Color and Fashion
A colorful world is a world of meaning because people have always used color as symbols. Here are some of the ways fashion and color have connected.
Red
The Aztecs of Mexico taught the Spanish how to make red dye by crushing insects called cochineals. Deep red looks bold, while pale red—pink—looks gentle. In the U.S., pink is now associated with girls, though before the 1920s it was considered a boy's color.
Yellow
Cheerful sunny yellow gets noticed. In ancient Rome, yellow was the most popular wedding color. Yellow is sometimes worn for safety reasons: raincoats today may be bright yellow so that the wearer can be seen easily in the rain.
Blue
Blue is the most common color—especially since blue jeans are everywhere! Blue has a calming effect. Fashion consultants recommend wearing blue to job interviews because it symbolizes loyalty. For this same reason, U.S. police officers traditionally wear blue.
Orange
Brilliant tropical orange may be the most attention-getting color. Like yellow, it can be used for safety—evening joggers and hunters in the woods may wear orange tops. Orange can be mixed with pink to make peach, a lively color that is popular in warm weather.
Green
Green is the easiest color on the eye. Hospital uniforms may be green because the color relaxes patients. Green is also associated with nature; leprechauns are said to dress in green, and brides in Europe in the Middle Ages wore green to symbolize fertility.
Purple
Purple has always been considered the color of royalty, because for so long it was very hard to get. Cleopatra needed 20,000 snails soaked for ten days to obtain one ounce of purple dye for her royal clothing.
Black
Black is generally considered a serious color. In the West, black is traditional for both funeral dress and sophisticated eveningwear. Black outfits can be overpowering, and villains, such as Dracula, often wear black.
White
Beginning in the 20th century, western brides have worn white to symbolize purity. In China, however, white is the color of mourning. White shows dirt easily; doctors and nurses wear white coats to show that they understand cleanliness is important.

Muslim Dress Code
"Hijab" is a word that indicates several conditions for the women's Islamic dress.
We shall try to outline these conditions below:
Conditions of Muslim Dress Code
1. Clothing must cover the entire body, only the hands and face may remain visible (According to some Fiqh Schools).
2. The material must not be so thin that one can see through it.
3. The clothing must hang loose so that the shape of the body is not apparent.
4. The female clothing must not resemble the man's clothing.
5. The design of the clothing must not resemble the clothing of the non-believing women.
6. The design must not consist of bold designs which attract attention.
7. Clothing should not be worn for the sole purpose of gaining reputation or increasing one's status in society.
The reason for this strictness is so that the woman is protected from the lustful gaze of men. She should not attract attention to herself in any way. It is permissible for a man to catch the eye of a woman, however it is haram (unlawful) for a man to look twice as this encourages lustful thoughts.
Islam protects the woman; it is for this reason that Allah gave these laws. In today's society womankind is being exploited, female sexuality is being openly used in advertising, mainly to attract the desires of men and therefore sell the product. Is the woman really free in today's society? The answer is obviously no. The constant bombardment by the media as to how the ideal woman should look and dress testifies to this.
Islam liberated woman over 1400 years ago. Is it better to dress according to man or God?
Allah has stated in the Quran that women must guard their modesty.
" Say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty ; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear thereof. " [Quran : 24.31]
" Say to the believing man that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty ; that will make for greater purity for them, and God is well acquainted with all they do. " [Quran : 24.30]

How do Muslim women dress
"Why do you wear that scarf on your head?"
The answer to that question lies in the teachings of Islam. It says in the Muslims' holy book, the Qur'an that Muslim women should draw their veils over their bosoms when they go out so they will not be molested.
The scholars of Islam have described that to draw the veil over the bosom means to cover the chest. A woman is also told that her natural beauty should only be seen by her immediate family, such as her husband, father, brother, uncle, etc.
These areas that should be covered are the neck, ears, and hair, as well as her bosom and body shape. I, as many other Muslim women do, wear a scarf that covers the ears, hair, and neck and goes down the front to cover my chest. I then wear a dress that covers me from the neck down, and that is loose fitting so as not to reveal the shape of my body. This is the typical (and recommended) dress for a Muslim woman, to protect her modesty.
This is to discourage any molestation by men who are not her family members. I, as a Muslim woman and a convert to the religion, remember that when I was younger and not yet a Muslim, my wearing skimpy clothing attracted many negative comments and lewd gestures. Since I have been Muslim and started covering my body, I have not seen this to be the case. I find it liberating that I am taken much more seriously as a person and valued for my mind as opposed to my body.
As a Muslim woman, I like knowing when I put on the Jilbab (a dress like an overcoat which covers from the neck down to the feet) that I am totally covered and no one can see what my body looks like. This was a personal decision that I made to cover and I am proud to have made such an important choice for my well being and myself.
For the most part I find that when I explain the reasons for why I wear the clothing and why I believe I should, that most people are rather accepting and some even comment on how logical the whole idea is. The whole stereotype that all Muslims are forced to dress like this is completely false. There are some Muslim women who do not choose to cover up, and this is their decision. There are however, many successful Muslim women who do cover up and have managed to become absolutely wonderful in their fields and still maintain the modesty that they chose to uphold.
So you see that it is a choice to dress and act the way we do, and maybe the next time you see a Muslim woman, you may have a newfound respect for her and the religion of Islam.

Dressing The Figure
One of the biggest problems confronting the fashion artist is that of dressing the figure. He must, first of all, be absolutely familiar with the human figure and capable of making the garment appear to be on a body, not on a flat hanger. The dress should be placed on a model, preferably a live model; but when one is not available a dummy mannequin may be substituted. Seeing the dress on a figure will aid the artist greatly in sketching it.
Nearly every woman has a definitely personal reaction to clothes. When she sees an attractive dress or an illustration of one, she immediately visualizes it on herself. If the dress is well-modeled or well-pictured, she feels that it would be attractive on herself. And that is the way you must strive to make her feel. The artist may be able to illustrate a dress so attractively that many women will feel they cannot live without it.
At the same time, the artist must not sacrifice accuracy to flattery. Extreme flattery is misrepresentation which frequently results in a negative reaction and definitely deters the sale of the article advertised. If, however, the sketch does not do justice to the article, it will not create a desire in the consumer, and the artist will have failed in his efforts at indirect selling. It is therefore, of the utmost importance that the artist learn to make the most of his subject's possibilities when illustrating.
With these points in mind, carefully study the garment to be illustrated. Is it more interesting from a fashion angle in the front or in the back? Fashion artist must observe current fashions in shops, read about them in authentic magazines, and study photographs and illustrations to enable them to recognize the new modes and to illustrate them accurately.
After you have studied the costume, visualize it on the type of person that could wear it most becomingly. Would it look best on a matronly figure? Could a young co-ed wear it most successfully? Or would it be most effective on a sophisticated young woman in her thirties? These are questions you should determine before starting your sketch. Remember that the effect of a sophisticated gown is entirely ruined on a demure model, and vice versa; so study the costume and strive for harmony and personality in your sketch.
After the figure has been freely, but carefully, blocked in and all unnecessary lines erased, visualize a line through the center of the figure. This should not be confused with the line of balance which by this time should have been erased. Visualize, also, the center of the dress and place it on the center of the figure. Sketch all lines and trimmings of the dress in proportion to, and correct location on, the figure.
The artist should strive always to get the contour of the body under the dress,-to show that third dimension, thickness. The contour of the body will influence certain lines of the dress. For instance, the position of the legs will determine the folds and lines of the skirt. If the skirt is circular or cut on the bias, it will cling very snugly to the waist and hips, then flare out (the amount depending upon the fullness) around the thighs and hemline. If the skirt is cut straight, the outline will follow the body line to the hem. There is very little variation in the width of a straight skirt from the hipline down, although it may appear a little narrower around the knees. If the straight skirt has lines or pleats in it, these lines will be influenced by the position of the legs and will follow their lines.
In a front view a few wrinkles should be placed across the abdomen and pelvis. These wrinkles will pull from the hip on which the weight of the body is resting. Frequently they are extended to suggest the position of the legs.
The bottom of the skirt should never be sketched straight across, but, rather, should have the general feeling of a rectangle. If it is drawn straight, it has the effect of being on something flat instead of being on a body that has thickness. Curve the rectangle at the sides to lend the appearance of going around the figure. The hemline will appear to be longer over the leg in the foreground or the foot nearer the artist. Strive for rhythm in the lines expressing the folds of the skirt.
If the dress is belted and the belt fits snugly, make your sketch of it on straight lines across the front, curving it on the sides. If it were curved all the way around it would give the impression either of being on a fat waistline or of being too large for the figure, - drooping effects which should be avoided in modern styles.

The Fashion Figure versus The Human Figure
Even though the present-day trend is toward naturalism in fashion sketching, there is still a vast difference between the fashion figure and the human figure. The greatest difference is, as it always has been, in the height of the two figures. The fashion figure is always taller, more graceful and more seductive in line.The variance in other ways may be summed up in a few words: the fashion figure is higher busted, broader and squarer shouldered, and narrower, very narrow, in the hips. The proportions vary from season to season to exploit more perfectly the current modes, but these are the general high points to remember.
The average human figure is seven and one-half heads tall, whereas a fashion figure may be from eight to ten heads tall, - in extreme mannequin types, as many as twelve heads. However, the height of the fashion figure should be governed by the length of the head and the width of the shoulders. This added height lends sophistication, grace and smartness to the figure - qualities that are envied by the majority of women and therefore enhance the appeal of an advertisement.
There should be a more angular appearance and a more abstract feeling to a fashion sketch than there is to a human figure, but at the same time the fashion figure, to meet modern popular demands, must be natural looking and suggestive of action.
This comparison will illustrate the contrasting proportions of the human and fashion figures. Both figures were started with the same size head as their unit of measuring.

Creating Figures
In fashion illustration your figure should be drawn long and slim with squared off shoulders and very unrealistically elongated legs. It will look extremely out of proportion, as the legs tend to be exaggeratedly long. The waist must be drawn very slender.
In drawing your figure, remember that the waist is one third down from the top of the figure. It is most important to show this important aspect of the figure, which will add to the elegance of your croquis. The waist falls in between the pelvic box and the upper torso shape, and should have a nice curve inward over these two structures of the body. The figures are measured in head widths, in order to ensure you’re getting the proportions right.
The true female figure measures seven to eight head lengths in height, the fashion figure measures nine to ten head lengths. In fashion drawing you must retain the basic proportions of the human form from head to crotch, only add extra length to the legs to give dramatic stylised effect and give your designs more dynamic appeal.

Fashion illustration
Fashion Illustration is the communication of fashion designs through drawing. The main focus is the fashion figure or croquis used for draping the clothing onto. The true female figure measures seven to eight head lengths in height; the fashion figure measures nine to ten head lengths, resulting in a move slender figure. In fashion drawing the basic proportions of the human form from head to crotch are retained, while extra length is added to the legs to give dramatic stylised effect and give the illustrator's designs more dynamic appeal. The body is usually drawn slim with squared off shoulders and very elongated.
There are three broad groups designated for the artists of fashion illustration: The Sensualists, Gamines & Sophisticates, and Technocrats. The Sensualists are categorized as strong and silent, while their work shows the presence of the artist him/herself. They delight in materials used including paints, inks, paper, colors, textures, and explore the capabilities of those media (Borrelli, 11). Gamines and Sophisticates create imaginary worlds inhibited by vivid characters. They borrow elements of charicature and cartooning, as a result they often translating humor and wit through their work, referencing and rejecting stereotypes of fashion representation (Borrelli, 63). Last there are the Technocrats, they use computers in a way in which are revolutionizing illustration. All of the Technocrats draw but do not end with hand illustration. Technocrats digitally transform illustrations and work towards a final computer generated product (Borrelli, 125).
Fashion Illustration gives freedom to portray fashion as the artist wishes. Unlike fashion design, there are fewer boundaries in which you can express your artistic point of view opposed to your flawless sewing skills (Drake, 7). Some well known fashion illustrators are Steven Stipelman from WWD (Women's Wear Daily), Jason Brooks - a Technocrat, Jordi Labanda - a Gamine and Sophisticate (Labanda, 1-13), and Ruben Toledo - a Sensualist. All which have done work and advertisements for clients such as Vogue, Barney's NY, Nordstrom, Louis Vuitton, Saks Fifth Avenue, Apple, Mercedes, and VH1 (Borrelli, 173-5).

Fashion Design
Fashion design is the applied art dedicated to clothing and lifestyle accessories created within the cultural and social influences of a specific time.
Fashion design differs from costume design due to its core product having a built in obsolescence usually of one to two seasons.
A season is defined as either autumn / winter or spring/ summer. Fashion design is generally considered to have started in the 19th century with Charles Frederick Worth who was the first person to sew their label into the garments that they created. While all articles of clothing from any time period are studied by academics as costume design, only clothing created after 1858 could be considered as fashion design.
Fashion designers design clothing and accessories also for women. Some high-fashion designers are self-employed and design for individual clients. Other high-fashion designers cater to specialty stores or high-fashion department stores. These designers create original garments, as well as those that follow established fashion trends.
Most fashion designers, however, work for apparel manufacturers, creating designs of men’s, women’s, and children’s fashions for the mass market. Designer brands which have a 'name' as their brand such as Calvin Klein or Ralph Lauren are likely to be designed by a team of individual designers under the direction of a designer director.
