FUNDAMENTALS OF FASHION

Page 4: How to make fashion mood board

HAUTE COUTURE• French for “Fine Tailoring”• Design that predominated until

the 1950’s• Made for the individual

customer, look and fit take priority over the cost of materials and the time it takes to make

• The most costly garments, ranging from $2,000-$40,000.

• High price guarantees you have a one of a kind outfit or gown that fits you perfectly and has been designed with you in mind.

DESIGNER LABEL• A cross between couture and

mass market• Not made for individual

customers, but great care is taken in the choice and cut of the fabric.

• These clothes are made with high quality materials and mass produced only in small quantities to guarantee exclusivity.

• They are costly.• Examples: Donna Karan, Yves

St Laurent, Gucci

MASS MARKET• Clothes to cater to a wide range

of customers, producing ready-to-wear clothes in large quantities and standard sizes.

• Less costly materials and construction techniques, creatively used, produce affordable high street fashion.

• Standardized sizing is used, trims and notions are scaled down but still try to keep the look of Designer or Haute Couture.

• Other names for mass market: ready-to-wear, off-the rack

• Examples: Old Navy, Gap, Abercrombie and Fitch, H&M

THEME

Page 17: How to make fashion mood board

• A Mood Board is a summary of your collection’s inspiration and theme.

• It’s a design tool that will help you remain focused and consistent as your line develops.

• It’s also a great communication aid when explaining your vision to others (retailers, media etc.).

• Magazine tears, fabric swatches, old photos, buttons, ribbons; basically any visual reference you desire are mounted onto a hard board. Be sure to give your story board a title, like a book or film”.

WHAT IS MOOD BOARD

1.   Research: Go to galleries, exhibition, watch the music videos, the latest fashion show, street fashion, specialty magazines from different part of the world (fashion, architecture, design…), go to boutiques.

HOW TO MAKE MOOD BOARD

2.   Take pictures of objects, scene and store front. Create a “mise en scene” related to your theme.

3.   Write down a few  thematic keywords you want to have in your design.4.   Combine two theme to create something new. Example: Punk and Aristocrat, Urban and Cosmic…

5.  The presentation must be strongly themed, capturing the mood in a nut shell and should always be accompanied by a title. This can be determined by the fabrics: Natural Linens, the season: Summer Blues, or the merchandise: Metamorphosis…

6.   Cut out  pictures that inspired you. Use anything you can find from magazines, your pc or mac, tissue paper, feathers, foil, string, fabric etc., books (not just fashion), your own photographs and collect fabric and paint swatches. But DONT go overboard, this can look messy.

Page 20: How to make fashion mood board

7.   Use a large sized board ( example 24”x18”) to lay out your images, your color swatches, fabrics and buttons…. This allow you to show a complete idea.

8.   Extract from the large board the essence of your theme. At this point usually use Photoshop + scanning and a smaller board.9.   Take a step back and critically look at what you’ve created to see if it matches your keywords and theme you defined earlier.10.  Show your mood board to 2 other people (from different social circles (two friend might give the same answers, but a friend and a peer might come up with totally different critiques).

Designing

• After the groundwork is completed for the nature of the collection, the designer must decide how many and what types of garments should be included in the collection.

• Usually, they have a three month period to design, produce and publicize the collection in time for their fashion show.

• Press and buyers get their first look at the collection at the show

THE DESIGN

Steps• Designers work differently to put the design ideas

together: some sketch, drape fabric on a dress stand, or use patterns from previous seasons

• Create a paper pattern• Make a muslin sample• Try it on (a dress stand or live model) adjustments

are made When fit is right, a professional pattern cutter makes an accurate pattern

• A sample item is made in the fashion fabric, then produced in various colors

• Fashion show: reveals the finished designs in their most attractive state
