Description Last term I had an Intro to Apparel Design class and in it I pretty much learned the process that goes on to make a garment, from consumer research to designing to development and manufacture to marketing etc. etc.

The final project was to make up a company in our groups (of 3 people) and then come up with a clothing line. My group chose to have a company that made fairy-tale-like clothing and I was the one who drew all the designs for our design board (other boards include the consumer research board, materials board, colours board, retail space board, advertisement board, etc.

I was thinking of various stories like Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Rumpelstiltskin, etc. Clothing features include enlarged buttons to give the illusion of small people, wings under coats to make it look like the wearer has wings, lots of lace, clothing that looks like it's made of leaves and other foliage (like the leaf boots, the vest, everything the fairy lady's wearing, etc.).

We decided our competitors would be companies who make historical clothing, steampunk clothing, eccentric clothing like *Lastwear , and especially companies like Laforet Harajuku in Japan. We'd be the American version of that company.

Thank you! I don't plan on taking these designs any further, but there's some great ideas I definitely will be using in the future.

Thanks! Right now, this is as far as I plan to take it, since it was just an assignment to come up with a faux company and everything else that goes along with it. But I'm sure there's some design aspects I'm going to use sometime in the future...

One of them looks quite a bit like someone I know... who wears those armlet things in the middle of winter with a short sleeved shirt on. (Jees, you'd think she'd be freezing)
I do like the Mad Hatter looking guy. But then again, I always like the Mad Hatter.

WOW things are really getting exciting! I can’t wait to see what is going to be made from these initial ideas! I really like the idea of adding wings under a coat to make it seem like the wearer has them!

Marcusstratus In reply to metranisome [2008-12-22 19:59:46 +0000 UTC]

aye, 'tis a great idea indeed. But as far as what I'm going to be doing with these... not much. These were just for the class and that's all over with. There are some ideas I like that I want to use if future designs, like buttons on the pants, and foliage clothing. But other then that, I'm not planning on actually taking the next step and turning these into garments

Very lovely designs, I especially like the shape of that first yellow dress, yellow isn't my cup of tea but I'd wear that, it's beautiful. Some of the other concepts are really cool too like the wings on the jacket. I hope this project goes well for you.

These are wonderful : D we're currently designing kidswear and our theme is Alice in Wonderland ^_^
I really love the lady in green. What story is she from?

Marcusstratus In reply to ToxicDutch [2008-12-21 20:34:02 +0000 UTC]

Oi! Thanks ^.^

The lady in green, like the others, isn't supposed to be from any one fairy tale. The idea behind the clothes is that it's supposed to make people look as if they came from a fairy tale, their own story. So, you should ask her what fairy tale she's from

Marcus you are so clever! I had a hard time deciding which one I like best but it has to be the man with the wings hanging down from underneath his coat! Great job!

Thank you! Yeah, that guys got a bit more victorian influence, with the buttons going down his pants, the top hat, frock coat, etc.

That's cool. I've always wondered what sort of classes the accessory would intale. And if you do take the minor I look forward to your work! :3

Marcusstratus In reply to Kaster-chan [2008-12-22 19:57:18 +0000 UTC]

yeahh... accessory students learn about making hats and shoes and jewelry and the lot. There's actually alot of classes that both majors take that are very similar.
