Who decides what is in fashion? 

• Fashion bloggers 

• Street style

• Fashion predictors 

• High-end designers 

• Magazine editors 

What is fast fashion? 

Fast fashion is on trend clothes for the younger generation (16-20 yr old) who are into fashion and latest trends. It is mostly cheap clothes in the high street shops which are very affordable so once it is out of fashion it can be thrown away. 

What is classic fashion? 

Classic fashion is timeless pieces which are always in fashion and never out. Older men and women who are interested in fashion tend to go for this look as they don't have much time to go shopping. And it is usually abit more pricey than fast fashion because the quality is much more better. 

Trickle down effect/bubble up effect

The trickle down effect first starts off by famous celebrity's who are in the public eye a lot for there great styles then fashion bloggers are inspired by there look and then average people who are just interested in fashion. The bubble up effect is when high end fashion designers get inspiration by street style and just the opposite way up.

- Selfridges

- RiverIsland

Why is fashion pre-planned? 

Fashion is pre-planned so high end designers have enough time to make a collection that is on trend to start trends. And so the designers and shops know what will sell and what won't so they are not wasteing money.

 This is a memory aide for different types of skirts.

Here is a little toile I made to demonstrate how to make and measure a circular skirt. I cut out a semi circle out of fabric to show the front of a circular skirt.

Here are size 12 front and back patterns i have cut out to make a pencil skirt. 

I used a size 12 template to cut it out by hand.

Here I have made the front of a pencil skirt which is a sample. Obviously, if i was to make a skirt for wear the fabric and the colour would be different.

How to make a flared skirt. This will show me where to add the seam allowance and where to add the darts if i make this flared skirt in the future 

Here is a diagram to show me how to make a pencil skirt. The diagram is detailed enough so that even someone with no relevant experience could follow it because i have added all the measurments and seam allowences.  

Here is a checklist from this lesson which i completed and i also drew how to make a waist band at the bottom. 

Here I have shown how i can shorten and lengthen a skirt. This diagram shows how measurments can be used to alter the lenght of the skirt

Here I have made a puffed sleeve to demonstrate my understanding of this area. I used a pattern to cut out the material for the sleeve and then used a sewing machine to sew the materials together.

Here is pattern which i will eventually use to make a puffed sleeve. I liked the apperence of this pattern which is why I chose it.

Above and below i have high end and high street sleeve formats. The high end sleeves are very impressive but inpractical. The high street clothes while perhaps less fashionable are obviously designed for everyday wear.

Here is a diagram to show me how to make a pattern for a puffed sleeve in the future if necessary.

Here is a diagram to show how to make a gathered head sleeve.
