<b>Origin:</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Kalamkari (from the Persian words kalam - pen, kari - work) refers to the art of drawing free-hand pictures on a fabric using vegetable dyes.</li>
<li>Typical features of Kalamkari</li>
<li>Like all hand-crafted items, no two kalamkari paintings will look the same. They differ in style, expression, the way limbs are painted, etc.</li>
<li>Some of the notable characteristics of a traditional Kalamkari painting are as follows:</li>
<li> The panel will always have border on all 4 sides, done in traditional designs.</li>
<li> Theme is depicted in the center with the story painted in compartment strips all around. The theme in the center is composed in a circular, rectangular or squarish form. </li>
<li>The first division will mostly depict the artist praying to Lord Ganesha before beginning his work. Figures are very artistic with round faces with large eyes, tilted at an angle of 45 degrees.</li>
<li> Outlines are done in a prominent fashion, thus making it easy to understand the complicated design. Contemporary kalamkari paintings may not adhere to these specifications, as artists are exploring new ways of expression. </li>
</ul><b>Raw materials used</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Kalamkari painting uses only natural products. The cotton cloth used for painting is usually of 60s or 80s count. The cloth is washed, bleached and treated with mordants so that the colors will penetrate well and will be permanently insoluble. It is then painted with required colors using raw materials from the bark, root, leaf and stem of different plants. The list of raw materials would look something like this:- 1)Cotton cloth 2)Cow/buffalo dung - a natural bleaching agent 3)Myrobalan nuts - mordant for black color 4)Iron pieces and jaggery - for preparing black color 5)Alum - mordant for red color 7)Surulpattu - bark of a tree, added with chavalkudi to enhance the red shade 8)Jaji leaves - leveling agents during developing of red color 9)Myrobalan Flowers - for producing yellow color 10)Indigo Blue Cake - extracted from leaves of Indigo plant, for creating blue color 11)Buffalo Milk - added to avoid spreading of color 12)Tamarind Twigs - for making outlines Since the palette is based on natural colors, the range of shades are limited. The basic colors created are black, red, yellow, blue and green. 15 other hues are created by mixing these basic colors.</li>
</ul><b>Block printing</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><li>It is the oldest method of printing designs on fabric using blocks manually.</li>
<li>It is too slow which is not commercially well doing today.</li>
<li>It is done in countries where labor is less costly.</li>
<li>Today block print is done only on certain areas of a product where decoration is needed.</li>
<li>It is majorly used for home furnishing products these days.</li>
<li>To make block print the design must be carved on a wooden or metal block</li>
<li>The dye stuff is applied in a paste form to the design on the face of the block.</li>
<li>The block is pressed down firmly by hand on selected area on the surface of the fabric.</li>
<li>For more colours additional blocks must be made.</li>
<li>The portion in which the print has to be done must be marked or trace before the printing is done.</li>
<li>The more colours printed the more valuable the fabric will be because of the number of hours and no. of labors involved.</li>
<li>Hand block print can be identified by its irregular printing and uneven design detail formation.</li>
<li>These things are rectified in machine printing. They give machine prints the characteristic appearance of expensive hand block print.</li>
</ul><b>Techniques of Block Printing in India</b> <br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Direct Printing : In this technique, the cotton or silk cloth is first bleached. Then the fabric is dyed, unless a light background is desired. Thereafter, the fabric is printed using carved blocks, first the outline blocks, then the ones to fill color.</li>
<li>Resist Printing : In the resist technique, areas that are to be protected from the dye are covered with a mixture of clay and resin. The dyed fabric is then washed. The dye spreads into the protected areas through cracks, producing a rippled effect. Block prints are then used to create further designs.</li>
<li>Discharge Printing : In this technique, the fabric is dyed. Then, a chemical is used to remove the dye from the portions that are to have designs in a different color. These portions are then treated, so they may be re-colored.</li>
<li><b>Process of Block Printing in India</b></li>
<li>The fabric to be printed is first washed free of starch..</li>
<li>The fabric is then stretched over the printing table and secured with pins.</li>
<li>Color is mixed separately and kept ready. So are the blocks. The blocks are made of teak wood and hand-carved. They are soaked in oil for 10-15 days to soften the timber.</li>
<li>The block is pressed down hard on the fabric, to make a clear impression. Thereafter, other blocks are used to fill in color.</li>
<li>Once the fabric is printed, it is dried in the sun. It is then rolled in newspaper to prevent the fabric layers from sticking to each other.</li>
<li>The fabric is then steamed.</li>
<li>Ironing is the last stage.</li>
<li>Block Printing in Punjab</li>
<li>The block printing from Punjab is not as famous as its Rajasthani. The designs were usually floral and geometrical. The colors are light and pastel. </li>
<li>Block Printing in Andhra Pradesh</li>
<li>In Andhra Pradesh, the block printing method is applied in the creation of the exquisite Kalamkari Painting. Kalamkari, as the name suggests, is artwork ( kari ) created with a pen ( kalam ). It is a combination of hand painting and block printing.</li>
<li>The two major centers of Kalamkari art are Sri Kalahasti and Masulipatnam.</li>
<li>The Masulipatnam designs are Iranian in character; the most popular motifs are Persian motifs like trees, creepers, flowers and leaf designs. In Masulipatnam, Kalamkari work is mainly done on bed covers, curtains and garments, using a combination of wooden block printing and hand painting.</li>
<li>In Sri Kalahasti Kalamkari work, temples are a major source of inspiration. It was because of the demand for scrolls and wall hangings with Hindu mythological stories, that Kalamkari flourished in this village. These themes are painted in the panels, and there is a script painted along the border. The popular motifs are Hindu gods and goddesses . The work is done entirely with a brush-like pen.</li>
<li>Block Printing in India is also practiced in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra.</li>
<li>Kalamkari Painting is a widely practised craft form in Srikalahasti (Sri-spider, Kala-serpent and Hasti- elephant, three devotees of Lord Shiva)</li>

<li>Madhubani paintings or Mithila Paintings is a style of Indian painting, practiced in the Mithila region of Bihar state, India.</li>
<li>The Madhubani painting or Mithila Painting are originated at the time of the Ramayana, when King Janak commissioned artists to do paintings at the time of marriage of his daughter, Sita, to Hindu god Lord Ram.</li>
<li>Madhubani means forests of honey</li>
<li>Here the women of the village maintain a dominance over the craft. </li>
<li>They paint figures from nature and myth on household and village walls to mark the seasonal festivals for special events.</li>
<li>The painting was traditionally done on freshly plastered mud wall of huts, but now it is also done on cloth, hand-made paper and canvas.</li>
<li>For colours they use vegetable extracts.</li>
</ul><b>Themes of Madhubani Paintings:</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Madhubani paintings mostly depict nature and Hindu devotional events, and the themes generally revolve around Hindu gods like Krishna, Ram, Shiva, Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati. </li>
<li>Natural objects like the sun, the moon, and the religious plants like tulsi are also widely painted, along side scenes from the royal courts and social events like weddings. </li>
<li>Generally no empty space is left the gaps are filled by paintings of flowers, animals, birds, and even geometric designs</li>
<li>Step 1: Choose a design</li>
<li>Step 2: First draw the required pattern on the trace paper and copy the design into the cloth/paper using carbon sheet.</li>
<li>Step3: If using Cloth Paint using fabric colours and let it dry well. Use Poster colours for paper. The colours are applied flat with no shading. There is normally a double line drawn for the outlines, with the gap between the lines filled by cross or straight tiny lines. In the some painting, no colours are applied. Only the outlines are drawn.</li>
<li>Step4: Draw outlines using the black colour and again leave it to dry for 24 hours. If applying on cloth iron on the back side of the cloth.</li>

<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Warli Painting is an ancient tradition of Indian folk art form of painting of a tribes known as Warli belonging to Maharashtra.</li>
<li>The Warli painting derives its name from a small tribe which inhabits the remote areas of Maharashtra. The Warlis are mainly a tribe which depend mainly on agriculture and they live in mud-huts.</li>
<li>Which are built is such a way that they all encircle a central cell. During the time of harvest, happy moments like births and wedding, the houses of Warlis are decorated with a vocabulary of patterns. This practice encouraged to what it is presently called the Warli Paintings.</li>
<li>Warli paintings largely demonstrate the basic components of life which are the primary themes or basis of any tribe.</li>
</ul><b>Style of Warli Paintings </b><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Warli Paintings are characterized by the simple style.</li>
<li>Colour use in the Warli paintings is limited to stark white opposite to earthen backgrounds.</li>
<li>Most of the paintings are dominated by geometrical design like lines and dots.</li>
<li>The monochromatic tribal paintings express different types of folk imaginations, customs and beliefs.</li>
<li> Symbolism in Warli Paintings Birds, trees, women and men together. </li>
<li>Even spiral formations of men and women and concentric circular designs in Warli Paintings are symbolic of the circle of life. </li>
<li>There are several paintings which look very simple but are symbol. The Warli Paintings do not take the help of religious images.(N0)</li>
<li>The most frequent theme of Warli paintings is marriage. Several paintings portray the marriage god called Palghat, attended by a horse and the groom and the bride. </li>
<li>In recent times, these paintings also include a few modern elements like bicycles or transistors tucked in corners of the paintings. </li>
<li>Great epics or mythology are not narrated in the Warli paintings. Painted on mud, surface based on charcoal along with rice paste in order to get the white colour,.</li>
<li>Typically Warlis are simply painted on mud, charcoal and cow dung treated surfaces with rice</li>
<li>paste for the colour white.</li>
<li>The colours used were not permanent .</li>
<li>Typical Warli Paintings Background colours</li>
<li>Warlis typically use:</li>
<li>Henna</li>
<li>Indigo</li>
<li>Black</li>
<li>Earthy mud</li>
<li>Brick red</li>
<li>But you can always Experiment with background colour. As contrast to typical Warli background try and experiment with vibrant colours.Can even combine two colours to make the background...Just like half red and half black in the Warli above. </li>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><b>Tie and dye </b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><li>The technique of resist dyeing by knotting individual areas of a fabric is usually known in India as bandhani or bandhej.</li>
<li>This technique is also referred by the south east asians as plangi, and in Japan it is known as shibori.</li>
<li>There is no evidence to say when bandhini cloths were first made in india.</li>
<li>Our early evidence for the use of these cloths in india is depicted on the walls of the ajanta caves.</li>
<li>Before the process the fabric needs to be bleached.</li>
<li>To achieve the symmetry and to save time the cloth will be folded in to two or as many folds wil be given if it is a fine fabric.</li>
<li>The method more often used nowadays is for the designer to draw the design or block print it on the fabric using charcoal or chalk powder.</li>
<li>The fabric will be pinched in a series of dots along the line.</li>
<li>The most widely used element in bandhini are the simple dots called bindi which is formed by pinching and tying the fabric.</li>
<li>Square and round motifs are common which is usually called laddu and dabbi.</li>
<li>The cloth can be dyed before tying which gives a variety of colored dots.</li>
<li>Another method of colouring dots is to dye the thread and wrap it around the cloth while it is wet.</li>
<li>Usually thin cotton or malmal can be used for this process as the dye must penetrate the whole tightly roed fabric.</li>
<li>The dye used today for all type of bandhini work are amost synthetic </li>

</div><b>Ikat textiles</b> <br />
<b>History of Ikat Textiles</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><li>The term ikat is from the Malay- Indonesian word called “Mangikat”. Which means bind or knot around.</li>
<li>Ikat or resist dyeing involves the sequence of tying and dyeing sections of bundled yarns prior to weaving.</li>
</ul><b>The three basic forms of ikat are single, combined and double ikat.</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Single ikat: Either warp or weft threads are tied and dyed prior to weaving.</li>
<li>Combined ikat: Both warp and weft ikat exist in different parts of the fabric occasionally overlapping.</li>
<li>Double ikat: It is the most complex form in which both the warp and weft yarns are tied and dyed before weaving where both axis mesh exactly to form a compete motif or a pattern.</li>
<li>Many of the world’s ancient culture practiced single ikat but the most complex double ikat exist only in India(patola).</li>
<li>The famous Patola weaving is known for its colorful geometrical pattern</li>
<li>These patterns were discovered in the 16th and 17th century paintings in the south indian temples and places like Tiruchirapalli.</li>
<li>Rare musical instruments are wrapped only with patola fabric.</li>
<li>In India specially in Gujarat patola have been worn in the form of saree by women of high social standings.</li>
<li>It symbolized wealth, and culture which is worn during marriage or festivals. </li>
<li>They are also used as coverings for royal elephants and horses or hangings in temples.</li>
<li>Patola fabrics are considered to be pure and auspicious was worn by the king every morning for his visit to the temple.</li>
<li>The time taken to compete one patolu from pre-loom to post-loom stage takes six months.</li>
</ul><b>Ikat textiles of Andhra Pradesh</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><li>In 1900s it was fashionable for ladies from wealthy families of Hyderabad to wear ikat dupattas to cover themselves.</li>
<li>Dark areas on these fabrics were embellished with intricate motifs embroidered with cotton, silk, silver and gold thread.</li>
<li>Ikat mashru textiles were also believed to have been woven in Hyderabad during the Nizam period.</li>
<li>During the 1950s the ikat technique spread to pochampalli which is one of the leading producer of double ikat today.</li>
<li>Pochampalli specializes in silk saris of both single and double ikat for the urban and semi urban market.</li>
<li>Today Andhra Pradesh is the largest exporter of ikat fabrics from India.</li>
<li>Ikat technique</li>
<li>Ikat or yarn resist dyeing involves the sequence of tie and dyeing sections of bundled yarns to form some colour scheme or pattern prior to weaving.</li>
<li>The beauty of the fabric is its blurred fuzzy appearance .</li>
<li>Ikat patterns are also done by pulling sections of dyed yarns and the most common patterns are diagonals, chevrons.</li>
<li>The vegetable dyes are now changed to chemical dyes.</li>
<li>The process of degumming and bleaching will be done before starting with dyeing.</li>
<li>Thw warping will be for 19 mts which is equal to 3 saris.</li>
<li>For design formation they maintain a graph sheet.</li>

<ul><li>It is a long continues length of interlocked fibers twisted which is used in weaving, knitting, sewing, crochet, embroidery.. Etc.</li>
</ul><b>Yarn twist</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><ul><li>The amount of twist is the important factor in finished consumer’s goods. It determines the appearance and durability of the fabric.</li>
<li>Fine yarns needs more twist than the coarse yarn (e.g.).: warp needs more twist than the weft.</li>
<li>Twist setting finish is given to retain the twist with heat or moisture.</li>
<li>Amount of twist also depends upon the fabric to be woven.</li>
<li>Soft surface fabric needs slack twist, they are called soft twist yarns.</li>
<li>Smooth surface fabric needs more twist which gives strength, smoothness, elasticity, and wrinkle resistance.</li>
<li>By holding the yarn in a vertical position we can observe the direction of twist.</li>
<li>There are two types of twist "S" and "Z"</li>

</div><div><b>Simple yarn:</b></div><ul><li>When the staple of filament fibers are twisted together it forms a simple yarn.</li>
<li>The yarn strength will not be high as it is just twisted with the fibers.</li>
</ul><b>Ply yarn:</b><br />
<ul><li>When two or more yarns simple yarns are twisted together they are called ply yarns. They are called as 2 ply, 3 ply and so on..</li>
</ul><b>Cabled yarn:</b><br />
<ul><li>When two or more ply yarns are twisted they are called cabled yarn.</li>
<li>It is considered by twisting the plied yarns around each other in opposite direction. (e.g.) Z/S/Z or S/Z/S.</li>

<b>Fabric making introduction:</b><br />
There are so many different ways in fabric making like…<br />
<ol><li>Weaving</li>
<li>Knitting</li>
<li>Non woven</li>
<li>Braiding</li>
<li>Knotting</li>
<li>Felting</li>
<li>Leather</li>
<li>Fur</li>
</ol><b>Weaving:</b><br />
<ul><li>The vertical yarns are called the warp yarns or ends.</li>
<li>The horizontal yarns are called weft yarns or picks.</li>
<li>By interlacing the warp and the weft yarns alternatively the fabric is formed.</li>
<li>Warp will be more strong than the weft as it is mounted to the loom in high tension.</li>
<li>Weft can be either strong or weaker according to the end product.</li>
</ul><br />

<b>Essential weaving operation:</b><br />
<ul><li>In any type of weaving four operations are fundamental they are</li>
<li><b>Shedding, Picking, Beating, Taking up and Letting off.</b></li>
<li><b>Shedding</b>: Raising specific warp yarns with the help of the hardness or heddle frame.</li>
<li><b>Picking</b>: Inserting filling yarns through the shed.</li>
<li><b>Beating</b>: Pushing filling yarns firmly in place with the help of reed.</li>
<li><b>Taking up and Letting off </b> :Winding the finished fabric on the cloth beam and releasing more warp from the warp beam.</li>
</ul><b>There are two types of loom hand loom and power loom:</b><br />
<ul><li>Hand loom: Hand loom means a loom powered by hand and it is operated manually production is less.</li>
<li>Power loom: It is operated with the help of electricity where the production is more.</li>
<li>Shuttle loom: It contains a shuttle with bobbin of filling yarn. It is the oldest kind of loom. The disadvantage is that the shuttle sometimes causes abrasion on the warp while passing through and causes yarn breaks which stops the machine.</li>
<li>Shuttle less loom: To overcome the disadvantage of shuttle loom different kinds of shuttle less looms have been developed</li>
</ul><br />

<b>What is a Saree</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>The saree / Sari is a traditional garment for women. Sari / Saree comprises a long single piece of fabric, approximately 5-6 metres in length and 1 metre in width, expertly wound around a woman's body, with the loose end thrown over the shoulder called pallu. Worn with a choli, or short, fitting blouse, the fabric itself can be very detailed.</li>
<li>In ancient Indian tradition the navel of the Supreme Being is considered to be the source of life and creativity, hence the midriff is to be left bare by the saree.</li>
<li>The oldest Indian draped garment and men wear dhoti. They say that until the 14th century, the dhoti was worn by both men and women.</li>
</ul><b>Brocades of Banaras</b><br />
<ul><li>Brocade weaving, especially with gold and silver, has been an age-old tradition in India.</li>
<li>There are two broad classes of brocades. Brocades of pure silk or silk and cotton blends and zari brocades with gold and silver threads.</li>
<li>Banaras is one of the rich weaving craft centre of India, famous for Brocade saris. (In UP)</li>
<li>As in the History of the India Banaras is known since regveda period of Ramayana and Mahabharat Banarasi Sharee and Fabrics as known Hiranya Vastra.</li>
<li>In the ancient time Banaras was famous for the weaving of cotton saree and dress materials, but slowly switched over to silk weaving, during the Mughal period weaving of brocades with intricate designs using gold & Silver threads was the speciality of Banaras.</li>
<li>Most brocades usually have strong Mughul influences in the design, such as intricate intertwining floral and foliate motifs.</li>

<li>Baluchari refers to the traditional weaving of silk saris using bengal silk.</li>
<li>The cloth is very fine and transparent with a soft drape</li>
<li>The sari has large flowing kalka motifs in the centre surrounded by narrow ornamental borders.</li>
<li>These are framed by a series of figural motifs worked in rows around the kalkas.</li>
<li>The four traditional colours are blue, yellow, red and green. The motifs are entirely in silver zari. </li>

<br />
<ul><li>Fashion illustration is the communication of fashion that originates with illustration, drawing and painting.</li>
<li>Fashion illustration has been around for nearly 500 years.</li>
<li>Ever since clothing has been in existence there was a need to translate ideas into a garment there has been a need for fashion illustration.</li>
<li>Fashion illustration shows the presence of the fabric texture through the art and gives a visual luxury.</li>
<li>It found a decline in late 1930s when vogue began to replace its illustrated cover page with photographic images.</li>
<li>Now it has gone from being one of the sole means of fashion communication and having a very minor role.</li>
<li>Some of the famous past illustrators are Andy Warhol (coco cola bottle, tomato sauce, bottle, and Marilyn Monroe), Kenneth Paul Block, Antonio Lopez, etc…</li>
<li>Initially the tailors or the dress makers used artist’s help to transfer their ideas on the paper.</li>
<li>Those illustrations had natural figures which gradually changed towards exaggerated fashion illustrations.</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Art and costumes in the 20th century</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>The invention of photography made artists themselves to move away from representing reality and moved gradually from the impressionist representation of the world towards greater abstraction.</li>
<li>In the earlier centuries the work of artist showed how clothing appeared and at the same time the lines, proportion, and decoration of clothing embodied the artistic spirit.</li>
<li>In 20th century much of the art does not show us how clothing appeared but we can still see many connections between the visual art and dress in areas such as line and proportion in the design of textiles.</li>
<li>The issue of considering clothing as an art arose only after the establishment of haute couture</li>
<li>If we accept the idea of the designer as an artist work it is not surprising to find that like other artist of any period .</li>
<li>The designer produce at least two new lines of clothing each year.</li>

Fashion acceptance is usually described as a fashion cycle.<br />
The fashion cycle is usually depicted as a bell shaped curve with 5 stages.<br />
<ol><li>Introduction</li>
<li>Rise in popularity</li>
<li>Peak of popularity</li>
<li>Decline in popularity</li>
<li>Rejection</li>
</ol><b>Introduction of a style</b><br />
<ul><li>Most new styles are introduced in the high level.</li>
<li>Designers creates the designs with few limitations on creativity, quality of raw material or amount of fine workmanship.</li>
<li>The create new apparel and accessory style by changing elements like line shape color ect…</li>
<li>Product costs are high and only few can afford.</li>
<li>Production in small quantity gives the designer more freedom, flexibility.</li>
<li>New products are shown to retail buyers and press.</li>
<li>At the first stage of cycle, fashion implies only style and newness.</li>
<li>Celebrities, TV stars, models buy these clothes as they want to wear them in some events.</li>
</ul><b>Increase in popularity</b><br />
<ul><li>When new styles are seen worn by celebrities on TV or magazines they attract the attention of the general public.</li>
<li>Viewers may wish to buy the new styles but perhaps cannot afford them.</li>
<li>Manufactures use less expensive fabric and modify the designs to sell in low price.</li>
<li>Some companies also do imitation of designer originals at low prices.</li>
<li>High priced designers now have secondary sales line which sell at lower prices so they are able to sell adoptions of their original designs in great quantity.</li>
</ul><b>Peak of popularity</b><br />
<ul><li>When fashion is at height of popularity it may be in such demand that more manufactures copy it or produce adaptations of it at many price levels.</li>
</ul><b>Decline in popularity</b><br />
<ul><li>After so many designs copies are mass produced, people get tired of that style and begin to look for something new.</li>
<li>Consumers still wear garments in style but they don’t buy them at regular prices.</li>
<li>Retail stores put declining styles on the sale rack.</li>
</ul><b>Rejection of a style</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>In the past fashion cycle some consumers must have already turned to new look.</li>
<li>The rejection of a style just because it is out of fashion is called consumers obsolescence.</li>
<li>“FASHION WEARS OUT MORE APPAREL THAN THE MAN”</li>
</ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAYPbpfYtGyNgkhwKVnYtROSy7I7ms07SPKt3u5j6OfJpxsHZ4BAqha29lRhxpnRN9EccZBctxe9dYv6wjR4vjWoqdUc_YSFjZfJitE2vSrsU7D7t2qRB97kiSP7fRDuep3naXxYf-NdUP/s1600/Picture3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="262" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAYPbpfYtGyNgkhwKVnYtROSy7I7ms07SPKt3u5j6OfJpxsHZ4BAqha29lRhxpnRN9EccZBctxe9dYv6wjR4vjWoqdUc_YSFjZfJitE2vSrsU7D7t2qRB97kiSP7fRDuep3naXxYf-NdUP/s400/Picture3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br />
</div><b>Length of cycles</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>Fashion always follows the same cyclic pattern.</li>
<li>There is no measurable time table for a fashion cycle.</li>
<li>Some takes short time to peak and popularity and some takes longer.</li>
<li>Some decline slowly some very fast</li>
<li>Some styles will sell in a single season some several seasons</li>
<li>Some fashion fades quickly others never disappear.</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Classic</b><br />
<b></b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>Some styles never become complete obsolete, but interest remain more or less accepted for an extended period.</li>
<li>Jeans, A-line kurtha, polo shirt, loafers and sari is a very good example for classic fashion.</li>
</ul><b>Fads</b><br />
<ul><li>Short lived fashion is called fad.</li>
<li>They lack the design strength to hold consumers attention for a long time.</li>
<li>Piercing, tattoos, spikes, sleeves, neck lines…are some good examples for fads.</li>
</ul><b>Cycles within cycles</b><br />
<ul><li>Design elements such as colour, texture, silhouette may change even though the style itself remains popular.</li>
<li>Jeans is a good example (skin fit, boot cut, low waist, high waist, different washes, torn jeans)</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Fashion theories</b><br />
<b>Adaptation of fashion</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>To understand how new fashion ideas are spread and how they are adapted to the taste, life-style and budgets of various costumers.</li>
<li>Basically there are three variations of the fashion adaptation process traditional adaptation, reverse adaptation, and mass dissemination.</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Trickle-down theory (traditional adaptation)</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>It is based on the traditional process of copying and adapting trendsetting fashion from, Paris, London, New York designers.</li>
<li>Couture designer fashion is expensive and it is affordable by only a few people.</li>
<li>Those designs are copied again and again at lower prices until they have been seen often by the conservative buyers.</li>
<li>It starts from to high fashion to the common people.</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Trickle-up theory (reverse adaptation)</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>It starts from street fashion to high fashion.</li>
<li>Since 1960s designers and manufactures pay more attention to the customers innovations .</li>
<li>They watch people on street to find ideas.</li>
<li>The “gypsy” look is a good example of a street look which reached the runway.</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Trickle-across theory (mass dissemination)</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>Modern communications bring fashion from around the world into our homes instantly.</li>
<li>Many separate markets have developed to various age range, life style, tastes.</li>
<li>Various designer and manufacturer labels appeal to various market segments at different price points.</li>
<li>Mass production means that many different styles can be accepted at a same time.</li>

<li>During 18th century Paris became the fashion capital of Europe.</li>
<li>The textile industries grew in the French cities supplying with silk fabric, ribbon and laces.</li>
</ul><b>Hand sewing by dress makers and tailors</b><br />
<ul><li>All cloths are not only hand made but also custom made.</li>

<li>Poor people wore cast off clothing from the rich or made their own clothing.</li>
</ul><b>Growth of couture</b><br />
<ul><li>The costume made garments are called as couture.</li>
<li>France became the center of fashion because of the development of silk industry.</li>

<li>Haute couture was found in the same period in which the sewing machine was invented.</li>
<li>The father of haute couture is Charles worth who was the first successful designer born in England and came to Paris at the age of 20.</li>
<li>He took prominent women as his clients like wife of emperor Napoleon III.</li>
<li>Other couture houses followed Worth.</li>

</ul><b>Mass production of clothing</b><br />

<li>The more obvious of these was in a move by women in more into more comfortable, and practical clothes that were required for their more active participation in the variety of jobs that they had taken over from men</li>
<li>During the war women worked in factories and it was dangerous to have long hair and long dresses. Women working in factories had to cut their hair, and raise hemlines.</li>
<li>The war affected colors and fabrics. Wool was in shot supply as it was used to manufacture the uniform for fighting men. The scarcity of chemicals used for certain dye stuff restricted the use of dark color.</li>

A complimentary colour scheme is a selection of two colours from each end of the wheel, for example red and green. Despite the word complimentary, they look pretty terrible if used together.<br />

<b>Analogous Colours</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Analogous colours are colours that appear next to each other on the wheel. Taking a colour scheme of analogous colours is a great start to any design, as they harmonize really well.<br />

<br />
<ul><li>Design refers to a plan or a skill full way of doing a sketch or drawing which is visualized and then represented for the construction of an object.</li>
</ul><br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;">Elements of design</span></b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>Design elements are the basic units of a visual image.</li>
<li>Line, Colour, Texture, Shape, and Form are the elements of design.</li>
</ul><b>Line</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>Lines have several aspects including direction, thickness, sharpness, and length. There are two types of lines</li>
<li>Straight lines (vertical, horizontal, diagonal, zigzag), Curved lines.</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Straight lines</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>They are opposite to curved lines they are rigid and crisp.</li>
<li>Each direction are straight lines creates an optical illusion.</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Vertical lines</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>They generally add height or length to the body and make it look more narrow.</li>
<li>It is a favored line direction for those who wish to look taller.</li>
<li>Vertical lines repeated can add width. Closely spaced parallel vertical lines may lead the eye in upward direction. But if the space gets increased the eye may begin to measure the width.</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Horizontal lines</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>They generally add width and shorten the body. They can attract attention towards one part of the body.</li>
<li>They carry the eye across the body. Horizontal lines by spacing can produce the illusion of length.</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Diagonal lines</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>They always shows a movement or motion. They are slimming because they direct the eye over body curves at an angle.</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Zigzag lines</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>It is a series of connecting diagonal lines. It forces the eye to shift abruptly and repeatedly. They tend to increase the size of the area covered by them.</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Curved lines</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>Curves are graceful, flowing, gentle. It attracts attention and soften the area. It can even add weight to a thin person.</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Colour</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>By passing light through a prism that refracted or bent the light rays into a spectrum of colours.</li>
<li>Colour is contained in light and it does not exist in the absence of light.</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Primary Colours</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>The three primary colours are red, yellow and blue. These are the base.</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Secondary Colours </b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>Mix two primary colours together and you’ll get a secondary colour.</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Tertiary Colours</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>Mix together a primary and a secondary and you’ll end up with a tertiary colour</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Textures </b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>It is a feel of a surface.</li>
<li>There are two types of texture</li>
<li>Visual and Tactile.</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Visual texture</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>It is the way the surface of an object looks like it feels.</li>
<li>It may look rough, fizzy, but cannot actually be felt.</li>
<li>Example: ply wood.</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Tactile textures </b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>It is the way the surface of an object actually feels.</li>
<li>Example: sand paper, tree bark.</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Shape</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>It is a self contained defined area of geometric or organic form.</li>
<li>A positive shape in a painting automatically forms a negative space.</li>
<li>It can also show perspective by overlapping.</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Form </b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>It is a three dimensional object.</li>
<li>It can be measured by its height, width, and depth.</li>
<li>It is also defined by light and dark.</li>
<li>There are two types of forms geometric and natural.</li>
</ul><br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;">Principles of design</span></b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>The principle of design (i.e. the unique arrangement of the element) is based on some aesthetic system.</li>
<li>The principles of design govern the relationships of the elements used and organize the composition as a whole.</li>
<li>The principles of design consist of:</li>
<li>Balance, harmony, emphasis, proportion, rhythm.</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Balance</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>It can be either symmetrical or asymmetrical.</li>
<li>It can be achieved by the location of object, volume or size and also by colours.</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Harmony</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>Harmony is achieved through the sensitive balance of variety and unity.</li>
<li>Color harmony may be achieved using complementary or analogous colors.</li>
<li>Harmony may be visually pleasing and harmony is when some of the objects like drapes.</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Emphasis</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>It is dominance or a concentration of interest in one area of a design as the centre of attention.</li>
</ul><b>Proportion</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>Proportion is the design principle concerned with the relation of the size of the part to the whole and to each other.</li>
<li>It includes height, width, depth, and the surrounding space of each design.</li>
</ul><br />
<b>Rhythm</b><br />
<br />
<ul><li>It is a pleasing sense of organized movement that gives continuity to a design.</li>
<li>Without rhythm a design may appear spotty or disconnected.</li>
<li>It is also seen in the progression, gradation, or orderly sequence of gradually increasing or decreasing changes in sizes of elements or image.</li>
