Fashion Design



Prototype

Reflection
When I was working on my fashion assignment there were two main things that were challenging for me. The first obstacle I encountered was redesigning traditional clothes. I wanted to alter it in my own taste; however, keeping sense of the culture I chose was very difficult for me. When I was researching, I realized that I can collaborate the modern design and the traditional design, so that is why I designed the high-low skirt. In this way, I could still keep the traditional culture which is represented by flowiness and modern culture represented by the high-low skirt. Another obstacle I encountered was to recreate embroidered details which can be often seen in the original culture. I figured that it requires difficult techniques, so I used other fabric for the details. In this way, it was more achievable to recreate the similar details.
Reflection
This project is I feel the most confident of. From this project, I learnt that there are so many steps taken by fashion designers to make one cloth which we may be wearing it normally. There were some challenges I faced. The biggest challenge was to modify the traditional clothes in my own way. For me, I wanted to collaborate modern and traditional culture. However, it was difficult to keep tradition without being too cliche. In one dress, I could put many elements of Mexican culture, so I think it is important to research and being inspired by the information in designing process. This will be something I would be doing for my future projects.
