THE DESIGNER'S MIND

 

What makes one fashion look so good on one person and so bad on another is a product of a designer's mind.

 

To understand fashion with clarity is to have a knowledge of its construction. If you talk of construction, then there must be a tool to create the result just as an expert in any profession has. Fashion designers use fabrics but their tools are illusion, color, line, scale and form. Varying combinations of these tools determines what the design will look in various figures. The designers never mix match these elements at random and just hope for the best. Every finish product is a carefully created pieces of art designed for a specific reason.

 

 

Designers trained their eyes to pick what's good and what's bad. They observe and always aware of the trend to make them more knowledgeable of the various ways thier tools can create and to get good value for their customers spending dollar.

 

 

THE DESIGNER TOOL: illusion.

The Importance of Illusion

Fashion designers are experts in creating fashion illusion. What we see in fashion magazines are the exact projection of what these designers have in mind. You can do the same by applying illusion to benefit your style.

 

Illusion is clothing's most important asset. It can make you look authoritative, powerful, rich, responsible, sophisticated, elegant, mysterious, fragile, masculine, feminine,etc.

 

Illusion lets you specify the direction you want to be headed; you can wear a lifestyle you have not; you can look like a top executive or just feel like one, you can even impersonate someone you know.
