Three designer

London College of Fashion’s Fashion Space Gallery is currently displaying the exhibition Layer by Layer, the first of a two-part series which explores the role that digital print has had in fashion in recent years, as well as the potential of three-dimensional (3D) printing as a tool to generate new shapes, structures and ideas across the creative industries. Recent advances in computer-assisted design technology (CAD) meant that previously unimaginable creations are possible; one recent example being the world’s first 3D printed dress (designed by Michael Schmidt and generated by architect Francis Bitonti) recently worn by Dita von Teese.


Mighty morphin' power fashion: Designer creates shape-shifting dress
In what was surprisingly not a promotion for the upcoming live-action Transformers movie, fashion designer Hussein Chalayan last week in Paris showed off clothes that can change form. Before the eyes of the astonished people in the audience, one outfit morphed from Victorian gown to 1920s-style dress. In another sample, the model pictured above at first looks ready for a night of clubbing in New York or L.A. — until her dress transforms to show she's really a henchwoman for Dr. Octopus. Chalayan got an assist on the technology side from the same team that worked on one of the Harry Potter movies, but that doesn't really lift the project up above other dubious experiments in techno-fashion.

 Fashion Designer Pierre Garroudi
The collection
Each collection the fashion designer Pierre Garroudi discovers is based on one colour, and this time the palette is turquoise. The carefully hand-stitched ruffles, pleats and folds exhibit intricate detail and serious craftsmanship complimenting Pierre Garroudi’s futuristic interpretation of contemporary trends and reconfirming that he indeed is a cutting edge fashion designer.
Dresses and separates, whether long or short, wide or narrow are all very feminine, glamorous and predominantly backless.
The headpieces were breathtaking. Despite being in the area, there was no need to head to the London Eye as the perfect miniature model of the London Eye was right in front of us, on the catwalk, on the head of a gorgeous fashion model. And that was not all. Tailing sharks and steam ships were amongst other sculpted shapes to immerge from the turquoise sea of hair, perfectly shaped to great detail.

The women’s shoes worn by the fashion models have their own story too. It was hard to believe that the fashion designer, Pierre Garroudi, used second hand shoes to create this extraordinary art to compliment his garments. He ingeniously reincarnated unwanted women’s shoes giving them a second life on his glamorous catwalk. A selection of second hand women’s shoes was cleverly restyled. A variety of unexpected objects including flowers, wires, toys, spikes and kitchen accessories were carefully attached to women’s shoes, which were later spray painted in a nice greyish tone of metallic turquoise.

What is fashion design to me?

FASHION DESIGN to me is a sacred duty,because can help each other to build beauty and confidently.To work as a designer, we should have artistic and creative personality.Futhermore, have a wide array of skills, including drawing, an eye for color and texture, an ability to visualize concepts in three dimensions, and the mechanical skills involved in sewing and cutting all types of fabrics for a certain season in the near future. The design process from design concept to final production takes many months. Researching current fashion and making predictions of future trends is the first step in creating design,to do own research, while others depend on trend reports published by fashion industry trade groups. Trend reports let you know what styles, colors, and fabrics will be popular for a certain season in the near future. Textile manufacturers use these trend reports to design fabrics and patterns while fashion designers begin to sketch designs,manufacturers or trade shows to get samples of fabrics and figure out which fabrics to use with which designs.  In addition, may love clothes but clothing is only part of the story when undertaking fashion design,also need excellent communication skills, a willingness to work very hard  a tough hide when criticized, an ability to cope with stress,also have to be good at drawing and  to express our ideas in sketches. No matter what his or her personal style is, a designer must produce a creative, exciting, and profitable product line.We have to be very interested in learning new things and read magazines, journals and books on fashion design history and new trends. We must learn creative development and an understanding of garment technologies can be very useful when entering the industry, so look closely at the components of a course before signing up. Add in pictures of designs, pieces, models, jewelry and accessories etc in our sketch book. Being able to sew difficult fabric under challenging situations will stand  in excellent stead throughout our career. Understand how fabrics move, drape, breathe, react when worn, etc.  In depth knowledge of fabric is absolutely essential to using it properly when designing. Also know where to source materials from. Learn how to create storyboards and product ranges. Be good at researching trends through media, comparative shopping and trade shows.
To become a fashion designer, we will need to have a good eye for colour, texture and shape,an understanding of the characteristics of fabrics and how they can be used,technical skills such as pattern cutting and sewing,the ability to spot and develop trends,drawing skills,the ability to use computer design packages,an understanding of production processes,the ability to solve problems,commercial awareness and the ability to work as part of a team. Fashion designers are involved in every phase of designing, showing, and producing all types of clothing, from bathing suits to evening gowns. Those with talent, vision, determination, and ambition can succeed in this difficult, demanding, and highly competitive industry. We should looks at materials, attends fashion shows, and works with other designers on projects.
The main areas of work for fashion designers are high street fashion,ready to wear and haute couture. Fashion designers who become unhappy with the lifestyle(emotion) (low pay, long hours, hard work, low chance of advancement) leave the field to do a variety of things. Some of them use their color and design skills to become interior designers, graphic designers, or fashion consultants.
