FASHION DESIGN the basics
What is fashion design?
Fashion design is a profession or a hobby. If you think about it, every piece of clothing that you or your classmate, or your teacher is wearing is made by a creative individual. Every pair of shoes and all the accessories that you see are made by a designer. So you can see how important fashion is now.
To become fashion designers we should take a look at what a real one does. First of all, there will be an IDEA that you will express on a mood board. A mood board is where all the magic begins. You express your imagination and inspiration there. The inspiration may come from the nature, from a memory, or even from a feeling!
