TREKKING Wool is a crease resistant fabric, and ideal for a cardigan or jumper to keep the wearer warm on cool nights. Tight twill weaves are also ideal to avoid creasing. It is important that the garments are made from crease resistant fabrics so they can be rolled up
Denim is a durable and fashionable fabric, suitable for the style of Miso. Linen is another durable fabric, more durable than cotton, although this creases easily. It is important that the fabrics are durable as they will have to last several months while the wearer is travelling.

Miso DANCING MISO STYLE
Miso is a Republic brand for girly fashionable women. The collections are feminine and stylish, in keeping with current trends, and I must keep this in mind when designing for my customer. Many of the garments feature graphics and prints, so I want ot explore creating my own prints.
BREATHABLE BEACH LIGHTWEIGHT
VERSATILE
The clothes must be lightweight so they are not heavy to carry when travelling, and also so that they are not too warm for the weather when travelling. Some of the garments must be suitable for sunny weather. Cotton polyester is a perfect fabric for t- shirts as it can be printed on and is lightweight and easy to wash.
The designs need to be versatile so that each item can be mixed and matched, for example a dress can be worn in the day, but then dressed up with heels or jewellry for the evening.
