Reflection

In this semester fashion details class I have learn and gain lots of new things, it has been a very fruit full 14 week. First of all, I have learn that every garment has different parts with different details. Examples like collar, sleeves, pocket, finishes and fastening. Each single things contribute to form a garment. Secondly, I have learn how to draw a fashion flat (front and back view with details) with precise measurement according to the template. Lastly, I understand how to classify the garment between the high end market and the low end market. By observing the garment’s details we can identify how, why and what makes an expensive high end garment or a cheap low end garment.

Each lesson I have gain some new knowledge, and my understanding in garment’s details are also improving. In addition, I really like the class outing during the tutorial break which we went somerset and orchard to shop at the same time observe different garment’s details. As I can make use of what I learn in class and put it into practice.

Design two different men's shirt
different brand

compare and contrast

Burberry

Top market fashion brand
This is the man's shirt I design for Burberry, with a shirt collar, fitted sleeves, patch pocket with flap and button up fastening. The design and the cutting of the shirt is more fitted to the body and the silhouette is cut slightly generously through the body for additional comfort. It's a very formal shirt, very suitable to wear in office or some occasion.

Topshop/Topman

Low market fashion brand
This is the shirt I design for Topman, also with a shirt collar, long sleeves, two patch pockets and button up fastening. This design is more casual then the Burberry one, the fabric use is denim and it's not so fitted. It's a very comfortable shirt for day wear and active wear.
