DEBRIEFING TEXTILES

Let’s zoom in on the aspects of the textiles. For starters, we made a hierarchy of the crux that explains how textiles evolved from the Stone Age to the modern world. 

The Textiles is classified into four:

Ø  Fabric

Ø  Garment design

Ø  Art Forms

Ø  Fashion updates

·       Fabric:

                 Fabric is not like what many of us think of as finished, ready-made output. Rather, it’s the opposite of what we think. Yes, it’s simply an unfinished, plain cloth. It can either be both a natural or artificial process which includes the process of selection like whether this by-product is suitable for us to wear or not, how impurities got removed, how that by-product converts into a thread, and how with a compilation of thread, we make a full-blown cloth, how that cloth got dyed or colored like that. But at the end of the day, our ultimate goal was to make things practical and convenient for our daily lives.

·       Garment Design:

                Garment simply means a finished product or dress. When we combine the design into the apparel or garment, it adds a finishing touch like a dessert we have after a complete meal. Our main purpose is to wear a dress to cover ourselves. Like in Psychology, once our basic needs are fulfilled, we as humans tend to look up to higher-order needs. Here comes the Aesthetic purpose in textiles, which is fully focused on attraction, the beauty of the cloth. Simply put, focused on design.

               Design, as we all know, it’s a creative process. We can do it on both real (expressed on paper) and virtual (Software like Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, and Photoshop). The designer’s mental image or thought process inside him will be conveyed as design output. Designing in textiles does not simply stop at the dress. It continues like watches, jewelry, shoes, belts, and bags, as every daily life product we use has Textile. For Example, a watch strap, an exercise mat. So, this field of study does not simply stop at the dress.

·       Art Form:

                The art form is a universal thing. It is a way to express our feelings and creativity. It splits into three.

o   Tribal Art – Tribal people’s way of living was expressed in a simple form, like geometric shapes, and lines.

o   Traditional Art – Focuses on Minute detail and symbolic representation of God, literature, and mythological stories.

o   Modern Art- Doodle, Graffiti, Tattoos, Pop art. Starts in the 19^th century

                            It differs across cultures, norms, beliefs, customs, and ethnicity. It’s subjective and inclusive in nature.

·     Fashion Updates:

                           Fashion does not just end with textiles. Everything around us is Fashion. It covers every sector. Recent developments and news about the same happen and update themselves every single day. That explains the purpose of our Blog!

 Hi! Welcome to our Blog managed by John Paul, where I am driven by a passion for Fashion. “Fashion is the armor to survive the reality of everyday life” ~ Bill Cunningham. Therefore, for our survival in everyday life, this is one of my assignments. It created an innovative insight in us to start this initiative.                          

Now, to answer your question, my main objective is to cover the Framework in the Fashion Industry. Our blog name is inspired by “Fashion”. Through this, we call it FACYD- Feel And Create Your Design.
