The type of a dress which is worm at a certain season is the fashion of that season. Fashions repeat slightly modified in form and garment length within a comparatively short period. Colours also repeat in the cycle of fashion, but with no apparent regularity. The current fashion is seldom restricted to one colour A garment should be stylish as well as fashionable. "Die student of clothing should cultivate a strong sense of style which is quite necessary when dealing with fashions. Fashions change from season to season, and these changes in colour, fabric, line and silhouette make the garment of the former season seem to be out of date. Textile designers always look for new ideas for materials and the garment designer looks for new ideas for embodied in the new fashions. Where does he get his ideas from? The study of folk clothes, of the dress of other peoples and of historic styles has always been a stable source of design ideas. Basing his design on some historic period the designer should be careful to make it in harmony with the current style. As the silhouette is generally the determining feature of the costume giving the garment its character, the modern silhouette must only slightly resemble the historic one. For example historic styles in which the skirts are very full will not adapt easily to an existing style if the skirts are very narrow. Too great an adaptation of the historic costume silhouette will give a realistic effect that is only suitable for stage costumes. It is also possible to use some ideas from past styles in lines or trimming within the silhouette. However the silhouette of one period should not as a rule be used with the decorations of another. To produce good results the designer should possess: a sound knowledge of the technology, a thorough understanding of human proportions in their normal and abnormal forms, ability to measure correctly and observe accurately as well as the skill necessary for transferring these data to a pattern, an artistic skill and imagination. Краткий пересказ на английском языке
Текст обсуждает изменения моды и дизайна одежды. Мода определяется как стиль одежды, который носится в определенный сезон, и она часто повторяется с легкими модификациями. Цвета в моде также цикличны, но без предсказуемости. Одежда должна быть как стильной, так и модной, и дизайнеры одежды должны разрабатывать уникальные идеи, черпая вдохновение из народной одежды, исторических стилей и культур других народов.
Дизайнеры должны учитывать, что, хотя они могут использовать элементы исторических стилей, современные силуэты иногда становятся определяющим фактором, и важно сохранять гармонию между старинным и современным стилями. Например, очень полные юбки из прошлого могут быть трудно адаптированы к современным узким стилям. Реалистичные костюмы исторического периода обычно уместны только для театральных представлений.
Кроме того, чтобы достичь хороших результатов, дизайнер должен иметь прочные знания технологий, понимать человеческие пропорции, уметь точно измерять и наблюдать, а также обладать художественными навыками и воображением.
