MY WORKING

(OFFICE WEAR)

Fashion is more than wearing good clothes it is about

presenting a person’s image in the society, we generally see

people accepting fashion due to the peer pressure, image in

the society and when a person wants a change to brighten his

life. There are many reasons behind what we wear.

Protection from cold, rain and snow: - mountain climbers

wear high-tech outwear to avoid frostbite and over-

exposure.

Physical attention:-many styles are worn to inspire

“chemistry”.

Emotions: - we dress “up” when we’re happy and “down”

when we’re upset.

Religious expression: - orthodox Jewish men wear long

black suits and Islamic women cover every part of their

body except their eyes.

Identification and tradition: - judges wear robes, people in

the military wear uniforms, brides wear long white

dresses.

Fashion as a Person’s Image

Garment Industry

Garment Construction popularly called as Pattern Engineering

has a great importance in the fashion design industry. Within

the sphere of technology industries, design technology is

perhaps the fastest growing today.

Fashion design runs the garment from:-

Eveningwear to sportswear

Women’s wear to menswear

Kids wear to knitwear

Garment Industry

In garment industry typically employs one of two methods to create a pattern.

The flat-pattern method where the entire pattern is

drafted on a flat surface from measurements.

The draping method involves creating a muslin mock-up

pattern by pinning fabric directly on a form.

Garment Industry

People need and want to feel smart and confident with the

dress they wear and for developing this a number of brands

and companies are working in developing that particular fit on

the body. The companies like Van Heuson, Dockers, Levis,

and Adidas etc. Are all providers of perfect fit and this is what

we learn at Dezyne E’cole through the art of pattern making.

A style line is a seam in a garment made primarily for the

purpose of its visual effect, rather than for the purpose of

shaping of structuring the garment.

In women’s wear I learnt 4 basic silhouettes these are:-

My Working Process

Case Study

A client for whom we need to create a style holds an important

position in a company. The company she works deals with

making of Adidas Shoes, she is the sales manager of that

company and needs a formal wear to be designed for her.

She has nearly a meeting with ten new officials everyday.

She want official colors and no fancy areas in her dress. Her

age group is between 30-35.

Observation & Solution

• Holds an important position in the company – powers

dress code should be used.

• Meeting with 10-12 new officials in a day – fabric finishes

must be use.

Wrinkle Resistant

Aroma Fabric

Stain Repellent

Water Repellent

• For an office going lady, there must be a formal dress code

and no fancy areas included.

Color Selection

Generally the colors used in official wear are the darker and

lighter shades of any color, instead of using bright and

attractive colors.

Light and dark colors are used because these colors do not

attract and gives a soothing effect to any personality.

A person can feel comfort and can present himself

accordingly.

After learning about official colors. I select some of them for

my design.

Color Scheme

I select tints of the secondary color orange (peach) and pair it

with dark brown color. Here in my design, a light and a dark

shade is used.

Fabric Selection

Office wear is the dress which a person wear for his working

hours. So everyone wants a dress which is functional and

stylish too. Fabric is a basic need of any garment. The fabric

selection must be done according to the fabric properties,

e.g.- wrinkle resistant, stain resistant, hydrophilic, etc.

Generally man mane fibres are used for office wear fabrics

because most of the characteristics of other vegetable fibres

are included in these fibres or can be inserted by yarn

formation process. As a Fashion Designer I will use these

fabrics for the office wear.
