Elements of design in clothing

• Designing of apparels is one of the most
  preferred roles in fashion designing. However,
  garment design is an intricate process. The
  designer needs to select the right blend of
  color, texture, hemline, thread, fabric, etc. It
  is a pre-requisite for the designer to be aware
  of the elements and principles of design in order
  to invent showstopper designs.

• The various elements of design play a pivotal
  role in designing of clothes, fashion
  accessories, footwear, etc. Though the color,
  texture, pattern or design of clothing is
  affected by cultural or social attributes from
  place to place, some elements always remain the
  same. The basic elements of design in clothing
  are as follows

Design Line

• Design lines in a garment never fail to highlight
  a wearers waistline, hemline as well as the
  neckline. For faultless creation of visual
  dimensions in a garment, design lines are
  categorized as straight lines which can be placed
  diagonally, horizontally or vertically and
  curved lines which are either gently curved or
  spherical.

5

• To exemplify the perfect figure of the wearer,
  curved lines are generally used. On the other
  hand, horizontal lines are used to augment
  wearers broad and bold look. However, different
  lines must be used in a fair proportion.

6
Emphasis

• The sophistication of a wearer is enhanced when a
  feature of his/her garment is highlighted thereby
  defining her/her persona and lifestyle. When one
  of the elements of design is given more weightage
  than others to create a thoughtful and
  eye-catching look of the garment, it is termed as
  emphasis. A collar in a denim jacket, the corset
  or a contrast band on the waistline of a garment,
  are some examples of emphasis.

Fabric Prints and Patterns

• Pattern and prints convert a minimalistic garment
  into a trendy one. While designing, taking fabric
  prints into consideration can be very
  advantageous and can even give an innovative as
  well as sophisticated look to the old discarded
  patterns.

Unity and Proportaion

• In order to allow a garment to stand out from
  others, there must be unity among its elements
  such as rhythm, proportion, emphasis and balance.
  Every element must be competent enough to augment
  the properties of other elements. Apart from
  unity, proportion is equally imperative as an
  element of design in clothing. It is responsible
  to form a rapport between the garments component
  (which includes its scale and size) and the
  wearers size.
