What is Fashion Thinking?

Fashion Thinking is a way of thinking about fashion that emphasizes the creative process. It is about understanding the relationship between design, culture, and the human body. Fashion Thinking is about more than just creating clothes; it is about creating a unique and personal expression of oneself.

The Creative Process in Fashion Design

The creative process in fashion design is a complex one. It involves a variety of skills and disciplines, including research, sketching, pattern making, and sewing. However, at its core, the creative process is about problem solving. Designers must find creative solutions to the challenges of creating clothing that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Concept Development

The first step in the creative process is concept development. This is where designers begin to explore their ideas and develop a vision for their collection. They may do this by researching trends, studying fashion history, or simply brainstorming ideas.

Sketching

Once designers have a concept in mind, they will begin to sketch their ideas. Sketching is a way to quickly and easily explore different design options. Designers may sketch their ideas on paper, on a computer, or even on fabric.

Pattern Making

Once designers have a final sketch, they will begin to create a pattern. A pattern is a template that is used to cut out the fabric for a garment. Designers must carefully create patterns that are accurate and well-fitting.

Sewing

The final step in the creative process is sewing. This is where designers bring their garment to life. Sewing requires precision and skill, and designers must take their time to ensure that their garments are well-made and finished.
