The brief for this live project came from the company F&F in which we are required to design, pattern- cut and make a garment for the F&F signature range (occasion wear for parties and formal occasions). The winner of the competition will have their garment made for Christmas 2016. Requirements include a price point of ÂŁ55, which is something we will have to heavily think about in terms of print and fabrics. The garment must reflect the F&F customer. The pattern must be made using Lectra Madaris, but a certain amount of draping would be allowed. A final fit of the final toile in 3D. All of this, including research, inspiration, design ideas and fabric swatches on no more than 4 A4 boards. These A4 boards will be included in our Design Enterprise and Innovation hand-in, but if our design was chosen by F&F we would then have to stay after the hand in to make our garment, which F&F would then chose from this final line up. In order to achieve this I will attend workshops at university in Modaris and Kaledo to widen my knowledge in pattern cutting, print making and spec sheets. Ideas for the style of garment come from the pattern F&F have provided. I will also research into trends for Autumn/ Winter 16in order for my print and fashion design to reflect what F&F want, alongside the moodboard provided, making sure I stay as close to the brief as I can. Iwill also chose an individual theme based on this information. Iwill create a design that can work with a plain fabric and a patterned fabric in which Ican do a comparison with and then decide with tutors, as well as through using the 3D software, which design to enter into the competition.
