FASHION: the questions when designing

colour, price?

front back sides? straps? same different?

material. material colour, shape, texture, price, weight, flow, statment


different markets, european market, asian, american?

give different variations of colour. which looks better? find an audience? Facebook? shading patone colours. 

follow trends or set your own?

whats your signature/statment/ ethos?

sizes? who is the clients. regular sizes. bigger, petite, tall?

different coloured parts - straps, pockets, 3d, sides, zips, interior, double layers??

popular base colours that never go out of fashion
age range?
office, everyday, party, shopping bag?
idea of laser cut images? people, animals, female styles

drawing over current designs to see about shape and size changes? or added pocket?



mens sports material. strong. stretchy. use of pulled in cinched bag. 






pattern
shape, form
width

long
short




interesting fabric ideas:
Lining. Pleated and sewn into. Cut on bias and singed edges. Can create reptile like effect. 


Outside pockets or inside. 
Overall appearance vs practicality. 
Size effected? Shape effected. Design effected.

 does a certain design mean it becomes harder to make, easier, cheaper more expensive?? 

How can it be simplified. Easier = less time = less money = overall profit

Where is opening and closing. How is is fastening. Is this practical, can it support weight? 

Durability. Material. Colour, how it's put together. 

Thread strength and security. Flexible, breathable? 


Material weight/density and mobility. 

How easy/practical to use to wear to move. 


What's it like on? Fit? Appearance? 





ordinary/ unique/ couture/ simple/ comfortable/ practical
