Integrated Design Project-IV

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 an Indian wear or Western wear. Having gained proficiency in earlier skills, the students have also been given more advanced and specific inputs on:
3. I. Design Philosophy
4. Concept Development Design and development of Indianwear Design and development of knitwear products II. Skills Acquired
5. •Advanced Photography
6. •Pattern Grading III. Knowledge Gained
7. •Knitting technology
8. •Fashion Merchandising & Management
9. IV. Product Development
10. •Pattern making of Indian wear
11. •Pattern grading
12. •Leather sourcing & development of leather products
13. Project Methodology
14. Based on all the above inputs received during all the six semesters, two students are required to work together to conceptualize and develop a mini collection of three Indian wear or Western wear outfits. 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.
