Integrated Design Project-III

List of Experiments / Activities

1. Context of the Project
2. The integrated design project should incorporate and integrate the understanding of basic design, elements of design, design process, fashion illustration, pattern making, garments construction, draping and surface ornamentation thereby creating a meaningful correlation and application within the context of fashion. This is done by attempting to evolve an aspired image and then creating a garment, which represents the image for a target customer. The project will concentrate on encouraging a mature and self-motivated approach towards the final product and completion of work on a creative, original and technically sound either a kids wear or menswear. Having gained proficiency in earlier skills, the students have also been given more advanced and specific inputs on: I. Design Philosophy Concept Development Design and development of kids wear and menswear Fashion illustration Computer Aided Designing II. Skills Acquired Fashion illustration Advanced draping Fabric ornamentation III. Knowledge Gained Quality control in garments Production techniques IV. Product Development Pattern making of kids wear and menswear
3. Project Methodology
4. Based on all the above inputs received during all the five semesters, two students are required to work together to conceptualize and develop a mini collection of three kidswear or menswear outfits each (two for kids and one for men or one for kids and two for men). An element of fabric ornamentation to be suitably introduced. The collection should be based on the criteria of: - Season - Categories - Target market - Customer profile / psychographics (age group, income, attitude etc.) The students are also required to accessorize the collection to achieve a complete look.
5. Note: The art work and photographs have to be preserved and digitized for compilation towards the development of the Art Portfolio (Semester VIII).
