Subject of consideration in my diploma thesis is design of ready-made women’s collection with elements of sports fashion. Purpose of the collection is designing modern women’s collection inspired with skiwear. Sport and sports fashion have historically, as well as today, had major impact on everyday fashion and still have a major impact on the design of everyday wear, as they are becoming simpler and more functional.
In the theoretical part, I explored sports fashion, how it has changed throughout the history, and how sports have influenced it. I focused on ski clothing ad fashion in the 70s and 80s of the twentieth century. Most of all I researched the history and characteristics of ski fashion and it’s influence on today’s fashion. I was mostly attention to the elements and details of the equipment used in skiing and transformation of those forms into new shapes and silhouettes.
In the experimental part I showed the process of designing and developing collection. I designed ready-to-wear collection in which I integrated the elements of ski fashion. At the beginning of my design process I was inspired by the fashion of the 70s and 80s. I isolated the specific elements and translated them to the new silhouettes. The aim of the collection was to create contemporary clothes using technical materials and redeveloping new patterns out of the existing ones. In the design process, I also made various shapes and textures consisting of wrinkles, fillings and sewed edges. I upgraded the look of the classic silhouette by experimenting with different materials and shapes.
