NEW FLAT DRAWING

Design development 

Based on some of the research done I have developed a new design for my original garments. The changes are small details but they give the garments a different look. 

FLAT DRAWING OF JEANS 

The jeans are now embellished with studs at the bottom of the jeans and at the back left pocket. The pocket I have chosen is the classic one. 

FLAT DRAWING OF THE BLAZER 

The blazer has a different type of lapel called shawl lapel. It has a continuous curve which   I think it gives a feminine look. In addition to welted pockets.

LAPEL & NOTCH

I have done this research on lapels in order to identify which one I would like to use for my design development. Lapels are the folded flaps of fabric that lies flat on the front of a jacket or blazer.

Here are some of the common lapels :

The notch is the meeting point of the collar and the lapel. It's often seen in men's formal jackets to give a sense of length, to make look taller.     

Here are some of the Notches :

S/S Trend

S/S WHITE TREND 

One of the next S/S COLLECTION is the white trend. The designers outfits are composed with simple fabrics such as mesh and sheer. It's very eye-catching and light fabric for S/S.

Here are some examples:

Emilio Pucci - Sheer layers with an sophisticated look 

Moncler Gamme Rouge - Mesh fabric with a feminine assent

Texture also adds an intrigue look to the outfit, like in Balmain collection:

Spring Jackets

 

I was surfing online for fashion news and Grazia Daily had an interesting post on spring jackets. From tailored blazer to biker jackets.

They made a selection from various brands such as Chloe, Marc Jacobs and TOPSHOP, different price pockets to suit each individual.

 

 

Here are some examples:

 

 

 

 

 

Each garment is made from different fabrics, some are more textured others have amazing patterns and others just plain colours.

 

 

 

 

 

There are some spring jackets that have some inspiration into flowers, which is one of the main trend for summer.
