8. INTRODUCTION
This Portfolio Contains All The Working Which I Have
Done During My 2 Year Fashion Design Diploma .
In These Two Years I Gained Knowledge About How
Fashion Industry Works I Found That It Does Not Exist
In A Vacuum But Is The End Product Of A Chain Of
Activities Which Can Be Said To Start With The
Production Of Textile Fibres. I Get To Know That The
Internal Chain Usually Starts With The Marketing
Department Doing Some Formal Or Informal Market
Research To Evaluate What The Market Sector Served
By The Company Could Be Looking For And At What
Prices.
To Witness All These I First Learnt And Practiced All
The Techniques And Skills Needed To Acquired By Me
Before Experimenting My Ideas And Aesthetics On To
The Creation. For This Purpose I Practiced Various
Garment Engineering Techniques, The Draping Method
And Also Various Surface Designing Techniques Which
I Have Shown In Further Pages Of My Assignments
And Projects.

INTRODUCTION
Our Knowledge Is Based On The Study Of Sculpted
Figures And Engraved Seals ,Where Both Men And
Women Are Depicted Wearing Unstitched Fabrics Draped
Around The Body. The Statuette Of The High Priest Wears
A Patterned Shawl With A Formal Drape. The Clothing
Used In The Ancient World Strongly Reflects The
Technologies That These Peoples Mastered.
Archaeology Plays A Significant Role In Documenting This Aspect Of
Ancient Life, For Fabric Fibers, And Leathers Sometimes Are Well-
preserved Through Time. In Many Cultures The Clothing Worn Was
Indicative Of The Social Status Achieved By Various Members Of Their
Society.
At The Eighteenth Century, The Textile Industry Grew In Lyons And
French Cities , Supplying The Court With Silk Fabrics , And Laces .
Dressmakers And Tailors , Sponsored By The Wealthy ,
Developed Their Skills To A High Level Using These
Beautiful Materials.
A Trend Toward Masculinity In Women’s Fashion
Emerged: Decorative Details Disappeared In Favor
Of A Tailored Look That Imitated Businessmen’s
Suits.
Corsets Were Discarded And Curved Hourglass
Silhouette Was Replaced By The Tube.

21. PATTERN ENGINEERING
Garment technology is the method of constructing
garments with the technical aspect of construction.
This technique has two methods
Flat pattern method
Draping method.
I have also learnt that marketing and design put their
heads together and start formulating the framework of
the sample collection. Fabrics and trimmings are
selected and ordered and the designer starts to prepare
the core designs which will represent the central theme
garments of collection. Core designs , when approved ,
will be the basis for developing planned groups of
variations.
The garment design becomes goal directed planning
because apart from developing the appeal factors of
each design, the designer also has to take into account
the many technical and commercial factors involved.
Following pages will include the techniques I learnt
during my coarse of study.

SAREE DESIGN
After Learning About The Various Types Of Saris
And Their Different Styles I Was Given An
Assignment For Which I Studied About The
Papyrus Flower Which Is The Sacred Flower Of
Egypt .
For Learning The Placement Of The Motif I First
Converted The Organic Shape Of The Flower
Into The Geometric Construction.
Then I Simplified It Using The Drafting Of
Geometric Papyrus Flower Shape.
This Was Used As A Stencil To Make The
Modifications Of Motif I.E, Slimming The Original
And Expanding The Original.
With All These Processes I Then Chose The
Modified Flower To Use As A Motif And By
Repeating It In Certain Shapes I Generated A
Circular Motif Which Will Be Repeated In
Different Types Of Repetition , According To The
Sari Which I Want To Design .
Following Pages Will Show The Simplification,
Modification And Repetition Of The Papyrus
Motif.

DESIGN BASICS
For creating a good deign we need to follow the elements and principles of designing in
harmony. To witness this we were given task to create 6-8 samples of design development
taking the geometric and organic shapes .Following designs were made on the basis of
the practice questions . It includes the use of specific shape at specified measurements
and according to the conditions of the query. These were then colored according to the
specified color schemes.

Corel draw
After Learning About The Garment Technology And The Elements Of Garment I Designed
It On Corel Draw . As In Present Time Technology Advancement Is Very Necessary For
The Designer As It Helps The Designer To Take The Designs Or Ideas On To The 3d
Platform And View The Front , Back And Side Views Of The Design . There We Can Also
Use Different Styles, Shadow And Transparency Tool To Elaborate The Designs.
Following Are Some Assignments Which Have Been Designed By Me Using Corel Draw.

68. INTRODUCTION
Based On The Case Study Given To Me I Have Created A Capsule Collection After Taking Knowledge About
Various Designers I Was Attracted Towards Aqua Life Conservation. It Has Been A Really Interesting Journey As
I Was Able To Experiment With My Ideas Which I Have Presented Further.
Designers Are Decoding Indian Fashion With Their Own Set Of Values And Vision Which Is Not Just Restricted
To Handmade And Heritage But Also Looks At Using Unconventional Materials Like Silicon Sheets And Metallic
Yarns, Motifs And Patterns That Have Been Part Of Their Childhood Stories.
I Found Them Really Interesting But After Taking Knowledge About Various Designers I Stressed On Where My
Aesthetics And Interest Takes Me, And I Found That I Was Attracted Towards Aqua Life Of Mammals Like
Octopus , snails, Jellyfishes And Many More.
It Has Been A Really Interesting Journey As I Was Able To Experiment With My Ideas And
A Lot More Acceptance Came In With Time Which I Will Portray With Structural Designing .
I Have Hosed This Technique Of Work As I Like To Do Things With My Hand It Is Not Difficult,
It’s Labor Intensive Sculpting It, Stitching It And Putting It Together Is More Difficult Than The
Concept Itself. That’s What I Did For My Collection, I Never Set Out To Innovate. It’s
Essential To Keep Your Aesthetics Clean And Untouched. For This I Prefer Abraham And
Thakur For Retaining A Fresh Aesthetic.
70. RESEARCH
As Research Is The First Stage For Starting Any
Collection And The Research Is Done For Collecting
All The Knowledge And Ideas Linked To That
Particular Concept Or Influence.
The Designer Has To Research From All The
Sources To Collect The Information From The
Extracted Pages Of Look Book Created By Them Or
Magazines Which Discloses The Secretes And Facts
Of Fashion Industry.
While Brainstorming I Came Across Various
Designers Who Worked For Showcasing Their
Creativity And Imagination With Their Creations
And Found Conceptual Influence Very Attractive
And I Researched About Those Designers Who
Had Worked Upon This Influence .
At This Stage Of Final Collection With Conceptual Design Idea A Comprehensive Research Work Was
Undertaken To Bring Out The Design Idea. I Have Been Influenced By The Conceptual Collections Of Various
Minimalist Designers . Following Pages Will Discuss The Consideration That Will Provide A Brief Approach To
My Influence And Collection Presented Here:
LIBRERAY
71. CONCEPTUAL
INFLUENCE
“There Is Beauty In The Unfinished,”
Kawakubo Said. “The Very Fact Of
Something Being Unfinished Gives It More A Feeling Of
Something Projecting Ahead Into The Future.”
72. MINIMALIST
Minimalist Designers Are Those Who Work More
With Structural Designing And Not Much Work On
The Decorative Part Of A Garment.
Designers Like Hussein Chalayan , Helmut Lang
And Jil Sander Are Known For A Minimalist,
Exacting Aesthetics, Which Owns Much To The
Rigors And Precision Of Innovative Architecture And
Reductive Product Design.
Hussein Chalayan
73. YOHJI YAMAMOTO
While Studying About The Creations Of Various
Designers I Got Attracted To A Creation Of One
Of The Great Japanese Designer, Yohji
Yamamoto Who Had Created A Dress With
Pleats And Was My Idea Towards Aquatic Life.
74. DESIGN
PROCESS
This Stage Of Collection Involves The Process Of Designing On The Basis On The Previous
Research This Level Includes The Storyboard For Our Collection Which Will Then Be Projected
With A Titled Concept And Color And Textures For Developing The Specific Mood To The
Collection Which Will Be Proceeded In The Ideation Of The Designs.
75. MARINE MAMMALS NEED HELP
STORYBOARD
In This Step I Created A Story For My Collection
Which Projects The Aqua Life And How It Is Being
Destroyed And Is On The Verge Of Extinction Due
To The Continuous Use Of Non Biodegradable
And Chemical Substances.
I Researches And Collected The Current Affairs
Which Are Presented In A Collage Form:
The beauty of aquatic life
needs your voice to
survive as due to our
selfish and artificial lifestyle
they are being endangered.
The chemicals and plastics
we use in our industrial and
commercial activities are
deposited in the water bodies
which are mistaken as food
by the marine mammals like
jelly fish and various others.
76. Save
THE BLUES
We Need To Focus On This
Concept And This Issues
Needs To Be Solved By Our
Concern And Should Be
Immediately Actioned For
The Conservative
Remedies . For This
Reason I Showcased A
Collection Based On The
Silhouette Taken From An
Octopus To Tackle The
Problem And Add Power To
My Thought.
77. CONCEPT
At This Stage Of Final Collection With
Conceptual Design Idea I Have Chosen
The Concept Of Raising Voice To
Conserve The Marine Mammals And For
This I Found That My Idea And Thoughts
Could Be Completely Matching With The
Shape Of An Octopus As The Head Of
The Octopus Says That The Problem Is
Wide But When We Human Pledge To
Take That Problem Into Our Hands It
Could Be Solved And Will Diminish With
Time As The Tentacles Of An Octopus.

79. CONCEPT
I Like Things That Speak About Themselves And
Provide A Message Or Inspires Us About Their
Making,
I Found Octopus As More Expressive With My
Concept And Have Made A Conceptual Design Which
Is Inspired From The Various Conceptual Designers
Like Yohji Yamamoto , Jil Sander. And Have Observed
That – The Very Fact Of Unimaginable Always
Becomes Unforgettable – As Said By The Famous
Futuristic Fashion Designer Geoffrey Beene And
Something Being Unimaginable Gives It More A
Feeling Of Something Projecting Ahead Into Future.
With This Ideology , I Got Attracted To The Designers
Who Have Worked With This Influence And As I
Studied During My Education About Conceptual
Collection And It Attracted Me As They Were Beautiful
, Timeless , Ageless And Dislocated From Most Visual
Narratives.
80. CREATIVE RESEARCH
With This Concept In Mind I Had To Design A Dress Based On The Silhouette Of An Octopus . For This I
Researched On The Different Types Of Octopus And Have Collected Their Images .
81. CEPHALOPODS
These deep-sea
cephalopods are well
known for changing
colour to match their
surroundings, The fact
that this happened after
the skin had been
removed from the
octopus proves its
ability to operate
independently.
INDEPENDENT AND CONFIDENT ATTITUDE

Converted The Ideas
From Imagination To
2D Ideation On Paper
And Photoshop

The Illustration Is That
Part Of Ideation In
Which The Designer
Expresses The
Imagination About The
Creation In Front Of
Other Personnel's Like
The Pattern Maker Or
The Garment Engineer
For Further Process.

94. TIE & DYE
After studying the various techniques of
tie and dye. I experimented the methods
of tie and dye on the sample pieces and
observed the results. I got very
fascinated with them and decided to use
it in innovative manner of designing.
Here are the products which I designed
while practicing this art of surface
designing.
Here I took the cloth and dyed it in the
Marbelling technique of tie and dye.
Then used it to mold my design of
handbags by applying it as a bow and on
string of the chain
Another is the short cut pieces from my
samples which I re incarnated in the form
of clips for styling.

96. THE TEMPLE STORY
During My Study Program I Also Took Part
In The Annual Event Of Our College- The
Kaleidoscope And Designed A Traditional
Attire Using Doodling Print Which Was
Done Manually.
For This Work I Chose The Temple Motif
As They Are Referring To Traditional
Theme And Are Commonly Used In Ethnic
Garments Like Saree.
I Searched About The Temple And
Collected Some Of The Pictures Of The
Temples Then Traced Them On To The
Butter Paper To Create Stencil.
After Creating The Stencil I Doodled The
Print On To The Dress With Permanent
Marker Pen And Finally Colored The Gray
Cloth With Fabric Colour.
97. THE TEMPLE STORY
These are some snapshots of the video which I had made on the temple story dress providing the steps of creation.
99. BAGRU VISIT
When We Are Studying In This Practical
Field ,We Need To Know The Practical
Aspect Of The Industry.
To Know How The Industry Works With
Prints, I Went To Bagru For Industrial
Visit.
I Learnt About How They Are Still Working
With Natural Technique To Color The
Fabric.
I Gained Knowledge About The Varieties
Of Resist Dyeing Techniques And Blocks
They Use.
I Also Learnt About The Indigo Dye Which
They Preserved From Years Back And Are
Still Practicing With The Same Process.
Here Are Some Pictures Of Dyes Used In
The Bagru Area Which I Captured.
101. REVIVE MEDIEVAL
I Studied About The Historical Time
Period And Was Attracted Towards The
Medieval Time Period.
In That Era People Were More Into
Embellished Clothing And Preferred
Collars And Cuffs.
The Collars At That Period Were The
Most Adorable Part Of The Dressing
And Even The Men And Women Used
To Have Huge Collars.
After I Learnt About This Time Period I
Found That There Are Various Types
Of Collars And Also Found That
Valentino And Balenciaga Had Worked
With Collars.
This is the huge voluminous
collar made from net and
fusible to keep it stiff
Ruffled collar
Detachable collars
103. CASE STUDYFUNDAMENTAL DRESS
Firstly I Learnt About The Fundamental
Dress That It Combines Two Textures ,
Colors And Lines Which Gives A 3d
Appearance To The Garment.
The Variation Of The Fundamental Dress
With The Use Of Elements And
Principles I Worked By Combining Two
Textures And Colors For Making The Eye
Move From The Shapes Of The
Contours Which Is Created By The
Perfect Use Of Elements In The Dress.
Here I Combined The Front And Back
With Different Colors And Has Shown
The Movement Of Eyes Which Runs
Where The Designer Wants The Viewer
To Look From.
105. CASE STUDYHAND PRINTING
The Printing Is The Process Of Surface
Design Technique Which We Generally
Use To Create Any Fabric Or Garment
Look Attractive.
It Has Various Ways From Which I
Chose The Hand Printing Method Of
Printing And Have Used Various Hand
Made Stencils And Natural And
Creative Technique To Decorate The
Surface Of The Cloth.
I Have Created 3 Samples Of Designs
From Various Stencils, One Is By The
Use Of Tea Cup And Tea As The
Pigment Of Dye.
Making Of Stencil To Create
Shapes On Fabric. These Stencils
Were Created Using Clay And
Were Molded Into Required
Shapes Then They Were Dipped In
Color To Apply On Fabric.
These were the samples
which were created using
the stencils and were then
kept for some time to make
them dry and after that one
sample piece was selected
by me to create pattern .
This is the selected pattern , was made using the tea as a
pigment and was applied by the cup to create bubble design.
106. CASE STUDYDIGITAL PRINTING
As In This Present Time Of
Increasing Use Of Technology I
Learnt About Digital Printing And
Also Had Practiced It For Creating
Prints On Various Garments.
I Learnt The Technique For A Week
And Then Practiced It By Printing
My Own Label And College Logo .
Following Images Shows The
Practice Of Creating Digital
Printing On The Fabric.
First I Have Entered The
Design And Check The Colour
Preview Then I Entered The
Sample Piece Size And Started
The Machinery.
