Designers are Manipulative!

Oct 03, 2011

Yes, designers are manipulative...when it comes to fabrics/clothing of course. I have to say that this week's report on fabric manipulation is one of the most informative reports I had seen to date. It is not because it was our group's rreport but because through this report I have finally figured out how to construct my outfit for a finals fashion show. I have been thinking and worrying about it for weeks now. I was not sure what best suits my model's figure and how to form the clothing that suits her. After our report I have finally gotten answers to my questions and now I think I have figured it out. At least I hope I did. :)

While researching for our report I cam to a realization that fabric manipulation seem limitless. There are so many categories of manipulation and within those categories are more subcategories. It will probably take years for a designer to use up all these manipulation techniques and types; which is probably good because it leaves a lot of room for creativity. That can actually be proven from our class participation during our workshop. We have only presented a few of the method and types of fabric techniques and already our classmates have created a variety of designs with it.

It was a nice feeling to see their creations because in a way they have brought to life our report - from power point and video presentation to actual clothing.
