8/17/2019 FCCLA Fashion Design Star Event Example Portfolio

1/34

Hey guys! I have judged the FCCLA Fashion Design event at the national and state

(Ohio) level, I have also judged Fashion Construction at the national level twice, and

Recycle Redesign at the Regional level. Along with all my judging experience I have

competed at the national level with Fashion Construction (Sophomore year), Fashion

Design (Junior and Senior year). My junior year I earned a 97 and first place in the

senior category at nationals. My senior year I earned a 98 at nationals and did not place

(bummer). So that’s just a little bit of my FCCLA background to express my credibility on

this project. I am now a sophomore at Kent State University majoring in fashion design.

I am currently helping local FCS teachers write their lesson plans for Ohio’s new fashion

classes!

I decided to put my portfolio up to give you guys an idea as to what is expected

at the national level. Please do not take my work. I put countless hours into this and

made it 100% my own. This is to be used as a resource. If you have any question

regarding this project, any other FCCLA event, or anything please feel free to contact

me at [email protected].

*Please note that this project was completed using the 2014 guidelines. They have

changed since then and I am not responsible for any incapability of you to read the new

guidelines and follow them!

FCCLA Planning ProcessSummary Page Template

(Space modications are allowed, as needed)

Your concerns should be focused on the concerns of your label. For example, I was concerned

that young, professional women don't have a large enough selection of clothing that can beworn for multiple occasions. Example your concerns in detail. This is shouldn't be focused on

getting it done on time, or making it to nationals. What made you decide to design thecollection you did? What is the purpose?

Set the goal of your label. Sure add in your goals for the project too. This should be kindof like a business plan. My goals included designing six complete looks appealing to my

intended audience. Keeping my intended audience in mind during every aspect of the project.

This is straight forward. Follow what it asks. Remember you are forming a plan to achievethe goal you listed above. I included that I would conduct a survey to keep my intendedaudience in mind.

How are you going to follow through with your plan?

What would you do differently? Do you feel your project was successful and why?


4/34

My Label

I wanted my label to appeal to my attened audience, while still standing for everything Iam as a designer, and person. Gold & Glam just stuck. My label stands for the workingwomen. Women are perceived as glamorous figures in society, which is something weshould embrace. However, women are so much more than glamour and beauty. Somany women today are needed, or choose, to work. To me, it is such a powerful thingthat we, as women, have the ability to choose what we do with our lives. Gold is asymbol of success, the women wearing the fashions from Gold & Glam are, all-around,successful. Gold is also a symbol of value, every single women has more value thanany amount of gold could ever possess. I want my collection to not only make womenlook and feel glamorous, I want it to give them a sense of value and ambition; a boost ofconfidence. I feel that Gold & Glam symbolizes everything I want this collection to standfor.

Your label is one of the most important parts of your project. Make it mean something. What do youwant the judges to remember about you? What do you want to put your name on? It is also importantto think about the man or woman wearing your clothes. What does he/she stand for? There are zerolimitations, so be creative! Along with the explanation you must have a physical label which would

serve as your logo. I made mine using Google Drawing. You can use anything. I have used paperbefore. Please make sure this is in your portfolio!

Collection Inspiration

I have a deep appreciation for the history of fashion. I am always looking at whereclothing trends came from and why they started. There is a purpose behind everyclothing choice of every time period and I have a desire to understand what those are.

As I was looking through old fashion trends I was extremely drawn to the 1940’s, thisreally got me thinking. As I looked further into the period I started to understand howmuch the 40s contributed to the American fashion industry. I also realized how often it isoverlooked on the fashion timeline. What really got me hooked on this period, was the“Make do and mend” mentality. Nothing was glitzed up, nothing was over-the-top, therewas a real purpose. And boy, the wheels started turning.I first looked into the wartime fashions. Many designer’s top fabric choices wereunavailable due to the high demand for Military uniforms, parachutes, bags and

padding. This forced designers to put a hold on production for half the decade. Womenof the time had to get creative and adapt, and that is exactly what they did! I wasintrigued by the way women took their husband's’ unused blazers and jackets andturned them into functioning clothing they, as women, could wear day to day. Thefashions were very simplistic making them practical for the everyday woman. I wantedto take this idea and turn it into fashions suitable for the everyday, working woman ofthe 21st century, while still maintaining that 1940s, wartime vibe.

This is not a required part of the portfolio but I think it is animportant part. This could also be presented as a board (look upmood boards on Google). Without inspiration what is a collection?

Make it mean something.


6/34

Intended Audience

It is evident that my line Gold & Glam is for the working woman. However, I wanted totarget the younger, mid level demographic. Gold & Glam is designed for women from

the age of 20 to 35. She is a classic woman who still stays up-to-date on the latesttrends. She goes from work to catch up with friends, or out on a date. She is adetermined, level-headed woman, on top in the workplace and the social ladder.Because she is younger and is still learning to manage her work and social life, shedoes not have the time nor the money to have several wardrobe changes throughoutthe day. This is why she counts on the fashions from Gold & Glam to suite all her dailyfashion needs. She is a friend, a mother, a role model, a hard worker, a strong woman;she is whoever she wants to be.

Your intended audience should be detailed. Create your ideal customer. This is morethan just the age range. What does she/he do for fun? What does he/she do for a living?Geographical location? Keep this in mind as you go about the rest of the project. I can’t

stress this enough.

Hello! My name is Taylor Baumberger, this year I am completing the Fashion DesignSTAR Event for FCCLA. This event requires me to design a collection of six complete looks.This year I have chosen to focus on women's work wear. My idea is to take the looks of the1940s and give them a modern twist. I want to do my very best on this project, but I need your

help to insure I am focusing on my potential buyers wants and needs! It would be muchappreciated if you could fill out this survey and return it to Mrs. Jennings or I as soon aspossible!

● Where do you tend to shop when buying clothes for work?

● What is most important when buying clothes for work? (cost, care, quality,appearance…)

● How often do you update your wardrobe?

● What is most challenging when finding clothing for work purposes?

● What colors do you tend to gravitate towards?

● What do you feel you need, if anything, to enhance your wardrobe?

● Do you wear your work wardrobe for other activities and events? If yes, whatactivities/events?

● How would you describe your style?

● Any other information I should know as a designer.

Thank you for your participation! Feel free to stay updated on my progress, I appreciatefeedback.

Here is the survey I had every female teacher in my school district take. The judges always love proof that you did research. And getting the community involved is what FCCLA is all about sobonus points there. Make sure that your focus group is indeed your intended audience. For this

survey mine wasn't exactly my intended audience, but I made note of that in my oral presentation.

This type of research is not required but very impressive.

Results

1. Where do you shop to purchase work clothes?

2. What is most important when buying clothes for work?

3. What colors do you tend to gravitate towards?

I did not make a graph for all the questions. Just the ones I got themost valuable information from. This is because of the page limit ofthe portfolio.

Fabric Inspiration

The fabrics of my collection were inspired by the colors of a sunset. I captured a photoof a sunset that included navys, corals, greys, sky blues and golds. I am a huge sucker

for symbolism and a sunset represents everything my collection stands for. The mostimportant thing a sunset represents is that there are no limits; one cannot be limited byeven the sky. I decided that because I wanted to keep the silhouettes of my collectionfairly true to the time I would freshen the looks up with modern material.

These are easy points to earn or lose. Follow the rubric. I made each item needed bold so I knew I wasn't forgetting anything. Make sure your information is correct. Take picturesat the store to save a headache! Us judges know fabrics, we can tell if you just made stuffup or have no clue what you're talking about! Do your research!

The explanation is not required, but a good touch.

Midnight Beauty:The half peplum off the waist of this knee-length dress comes from the fashions of the post-warperiod. The square neckline, which is symmetric in the back, gives this dress a more sophisticated

look. The navy polyester knit is very slimming and easy to care for. While the chain around theneckline along with the cap sleeves add a needed youthfulness. This dress can easily be paired withthe more traditional military coat from the era. This coat includes a mandarin collar made from thereverse side of the brocade material.This coat also sports a belted waist. It is fully lined with asweater knit to keep warm in the winter season. The coat has buttons sealing the front to thewaist.This complete look is perfect for any professional women looking to spice up her wardrobe, itcan easily be transformed from day to night.

Chic Edge:

This peplum top made from floral printed polyester makes for an easy-wear top all on its own. Thestretch knit used for the sleeves and back adds comfort and ease but is still trendy and fashion

forward. The gold foil jeans complete this look. Because the material is edgy and fresh, I chose thevery classic silhouette of a straight leg ankle pant. This look is perfect, as is, for the busy workingwomen, who still wants to stay stylish on a booked Saturday. Whether catching up with friends, a tripto the museum with the kids, or a day of errands this look is the one. However, It can easily bedressed up for a more professional event.

Tastefully Tailored:

This look is a more classic look for the professional woman. The blue foil blouse has a very1940s bow tie collar. The simple loose-fitted silhouette is flattering to all body types. Paired

with this simple blouse is a faux suede blazer. The material has a quilted pattern. I choose asimple scoop neckline to balance out the textured material. This blazer is sealed with fourlarge buttons, and is fully lined. To finish off this look I choose a wide leg, high waistedtrouser. These trousers looks as though they came straight out of the 40’s. I selected acream colored denim papyrus for comfort and easy care.

Carefree and Dainty:This look is super fun and cute for Glam and Gold’s potential buyers. It is easy for a busywoman to just throw on if she is running late or just wants a comfy, put-together look. The

dress is made from a moisture wicking mesh. I kept the collection’s theme of pleats goingwith this dress’ knee length skirt. This dress is unique with raglan sleeves and a cut outneckline, as well as a gold chain detail. This is the perfect look for a young workingwoman.

Threads of Success:This three piece look is well put together for the women ready to impress. The skirt is a classichigh waisted pencil flattering on any figure. It is made out of a gold and cream sweater knit thatresembles a tweed. The skirt is obviously fully lined. The teal t-shirt has a very geometric, 40’slook. The textured knit appears to be braided. This top has a simple scoop neckline and shortcape sleeves. To complete this look I added a gold pleather moto jacket to really modernize it.This jacket is fully lined. It is light enough to wear as a jacket on a cool spring day or can be usedto accompany any outfit on a cold winter day. This look is just screaming success.

This is essentially an online profile for each garment. If you don't sell the look here you're in trouble. This should include all the information you see while shopping online.

Because my information took up a whole page I put the information page on the right side of a spread andmy drawings on the left. It went two portfolio pages facing each other, and two blank pages facing eachother. The pages must be single sided but I wanted the judges to be able to look at my drawings and read thecorresponding information without flipping pages. No points were deducted (nor should they be, it followsall the rules) but this is risky, there are some picky judges out there. I hope that makes sense!

Pricing

It is important to keep in mind that the products I purchased are retail items bought atretail prices. As a professional designer I will be purchasing these materials at

wholesale prices. This will cut a large percentage off the suggested retail price. Thesuggested retail price I calculated includes the cost of utility, rent, equipment,maintenance, labor and the net profit amount. The net profit is 35% of the suggestedretail price. This would be the amount I would receive as a first year designer. As mybusiness grows my prices will have more room to increase bringing in more profit.

Pricing... This is where I have taken the most points off as a judge. It's a lot of work but itwill be worth it. Figure the cost of production for each garment. Set a net profit amount anddo the math. If you don't know how to do this, Google it. If you want to really impress your

judges note that if you were a professional design you would be purchasing material inbulk making retail prices less, or profit higher. Judges noted that my profit margin was alittle low on this project but no points were deducted. Charts are always a good way toorganize information!

Career Path

I will be attending Kent State University in the fall of 2015. I will major in fashion design,and hope to minor in journalism. I plan on studying in New York City, Florence, Italy, or

both through the Kent State program. After completing an internship and graduationfrom Kent State with my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in fashion design I will move toChicago, Illinois to work alongside an established freelance designer. After gainingpublicity, knowledge, along with resources I will start my own label as an independentdesigner. I plan to own and operate a showroom and boutique in a trendy neighborhoodof Chicago. While I will surely miss home Chicago will easily become my new home withit’s very diverse, and established residences; my mom will not mind coming for frequentvisits either. I, along with my talented team, will design and create every piece displayedin my showroom. We will offer custom designs, personal shopping, and styling. The

pieces found in my boutique will be available in sizes 0-24W, as well as petite sizes. Mygoal is for everyone to have a personal experience when they walk through the doors. Iwill start a charity for local children who do not have adequate clothing in hopes that myefforts will spread to children all over America. The idea of creating a fashion empire,designing for women around the world, is intriguing but I think local is what I want to be.I want to prove to people that fashion is more than what one wears, it’s a lifestyle.

This is pretty straight forward. Please make this about your career goals and not your life goals.Great you want to have a family. Include it if you want, but you better have 5 other well developed

career goals. Make sure they are challenging, but still achievable. Put them in list form or paragraph form. If they are in paragraph form the judges have to be able to skim through and findall of them.
