Of Cuts & Shapes

For those of you out there who think that fashion is easy and spending your time earning a fashion designing course is highly overrated, think again! While a passion for looking good is a must, just affinity for all things fetching will not take you a long way since the fashion industry is actually a very competitive one. One

needs to be armed with multiple weapons to survive. Besides learning about cuts and colours, a degree from a fashion design institute will endow you with the coveted know-how of how to effectively market your designs.

Fashion is as local as it is international. With contemporary fashion changing every other minute and something or the other happening in this arena across the globe, you should go for a fashion design institute that teaches an updated curriculum. Such a choice would enable you to inculcate the expertise and

aptitude needed to make a mark in the apparel and fashion industry. In addition to developing an eye for detail and the right textiles, you must also understand all that is involved in the pre- and post-production stage. The way you market and promote your creations will also decide its success.

Finally, the fashion design institute you choose will make or break your career. The course you pursue should not only sharpen your expertise in innovative designs and aesthetics but also ensure you develop a style of your own. The more original and offbeat you are, the better it would be for you. WLCI School of Fashion offers interesting courses in fashion design, production and advanced draping and grading techniques.

Halloween Event in WLC College India

WLCI Fashion Students have dressed in Halloween colourtheme on 18^th March 2013. Halloween costumes are traditionally modeled after supernatural figures such as monsters, ghosts, skeletons, witches, and devils. Over time, in the United States the costume selection extended to include popular characters from fiction, celebrities, and generic archetypes such as ninjas and princesses.

Dressing up in costumes and going "guising" was prevalent in Ireland and Scotland at Halloween by the late 19th century. Costuming became popular for Halloween parties in the US in the early 20th century, as often for adults as for children. The first mass-produced Halloween costumes appeared in stores in the 1930s when trick-or-treating was becoming popular in the United States.Halloween costume parties generally fall on or around October 31, often on the Friday or Saturday before Halloween.

Institute of Fashion Designing in India

WLCI Fashion students participated in draping session on 28th April 2012 taken by Ms. Sumina Gupta in the campus. Drape is the way that fabric hangs. The process of draping involves sewing loosely hanging material to a garment to create a flowing look. Though it can make for a very dramatic effect when done properly, it does take skill and practice. Many designers choose to experiment with the way fabric hangs, but there are also objective ways to measure drape. This technique is commonly used in making dresses, but can also be used to make blouses, skirts, and pants.

Draping usually begins with a designer taking a basic garment and putting it on a dressmaker's model. The garment is generally already sewn into its core shape — for instance, a bias-cut dress would start out as a bias tube on the model. Next, the designer takes pieces of fabric and pins them to the garment where the drape is desired, which will give the final garment its shape. Most of the time the pinned fabric is not the same as the fabric that will be used for the final garment, but rather a similar cheaper fabric. This is because the fabric that's pinned on the dress will often be cut or marked on during the design process, which can be expensive with fine cloths.
