Fashion by Design, Second Edition, explains how the elements and
principles of design relate to fashion, based on the philosophy of
the Bauhaus Experiment of the 1920s and 1930s, which is the
foundation for art education in the United States. The book is
structured into three parts: the stages of the design process
(inspiration, identification, conceptualization,
exploration/refinement, definition/modeling, communication, and
production); physical elements (such as line, shape, form, space,
texture, light, pattern, color, and value); and theoretical
principles (like balance, emphasis, rhythm, proportion, and unity)
of design. This is reinforced by fashion designer profiles and
illustrations covering art, architecture, and fashion. The book
aims to improve the designer's eye for creating fashion and related
art forms; to identify terminology used in the communication of
fashion; and to show how other factors, such as the human form,
clothing structure, historic silhouettes, fashion trends, culture,
and industry trends, may impact the development of a line or a
collection. New to this Edition: -A more user-friendly order of
information, in a more condensed language style, with updated color
visuals -Expanded section on the design process, with information
on sustainable design -New creative assignments at the end of
chapters with application to the fields of fashion design
(including the development of a design journal), fashion
merchandising (such as styling, product development, buying or
trend research) and theater arts (such as costumes, sets, lighting)
