What are the elements of fashion design?

I. Unification

Unity, also called "consistency", is similar to harmony. When designing clothes, harmony is often used as a means to achieve unity. In a good design, the arrangement of various elements-materials, colors, lines, etc. -clothing should be consistent between parts and between parts and the whole.

Second, aggravate.

Emphasis means "emphasis" or "key design". Although the design pays attention to the principle of unity, the result of excessive unity often makes the design tend to be dull, so it is best to make a certain part particularly eye-catching to create an interesting center in the design.

Third, balance.

When balance makes the design feel stable and static, it conforms to the principle of balance. Balance can be divided into symmetric balance and asymmetric balance. The former takes the center of the human body as an imaginary line, and the left and right parts are exactly the same. This style of clothing has a solemn feeling, but it is rather dull.

Fourth, the proportion.

Proportion refers to the size distribution between different parts of clothing, which seems appropriate, such as the relationship between pocket and clothing size, the width of collar and so on. The proportion of "golden section" is mostly applicable to the design of clothing. In addition, attention should also be paid to the size ratio of ornaments and accessories.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) rhythm

Rhythm refers to the repetition of laws, resulting in a soft sense of movement. For example, the gradual rhythm of color from deep to light and shape from big to small, the rhythm of regular repetition of lines and colors, and the rhythm of ribbon on clothes are all commonly used in design.

Basic skills of fashion design:

1, painting foundation and modeling ability

Drawing foundation and modeling ability are one of the basic skills of fashion designers. The former design master also has some phenomena that he can't draw, but he needs to be more outstanding in other aspects. However, if some people can't express their design ideas well through painting even after systematic study and training in school, it will bring great difficulties to their creation.

2. Rich imagination

Creativity and imagination are the wings of fashion designers. No matter how skilled a designer is, he can only be called a craftsman or tailor, not a real designer. The essence of design is creation, and design itself contains innovation and uniqueness.

3. Mastery of styles, colors and fabrics

The style of clothing is the external contour modeling and component detail modeling of clothing, and it is the basis of design change. The external contour modeling consists of the length and latitude of the garment, including waist line, skirt length, shoulder width, hem looseness and other elements.
