  1. ELEMENTS & PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN key to fashion design

  2. Balance • is how the space of a shape interacts with the overall figure. Can be symmetrical (equally divided) or asymmetrical (divided unequally)

  3. Proportion • is the relationship of the size of different parts of a garment and the relationship of the total volume of the garment to the person wearing it. Colour of a garment enhances or reduces the illusion proportion creates. An effective garment must balance the person’s figure http://thebluekimono.blogspot.ca/2009/03/elements-of-design-proportion-and.html

  6. The Golden Ratio • The golden ratio occurs in nature, and is a mathematical formula used by artists, designers, architects, and even musicians in creating beauty. • for artistic uses it’s often simplified to this: 1:1.5, or a 2:3 ratio. • naturally appeals to the human eye, and that people throughout time and space are drawn to it whether they know it as mathematical formula or not. http://thebluekimono.blogspot.ca/2009/03/elements-of-design-proportion-and.html

  7. The Golden Ratio cont’d • Leonardo da Vinci was intrigued by the golden ratio and depicted it in his famous Vitruvius Man. http://thebluekimono.blogspot.ca/2009/03/elements-of-design-proportion-and.html

  8. Proportion & Balance work together • Trouser works well because the proportion is just right! The pleated, flowy pants are balanced by broad-shouldered tops and wide belts. http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i94/gwendog/fashion/32517Missoni.jpg

  9. Emphasis • is the focal point or center of interest of a garment. It can be accomplished with line, design details, colour, texture, trims or accessories. http://www.fashiondesignscope.com/?p=3302

  10. Rhythm • is the flow of the lines, shape, space and texture of a garment • is a sense of movement and is necessary to create interest • Done by the repetition of lines, shapes and colour – to create direction

  11. Harmony or Unity • is the pleasing arrangement of all the parts of a garment. Colours, lines, shapes, and textures look like they belong together. Image Courtesy: tradenote.net, allwomenstalk.com, thestylesample.com, patternpulp.csareensaree.com, bridgat.com, pursepage.com
