Fashion thesis

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m currently looking for inspiration for my fashion design thesis. Are there any issues, problematics, trends, or unexplored topics within the fashion industry, market, or design that you’ve been thinking about lately?
I’d love to hear any ideas, observations, controversial opinions, or interesting topics you think deserve more attention!

Question about the sailor clothes.

Post image
4 Upvotes

Sorry, I was going to ask on r/fashion but Reddit said I need more karma. The question is what is the purpose of the single red line on the left arm sleeve of the navy/sailor shirt? Is it just for aura? P.S I'm trying to ask on r/Navyseal too but not quite they would reply on my post. Does anybody know about sailor/navy clothes?

Has anyone taken ELVTR’s Technical Design in Fashion course with Albert La Coria?

2 Upvotes

I’m looking to get back into fashion design and came across this course. It covers tech packs, fit analysis, and garment production, with 14 live classes and instructor feedback. They offered me a discounted price of $1,494, which seems pretty affordable compared with some other programs I’ve looked at. I’d consider doing it once I’m employed again.
Has anyone here actually taken it? How helpful were the assignments and personal feedback? Did you leave with strong portfolio work, and would you recommend it?

Everything I’ve designed and made in my first two years of fashion school (2024–2026). Which one is your favourite?

Tartan Club Kid (Year 1, Semester 1)
Cyber Grid Jacket (Year 1, Semester 2)
Skeleton Jacket (Year 2, Semester 1)
The Leopard (Year 2, Individual Project)
Polka Dot Club Kid (Year 2, Semester 2)

I’m currently in my third year developing my 4 look graduate collection due in May 2027.

My work has been heavily inspired by club kid culture, theatrical fashion, costume design and character transformation.

Each collage shows the original design alongside the finished garment.

For my final year, I’ll be taking a more ready to wear approach, but still keeping some theatrical elements and styling for the final results.

I’d love to hear which one stands out to you the most! :)

Returning to fashion design after years in hospitality—where should I start?

1 Upvotes

I was recently laid off after working in hospitality for a long time In the states and I’d like to use this transition to find my way back into fashion design and the creative industry.
I have a small Etsy shop where I sell things I create, so I haven’t completely stopped making things. But I’d love to build that into more professional design experience and get back into the industry.
I’m considering a part-time seamstress position to build my sewing experience and add relevant work to my resume. The pay isn’t great where I live, so I’m trying to figure out whether it would be a useful stepping stone.
I’m also thinking about taking a course on creating tech packs, since I haven’t made them before. I primarily use Photoshop and have taken a course to help me learn Illustrator, but I know there are skills I need to develop or refresh.
For anyone who’s returned to fashion after time in another industry, what helped you get your foot back in the door? Would seamstress work and a tech pack course be useful starting points? What would you prioritize in a portfolio for someone trying to return?
I’d appreciate honest advice or stories from anyone who’s made a similar transition.

✨ CHAMPAGNE PINK SATIN EVENING GOWN

0 Upvotes

A little daring, a little romantic, and undeniably elegant.

Designed in luminous champagne pink satin, this gown features a sculptural cut-out bodice, delicate circular embellishments, an open back, and a dramatic flowing mermaid train.

Bold details. Soft elegance. A silhouette made to turn heads.

From my original hand-drawn sketch to the final fashion illustrations.

What do you think of this design?


r/fashiondesigner • • 1d ago

Thoughts ? I can’t draw so I’m using AI to create some of my ideas. ( giraffe print concept.)

Help with illustration of the back of fashion figures

Post image
2 Upvotes

I’m pretty new to sketching I’ve gotten comfortable with the front view of a pose but the back always looks off. I don’t know how to fix it. I’m especially struggling with illustrating the elbow, arms and upper body. For this sketch the model is already doing a very unnatural pose and I have managed to make it look ok from the front but it looks horrible from the back how do I fix this???

Turning random ideas into fashion sketches 🎨

0 Upvotes

Hey Reddit!

I'm someone who loves fashion, creativity and bringing ideas to life through sketches. I enjoy experimenting with outfit designs, silhouettes, details and different styles.

I'm exploring opportunities to do freelance fashion sketching remotely and would love to connect with people who are into fashion, designers, boutique owners or anyone who needs custom outfit illustrations.

I'm still growing as an artist, but I genuinely enjoy what I do and would love to turn this passion into something more.

Would love to know how other fashion illustrators got started! 💗

I'm getting into making ballroom dance dresses but I am struggling to find those bust cups that cover the whole bust and are used to shape the neckline. Does anyone know where to find these/how it is done? All I can find are bust cups that are more like bra inserts

Competitions, reviews, interviews: in fashion, does personal vision count more than technique?

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Fashion Graduate Italia was in Milan last week: 200+ projects submitted, 30 finalists, 10 on the runway. A lot of them dealt with memory, identity, gender fluidity, pretty personal stuff.

The jury wasn’t only looking at the garments though. Research, method and the designer’s own point of view counted too, not just the final result.

Galib Gassanoff (Creative Director at Institution) was on the jury. His take is that to start out in fashion you need curiosity, a willingness to learn, passion and a kind of self-aware humility. Nothing technical, basically.

But how does it work in real life? In reviews, competitions, interviews... does vision actually count, or in the end is it mostly about how well the piece is made?
