My diploma project focused on creating a forecast for knitwear. I began by understanding the company and its strength in knitwear development. I had to forecast the fabric, provide a style direction for the Spring-Summer collection for 2011, and ideate a garment collection to be presented to the buyers. A major part of my diploma project involved research on client and customer preferences and ultimately doing a trend forecast. Fabric directions for both men’s and women’s wear were identified and accordingly congruous fabrics were identified from current developments and a garment story was made for women’s wear. Three different themes with different qualities and categories of fabric were used to actualise different collections—travel wear, casual wear, and active wear collections. Understanding the domain of knitting, the finishes and surface ornamentation of the fabrics was an interesting learning experience for me. |
