Technical fashion design is a relatively new discipline that helps designers get their design vision produced in the current industrial manufacturing complex. A good technical designer can save a fashion designer time in development, cost of development, and untold hours of grief through the application of their specific knowledge. Understanding what textiles work, what sort of manufacturing requirements a garment or accessory may have, and how a product needs to be constructed to reduce production difficulties is knowledge which is not commonly taught in design schools. And it is precisely this sort of information and skill that our technical designers bring to bear on any project, to help fashion designers of all level of expertise get their product factory-ready. With this service, our consultants work closely with the fashion designer, guiding their material choices and offering input into best production methods for the designer's marketplace. And, although we recommend that this service be engaged before the design process begins, a design at any stage of the cycle may be brought to us for assistance. If a designer has a vision that absolutely cannot be realized through mass manufacturing, we'll be straight about that fact with her, but we will also offer suggestions that may enable her to realize her design vision in other ways. Whether a designer simply wants input on her work, or she needs a full factory-ready technical specification, Fashion Research Institute's technical designers can help. Please contact us with an image of the garment or collection you want produced and give as much detail about the proposed marketplace and factory/ies as possible, and we will be happy to respond with a services quote for the technical design portion only. |
