What is Fashion Designing?

Fashion design is a form of art dedicated to the creation of clothing and other lifestyle
accessories. Modern fashion design is divided into two basic categories: haute couture and
ready-to-wear. The haute couture collection is dedicated to certain customers and is custom
sized to fit these customers exactly. In order to qualify as a haute couture house, a designer
has to be part of the Syndical Chamber for Haute Couture and show a new collection twice a
year presenting a minimum of 35 different outfits each time
Ready-to-wear collections are standard sized, not custom made, so they are more suitable for
large production runs. They are also split into two categories: designer/createur and
confection collections. Designer collections have a higher quality and finish as well as an
unique design. They often represent a certain philosophy and are created to make a statement
rather than for sale. Both ready-to-wear and haute-couture collections are presented on
international catwalks.
Fashion designers work in a variety of different ways when designing their pieces and
accessories such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings. Due to the time required to put a
garment out in market, designers must anticipate changes to consumer desires. Fashion
designers are responsible for creating looks for individual garments, involving shape, color,
fabric, trimming, and more.
Designers conduct research on fashion trends and interpret them for their audience. Their
specific designs are used by manufacturers. This is the essence of a designer's role; however,
there is variation within this that is determined by the buying and merchandising approach.
When thinking of product quality control budget retailers use inexpensive fabrics to have a
quick turn around on production, but high-end retailers will ensure that the best available
fabrics are used and lots of time is utilized.

Fashion designers attempt to design clothes which are functional as well as aesthetically
pleasing. They consider who is likely to wear a garment and the situations in which it will be
worn, and they work within a wide range of materials, colors, patterns and styles. Though
most clothing worn for everyday wear falls within a narrow range of conventional styles,
unusual garments are usually sought for special occasions such as evening wear or party
dresses.
Some clothes are made specifically for an individual, as in the case of haute couture or
bespoke tailoring. Today, most clothing is designed for the mass market, especially casual and
every-day wear are called ready to wear or known as fast fashion.

Structure
Fashion designers may work full-time for one fashion house, as 'in-house designers', which
owns the designs, or they work alone or as part of a team. Freelance designers work for
themselves, selling their designs to fashion houses, directly to shops, or to clothing
manufacturers. Most fashion designers set up their own labels, under which their designs are
marketed. While others are self-employed and design for individual clients. Other high-end
fashion designers cater to specialty stores or high-end fashion department stores. These
designers create original garments, as well as those that follow established fashion trends.
Most fashion designers, however, work for apparel manufacturers, creating designs of men's,
women's, and children's fashions for the mass market. Large designer brands which have a
'name' as their brand such as Abercrombie & Fitch, Justice, or Juicy are likely to be designed
by a team of individual designers under the direction of a design director.

Designing a garment
Fashion designers work in different ways. Some sketch their ideas on paper, while others
drape fabric on a dress form, another term for mannequin. Some designers work along with
certain apps that can help connect all ideas together and expand their thoughts on a design.
When a designer is completely satisfied with the fit of the toile (or muslin), they will consult a
professional pattern maker who then makes the finished, working version of the pattern out of
card or via a computer program. Finally, a sample garment is made up and tested on a model
to make sure it is an operational outfit. Fashion design is expressive, the designers create art
that may be functional or non-functional.

History
Fashion design is generally considered to have started in the 19th century with Charles
Frederick Worth who was the first designer to have his label sewn into the garments that he
created. Before the former draper set up his maison couture (fashion house) in Paris, clothing
design and creation was handled by largely anonymous seamstresses, and high fashion
descended from that worn at royal courts. Worth's success was such that he was able to dictate
to his customers what they should wear, instead of following their lead as earlier dressmakers
had done. The term couturier was in fact first created in order to describe him. While all

2
articles of clothing from any time period are studied by academics as costume design, only
clothing created after 1858 is considered as fashion design.
It was during this period that many design houses began to hire artists to sketch or paint
designs for garments. The images were shown to clients, which was much cheaper than
producing an actual sample garment in the workroom. If the client liked their design, they
ordered it and the resulting garment made money for the house. Thus, the tradition of
designers sketching out garment designs instead of presenting completed garments on models
to customers began as an economy.

Types of fashion
Garments produced by clothing manufacturers fall into three main categories, although these
may be split up into additional, different types.
Haute couture
Until the 1950s, fashion clothing was predominately designed and manufactured on a made-
to-measure or haute couture basis (French for high-sewing), with each garment being created
for a specific client. A couture garment is made to order for an individual customer, and is
usually made from high-quality, expensive fabric, sewn with extreme attention to detail and
finish, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques. Look and fit take priority over
the cost of materials and the time it takes to make.[5][6] Due to the high cost of each garment,
haute couture makes little direct profit for the fashion houses, but is important for prestige and
publicity.

Ready-to-wear
Ready-to-wear, or prêt-à-porter, clothes are a cross between haute couture and mass market.
They are not made for individual customers, but great care is taken in the choice and cut of
the fabric. Clothes are made in small quantities to guarantee exclusivity, so they are rather
expensive. Ready-to-wear collections are usually presented by fashion houses each season
during a period known as Fashion Week. This takes place on a citywide basis and occurs
twice a year. The main seasons of Fashion Week include: spring/summer, fall/winter, resort,
swim, and bridal.

3
Half-way garments are an alternative to ready-to-wear, "off-the-peg", or prêt-à-porter fashion.
Half-way garments are intentionally unfinished pieces of clothing that encourages co-design
between the "primary designer" of the garment, and what would usually be considered, the
passive "consumer".[8] This differs from ready-to-wear fashion, as the consumer is able to
participate in the process of making and co-designing their clothing. During the Make{able}
workshop, Hirscher and Niinimaki found that personal involvement in the garment-making
process created a meaningful "narrative" for the user, which established a person-product
attachment and increased the sentimental value of the final product.
Otto von Busch also explores half-way garments and fashion co-design in his thesis,
"Fashion-able, Hacktivism and engaged Fashion Design".

Mass market
Currently, the fashion industry relies more on mass-market sales. The mass market caters for
a wide range of customers, producing ready-to-wear garments using trends set by the famous
names in fashion. They often wait around a season to make sure a style is going to catch on
before producing their versions of the original look. To save money and time, they use
cheaper fabrics and simpler production techniques which can easily be done by machines. The
end product can, therefore, be sold much more cheaply.
There is a type of design called "kutch" originated from the German word kitschig, meaning
"trashy" or "not aesthetically pleasing". Kitsch can also refer to "wearing or displaying
something that is therefore no longer in fashion".

Fashion design terms

A fashion designer conceives garment combinations of line, proportion, color, and texture.
While sewing and pattern-making skills are beneficial, they are not a pre-requisite of

4
successful fashion design. Most fashion designers are formally trained or apprenticed.A
technical designer works with the design team and the factories overseas to ensure correct
garment construction, appropriate fabric choices and a good fit. The technical designer fits the
garment samples on a fit model, and decides which fit and construction changes to make
before mass-producing the garment.
A pattern maker (also referred as pattern master or pattern cutter) drafts the shapes and sizes
of a garment's pieces. This may be done manually with paper and measuring tools or by using
a CAD computer software program. Another method is to drape fabric directly onto a dress
form. The resulting pattern pieces can be constructed to produce the intended design of the
garment and required size. Formal training is usually required for working as a pattern
marker.
A tailor makes custom designed garments made to the client's measure; especially suits (coat
and trousers, jacket and skirt, et cetera). Tailors usually undergo an apprenticeship or other
formal training.
A textile designer designs fabric weaves and prints for clothes and furnishings. Most textile
designers are formally trained as apprentices and in school.
A stylist co-ordinates the clothes, jewelry, and accessories used in fashion photography and
catwalk presentations. A stylist may also work with an individual client to design a
coordinated wardrobe of garments. Many stylists are trained in fashion design, the history of
fashion, and historical costume, and have a high level of expertise in the current fashion
market and future market trends. However, some simply have a strong aesthetic sense for
pulling great looks together.
A fashion buyer selects and buys the mix of clothing available in retail shops, department
stores, and chain stores. Most fashion buyers are trained in business and/or fashion studies.
A seamstress sews ready-to-wear or mass-produced clothing by hand or with a sewing
machine, either in a garment shop or as a sewing machine operator in a factory. She (or he)
may not have the skills to make (design and cut) the garments, or to fit them on a model.
A dressmaker specializes in custom-made women's clothes: day, cocktail, and evening dresses,
business clothes and suits, trousseaus, sports clothes, and lingerie.
A fashion forecaster predicts what colours, styles and shapes will be popular ("on-trend")
before the garments are on sale in stores.
A model wears and displays clothes at fashion shows and in photographs.
A fit model aids the fashion designer by wearing and commenting on the fit of clothes during
their design and pre-manufacture. Fit models need to be a particular size for this purpose.
A fashion journalist writes fashion articles describing the garments presented or fashion
trends, for magazines or newspapers.
A fashion photographer produces photographs about garments and other fashion items along
with models and stylists for magazines or advertising agencies.

The First Fashion Designer
Who invented fashion?
Scientists can’t quite agree when we (humans) started wearing clothes. It may have been
33,000 years ago or even as long as 170,000 years ago. It’s impossible to tell who first came
up with the idea of putting on leather or fur to keep warm, evade disease, camouflage
themselves or even a attract a partner. Perhaps there existed a virtuoso ‘fashion designer’ in
early humanity, the first person ever to craft a garment – sadly, the identity of this creative
person is destined to remain a mystery, forever hidden deep in human history.

What we do know is the identity of the first modern fashion designer – Charles Frederick
Worth. He was an English gentleman born in October 1825. This man is credited with two
important ‘fashion firsts’ – he was the first to use live models, thus inventing the fashion show.
He was also the first to sew branded labels into his clothing.

INTRODUCTION OF PRODUCION INDUSTRY
Fashion production is the process of bringing a new fashion product to market. It includes all
the steps from design and development through to manufacturing, packaging, and distribution.

There are many different stages involved in fashion production, and each one requires its own
set of skills and expertise. Throughout the rest of this guide, we'll take a closer look at each
stage of the fashion production process and exactly what's involved, giving you some handy
tips along the way.

STEP 1: PRE-PRODUCTION PROCESS

DESIGN MANAGEMENT
The first step in fashion production is the design phase. This is where the initial concepts and
sketches for a new fashion product or line are created.
During the design phase, you will need to develop your garment designs, as well as your print,
pattern and colour designs. To do this, you will need to have a good understanding of the
latest fashion trends, as well as what your target market is looking for.
If you think you could use some support during the design phase, consider working with a
professional fashion design consultant. They will be able to help you develop your designs, as
well as give you advice on trends and your target market.

MATERIALS SOURCING
After the design phase comes materials sourcing. This is where you need to source all the
materials and trimmings that will be used to create your garments.
To do this, you will need to have a good understanding of the different types of fabrics and
materials available, as well as their properties. You will also need to know where to source
these materials and how to get the best price.
You should also consider the sustainability of the materials you use. There are a growing
number of fashion brands that are using sustainable materials in their products, so this is
something to keep in mind when sourcing your materials.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
The next step in fashion production is product development. This is where you take your
design concepts and turn them into actual garments. This stage is essential in the pre-
production process, as it outlines the construction, fit and finishes of your garments.

7
To do this, you will need to create technical drawings or patterns for your garments. You will
also need to create a size chart and grading for your garments. This is so that when you go to
manufacture your garments, they will be made in the correct sizes.
During the product development stage, you will also need to create a prototype of your
garments. This is so that you can test the fit, construction and finishes of your garments before
they go into full production.
If you need help with any of the steps in the product development stage, consider working
with a professional fashion brand consultant. They will be able to help you with all aspects of
product development, from creating technical drawings to prototyping and testing.

SAMPLING
A pre-production sample is a great way to make sure everything is perfect before
manufacturing begins, and is vital in the pre-production process. Sampling is when you create
a small number of your garments to test the design, fit, construction and quality.
It's important to note that sampling can be a costly exercise, so it's important to only sample
the items that you absolutely need to. For example, if you're happy with the design and
construction of your garment, but you're not sure about the fit, then you may only need to
sample that particular style in a few different sizes.
Once you've received your samples, it's important to test them thoroughly. This includes
testing the fit, as well as the quality of the materials and construction. If you're happy with the
results, then you can move on to manufacturing. If not, then you may need to make some
adjustments to your design or construction before proceeding.

TECH PACKS
A fashion tech pack is a document that contains all the information a manufacturer needs to
know in order to produce your garments. This includes everything from the design and
construction of your garment, to the materials and trimmings that should be used. With an
expert tech pack to optimise the whole process, you can achieve less wastage and faster
production times.
Creating a fashion tech pack can seem like a daunting task, but it's actually quite simple once
you know what information needs to be included. If you're not sure how to create a tech pack,
our Fashion Tech Pack Guide is here to help.

COSTING FOR RAW MATERIALS & MANUFACTURING

After you've finalised your design, it's time to start thinking about how much it's going to cost
to produce. This includes the cost of the raw materials, as well as the cost of manufacturing.

8
To get an accurate idea of the cost of production, you will need to obtain quotes from a
number of different manufacturers. This can be a time-consuming process, but it's worth it to
make sure you're getting the best price possible.

Once you've received your quotes, you will need to compare them and choose an affordable
option. It's important to remember that the cheapest option is not always the best option. You
need to make sure that you're getting a good quality product from a reputable manufacturer.

STEP 2: GARMENT MANUFACTURING PROCESS

SUSTAINABILITY
Ensuring sustainability throughout your fashion production line is important to protect our
planet. The fashion industry is notoriously destructive to the environment, so it's important
that fashion business owners consider sustainability in all of their practices. Sustainability in
fashion production means using clothing manufacturers, materials and processes that don't
damage the environment or deplete natural resources.
There are a number of ways to make your fashion production sustainable. For example, you
can use organic or recycled materials, you can choose manufacturers that use renewable
energy, and you can avoid using harmful chemicals or dyes.

PATTERN CUTTING PROCESS

The first step in the garment manufacturing process is cutting the patterns for your garments.
This is done by a pattern cutter, who will use your technical drawings and paper patterns to
cut your patterns.
The patterns are then used to cut the fabric for your garments. This can be done by hand or by
machine, depending on the type of fabric and the complexity of the design. The pattern
making process can be quite time-consuming, so it's important to choose a pattern cutter with
experience and expertise.

GARMENT PRODUCTION
After the fabric has been cut, it's time to start producing your garments.
This is usually done by a garment manufacturer who will put the garment together using your
specs and a variety of different stitching techniques. This will usually include a combination
of both sewing machines and hand stitching. It's important to use the right textile
manufacturing process for your specific collection, so choosing the right clothing
manufacturer is important.

9
The main part of the manufacturing process is the cutting and sewing process. This means that
it is vital to ensure sustainability in these production processes and practices. You should also
consider the working conditions of your garment manufacturers and make sure they are fair
and ethical. This means choosing garment factories with a sustainable manufacturing process
and ethical practices.

BRAND & CARE LABELS

Once your garments are complete, they will need to be labelled with your brand name and
care instructions. This is important to ensure that your garments are easily identifiable and
that they can be properly cared for. Any great fashion production service will be able to
provide you with high-quality labels for your garments.

FINISHING
Finishing is one of the final steps in the manufacturing process. This includes adding any
trimmings or embellishments to the garment, including buttons, zips, and appliques. Once the
garment is finished, the complete garment is ready to be checked by quality control and
shipped to the customer.

STEP 3: QUALITY CONTROL

FACTORY QUALITY CHECKS
After your garments have been manufactured, it's time for quality control. This is when your
garments are checked to ensure that they meet your specifications and that they are of a high
enough quality to be sold.
There are a number of different ways to check the quality of your garments. The most
common method is to have an on-site quality check in the manufacturing factory. This is
when a quality control team checks the garments before they are shipped to you.
This is a speed-efficient way to quality-check garments, but some factories may not be willing
to do this for you. In this case, you can send your garments to an independent quality control
company. This is a more expensive option, but it's worth it to make sure your garments are up
to standard.

WHOLESALE QUALITY CONTROL

If you're selling your garments wholesale, then you'll need to have them quality-checked by
an independent company. This is because wholesalers will not accept garments that don't meet
their standards. If you work with an experienced fashion production company, they will be
able to help you with this process.

10
STEP 4: SHIPPING & LOGISTICS
Once your garments have passed quality control, they will be packed and shipped to you. This
is usually done by the manufacturing company, but you will need to double check this with
each individual company.
It's important to choose a shipping method that is safe and secure so that your garments arrive
in perfect condition. You should also consider the costs of shipping, as this can add a
significant amount to the cost of your garments.
When your garments arrive, you will need to store them until they are ready to be sold. This
means that you will need to have a storage system in place. If you don't have the space to
store your garments, then you can use a fulfilment company.
Fulfilment companies will store your garments and ship them out to your customers when you
receive an order. This is a convenient way to store and ship your garments, but it can be quite
expensive.

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR FASHION PRODUCTION PROCESS

There are a few ways to improve your fashion production process. Here are a few of our
expert tips:
Trust the Experts: If you're not sure about something, then it's always best to trust the
experts. This is especially true when it comes to fashion production. There are a lot of
different aspects to consider, and it can be difficult to know where to start. This is why
working with an experienced fashion production company can be so beneficial. They will be
able to guide you through the entire process and ensure that your garments are manufactured
to a high standard.

Don't Cut Corners: When it comes to fashion production, it's important not to cut corners.
This is because the quality of your garments will suffer if you try to save money by cutting
corners. It's better to invest in a good quality garment than to try and save money by cutting
corners, because you will end up with a garment that is of a lower quality and that won't last
as long by using fast fashion practices.

Keep the Process Simple: The fashion production process doesn't need to be complicated. In
fact, it's best to keep things as simple as possible. This is because the more complex your
process is, the more chances there are for things to go wrong. By keeping things simple, you
can minimise the risk of problems occurring and ensure that your garments are manufactured
to a high standard.

Communicate With Your Suppliers & Retailers: It's important to communicate with your
suppliers and retailers throughout the fashion production process. This is because they will be
able to give you valuable feedback and help you to improve your process. By nurturing your

11
retailer/supplier relationships, you can ensure that your garments are of the best possible
quality.
