Evolution of Fashion- The world of fashion started with individual couturiers and evolved, as a result of the Industrial Revolution, into a mass-

market industry.

- Important names to remember, Rose Bertin & Charles Frederick Worth

Introduction to Fashion Industry- Fashion occurs in a global environment

- Fashion arena covers large base of fashion related careers in design, manufacturing, marketing, retailing and yes,

entrepreneurship.

The Industrialization of Fashion- Fibers are no longer being milled and spin manually; and

fabrics are no longer sewn by hand.

- Various machines were invented. Walter Hunt invented sewing machine in 1832 but because he did not apply for a patent. In 1846, Elias Howe received the first patent for sewing machine

and because of this regarded as its inventor. In 1858, Isaac Singer design a machine that worked by the use of a foot

treadle. With this invention, women began to sew professional-looking clothes, and saw the birth of apparel factories.

COLOR

- as an element of design it provides excitement, mood and emotion to a design. It is the single element that

contributes the greatest visual impact without major affect on the

price or costing of the product.




The Color Wheel

Color terms to remember:

Hue – the technical term of the color

Value – the lightness or darkness of a color. The lightest color are achieved by different amounts of white and are called tints. The darkest colors are achieved by the addition of black and is referred to as shades.

Intensity – refers to the color’s saturation or purity, the brightness or dullness. A color maybe dulled by adding gray or its complement.




Color Schemes

TEXTURE

texture means understanding the behavior and characteristics of the fabric.

Texture affects how the fabric maybe manipulated. It also affects the coloration

of the fabric.

applied or use in the garment also affect the overall texture of an apparel.

– used in variety of places on garment to achieve extra fullness. It can be used a major detail like a full-gathered

skirt and can be used as decorative treatment for the garment.

- Gathers are achieved by “gathering fabrics” to give extra fullness and therefore reduces the width of the

fabric to about ½ or 1/3 of its original width.

- Depending on the fabric used, the effect will vary from very soft folds of jersey silk or fine wool to the rich

gathers produce on brocade, taffeta or cotton. Gathers fall best on the lengthwise grain of the fabric.

FABRICS/TEXTILE INDUSTRY

- Primary and Secondary sources of fabrics.

• Primary – mills and converters (make are create fabrics)

• Secondary sources – Jobbers & Retailers (responsible for selling fabrics)

Manufacturers & Consumers

FIBER – they are either natural or man-made (manufactured)

• Natural Fibers – ex. Cotton, flax, ramie, wool and silk

• Man-made or manufactured fibers – ex. Rayon, acetate, acrylic and nylon.



YARN – they are either natural or man-made (manufactured)

• Natural Fibers – ex. Cotton, flax, ramie, wool and silk

• Man-made or manufactured fibers – ex. Rayon, acetate, acrylic and nylon.



YARN – are formed when fibers are twisted together. The process where fibers are twisted together is called spinning.

• Spun – short length twisted or spun to hold them together.

• Filament – continuous strands of fibers.



FABRIC CONSTRUCTION

• Weaving – the process of combining warp and weft components to make a woven structure. Yarns are interlaced in a regular order called binding system or weave. Ex. Plain weave, twill weave, basket weave, jacquard, etc.

• Knitting – the process interlocking loops of yarns by means of needles/knitting machine.



COLORING THE FABRIC

• DYEING FABRIC – examples are fiber dyeing, yarn dyeing, piece dyeing, garment dyeing.

Product Development & the Sample

Process

Basics of Draping

Product development and the sample-making process is the heart of an apparel manufacturing system; this is where most of

the creative process happens.

Designs are develop into actual finished garment.

The process between creating design ideas to ultimately creating an actual “product” involves both creativity and

precision.

Is the product development process different between a couture shop and mass-market company?



Every design team adopts a different method of “creative process” but in the end the design ideas need to be sketch and

presented.

Then a specification form is created for that design idea.

What is the role of technology in the product development process?

The result of technology applied in product development is greater standardization and efficiency in managing data;

improved and faster product development process.



Sample-making stage is done in several phases. Mass-market apparel company creates the most effective method of

sampling process to meet the demand of sales and marketing department.

What is the relationship of sales and marketing department with the product development/sample department?
