we can enhance the artistic style of clothing, such as the application of Ruyi button in modern clothing, which can strengthen the Chinese style of clothing; the cold light metal ornaments strengthen the modern technology sense of clothing and so on.

2., it is always possible to rectify and improve the clothing's shape or color in the visual effect.

In terms of color, it can be shown that the tone of clothing is too dull.

In the form design, when the center of gravity of the garment is offset, it can be used to balance the jewelry to achieve a static and moving artistic aesthetic feeling.
