Both fashion design enthusiasts and college students will think that plate making is a compulsory course before fashion design, and only by learning plate making well can they become fashion designers. Of course, plate making is indeed an essential subject in fashion design. I don't deny that structural cognition has a great influence on fashion design, but don't forget that plate making is definitely not the whole of fashion design. There are three elements in fashion design: fabric, color and silhouette. Among them, silhouette refers to the structure, volume, proportion and version of this garment. Plate-making is only one of the three elements. The "silhouette" of a garment is not entirely determined by plate-making, but actually depends on the cooperation of "design pattern" and "fabric selection"! Therefore, many people "think" that the academic version is difficult, but it does not mean basic plate making. Don't listen to other people's nonsense They may just want to be "smart" or make you spend a lot of money on classes. If you are interested in "making clothes", you can buy some plate-making books to teach yourself. As other friends mentioned, there are many factions of plate making, but all roads lead to Rome. Don't think too much at first. Find a book and basically learn it according to "draw a tiger according to a cat". Of course, the society mentioned here does not include design patterns. And it doesn't mean that learning to make plates means learning to design clothes and becoming a fashion designer! Many designers of Niu X are awesome, because they can not only make clothes, but also design patterns. Clothes of the same style (style) will be "noble Leng Yan" when made, and will become "cheap goods" as soon as you make them. This means that although you have learned the basics, you have not learned to design patterns. What you need is profound knowledge. So if you already "know how to make clothes" but feel that you "can't do it well".
