The following text is the design statement for my 2017 Autumn/Winter collection for my third year in the Bachelor Degree in Fashion Design. I will be describing my design process as per Fiona Diffenbacher’s theory and give a summary of how I arrived at my chosen theme and designs. I will also describe the inspirations that lead to my chosen concept and why I was drawn to the theme.

I have also included a critical path timeline that I intend to work by in the second semester of this year. Fiona Diffenbacher writes in her book Fashion Thinking: creative approaches to the design process (Dieffenbacher, 2013) that the process of designing a collection is a very personal one. It is something that can vary enormously from person to person. She states that students are often taught to design in a ‘linear’ fashion, which means that the idea comes first, the concept comes second and the design comes after.

This means that any stage of the process could come at any point in time. If for example, a student is inspired to create a textile or a digital print, then they should start
(Choose a garment, which can be used to discuss fashion from the point of view of the consumer.

The fashion industry is rapidly growing and constantly generating new fashion trends almost weekly. Fashion for some may seem ridiculous and unnecessary; but fashion is not just a meaningless usage of article of clothing or farcical materials sew together for coverage. There is more to fashion than meets the eyes, fashion is precious and significant. It is a reflection of self-image, it speak the ream about who we are and how we review ourselves.

Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” Fashion
Most people would agree that Christian Dior is one of the most successful fashion designers of all time, but the majority do not know how much work was put into the apparel and how much Dior cared about it and the team that helped him become so successful. In his autobiography, Dior by Dior, the dressmaker shows that even in the heart of his success he was able to stay loving, thoughtful, and passionate about all of the dresses that he designed throughout his career.
