probabilistic design concept for Fashion Practitioners: From Inspiration to Collection

A big part of the design conceptualization of any fashion garment is based on how we understand the cognitive design derivatives which must be observed and recognized from the viewpoint of target consumers or buyers' introspection. This would be keeping all the consensus like design aesthetics and consumer behaviour like elements and principles of design, fashion buying, demographics, shift in fashion, and the market trends which keeps shifting as the economy and changeover take place. A progressive study of any basic design and transforming it into a conservative design practice will result in a visible change in aesthetics as per consumer demand. This paper would be a pathfinder for novice designers on how to develop ideas and skills for creating collections inspired by designers by keeping in mind these derivatives. The model is prepared on four basic phases of design process (a) research or investigation stage (germinal stage) which is how and where to find collective data, followed by (b) the process of choosing from innumerable sources till you find one ( nourishing stage), then (c) design development (thriving stage) and finally (d) the finalization (terminal stage) by a qualitative analysis, i.e. how design ideas or elements get converted into a collection through elaborative steps of creative process. Adapting and working on the conceptual design process to build up the design collection is shown by a progressive approach in this study. This experimental practice is also meant to provide a descriptive concept to provide novice fashion designers with a path to explore a design perspective for a successful fashion collection in a conceptual context
