Abstract
Technical specifications of the fashion designs should be made into written form to produce a clothing collection. Thus, the designer visualizes his/her idea using technical drawings. To fully realize his/her idea, it is important that the designer should provide the details regarding the technical specifications correctly. Because while a clothing collection is produced, it goes through many processes by different people. That the designer introduces technical specifications in detail provides accurate production of the collection. In this study, the fashion design process is gathered under fifteen headings as identification of target market, research of fashion trends, determination of concept, identification of colors, selection of fabrics, determination of auxiliary materials, description of line, preparation of concept board, illustration of clothing designs, drawing of technical designs, formation of measurement charts, description of sewing instructions, indication of measurements, preparation of patterns and computing costs. In addition to these headings, the technical specifications covering the process are also considered. Lastly, the suggestions on teaching of the technical specifications in fashion design education are presented. The aim of this study is the technical specifications in the fashion design process to be learned. Therefore, the suggestion for integration of the information that is learned during fashion design education which requires a long lasting infrastructure is presented. In fashion design education, it is important to provide education in design and production process. In this study the aim is to develop a model about teaching technical specifications in fashion design education. The aim of this study is to develop a model for teaching technical specifications in fashion design education. Therefore it is considered that the study is important in terms of integration of design and production information with related technical specifications. Keywords: Fashion design, fashion design education, technical specifications
Highlights
In fashion design education, there is technical knowledge such as concept determination, selection of the fabric and auxiliary materials, clothing design, pattern preparation, sewing techniques during the fashion design process to be taught
It is necessary to teach this information which should be included in this document covering technical characteristics in collection preparation should be taught to the designer in fashion design education
It is vital that technical specifications of the collection are given in sample production process
Summary
There is technical knowledge such as concept determination, selection of the fabric and auxiliary materials, clothing design, pattern preparation, sewing techniques during the fashion design process to be taught. It is necessary to teach this information which should be included in this document covering technical characteristics in collection preparation should be taught to the designer in fashion design education. The designers often have some specific design details in mind that need to be conveyed to the pattern maker and sample sewer in order to create the sample or prototype garment at the stage of the design process. This ability comes through observation and experience (Frings, 2014) Most designers begin their process on garment templates called technical drawings. Tech drawings are especially useful and often necessary for pattern making and production needs Sometimes specific dimensions, such as the size and/or placement of patch pocket, are indicated on the tech drawing. This study is important for the integration and association of design and production information with related technical specifications
