for fashion.

Š 2013

congrats, ccaD Designers


WelCOme tO the 2O13 FAShiOn lOOKbOOK! It’s supremely fitting that we’re looking closely at process this year. Because there’s simply nothing an artist or designer likes better. It’s what transforms an idea into an achievement. In the case of this book, process is the first conversations among students and faculty about how to approach the senior collections. The sketches and swatches and mood boards. The draping. The dyeing. The sewing. The critiques and rehearsals and meetings. Pre-jury photo shoots. Post-jury photo shoots. Interviews. Ads, posts, tweets, tickets! THE SHOW! process, in other words, is what we pretty much call the fun part. And its results are now in your hands. Fresh, vivid, surprising— just like the wave of creative talent that will graduate this year from CCAD. Enjoy!

Dennison W. Griffith President, Columbus College of Art & Design


Before it walks down a runway, Before it hits the red carpet, Before it hangs on a rack,

it iS pARt OF A pROceSS.

For some designers, the process is methodical. For others, it’s unpredictable. But no matter what it entails, we all know that it’s just as important as the finished product. Because while the garments we create help others define their style, the process helps us define ours.

Step One

inSpirAtiOn before it was a dress, a blouse, or even a collar, it was a vision that existed only in the mind of the designer. before that, it was nothing at all. and that’s where this stage of the process starts. INSPIRATION can come in many shapes and forms. Some

students sort through bolt after bolt of fabric, waiting for something to pop out at them. Others spark their imaginations by looking at architecture or paintings, or even listening to songs. Still others are inspired by experiences—both in their own lives and in the lives of others. The bottom line is, there’s no one “right” way to get inspiration. This part of the process is highly personal, and often unpredictable. But without it, there wouldn’t be an idea to begin with—and there would be nothing to send down the runway at the end. 05_ Step _1 inSpiRAti0n

the idea is in place, the mood boards have been created, and the sketches have been drawn. now, it’s time to explore all the options.

EXPERIMENTATION is a necessary part of the fashion design process. It’s very rare to get something right on the first try—and even when designers think they have, most keep working just to have something to compare it to.

So they take it apart. Put it back together in different ways. Play with different fabrics and pattern concepts. Sometimes, they improve upon their original idea. Other times, they end up right back where they started— or find themselves going in an entirely new direction. But no matter where they land, they’ve explored enough options to be confident that they’re moving forward with the right one. 1"

Step thRee

cOnStructiOn after it’s been dreamed up, sketched out, designed, and redesigned, it can finally be turned into something real.

CONSTRUCTION is where a concept starts to transform into a

real, tangible garment. This stage depends heavily on the details: the tiny stitches, the unexpected embellishments, the perfectly tailored seams. It can be a time-consuming and stress-inducing endeavor, but it all adds up to a polished piece that’s a true, wearable representation of the designer’s vision.
