Initial Design Development

Moving into initial Design development I need to think about a few key concepts that will affect every part of my collection:

- Think about the LARGER VOLUME MARKET through cost, care, function, perception of quality

- How these factors relate to COST = if New Zealand label the cheapest production/ most feasible is to get the garments made off shore. 

- How does this affect ETHICS 

WHAT ARE MY PRIORITIES IN THIS COLLECTION?

Now: Begin to redesign/ modify/ filter - previous design work and future ideas 

A) Jackets and tailoring 

B) Outerwear

C) Knitwear and Jersey

I have included the mens and women's sides to represent how this collection can be unisex. This is proving much harder that I thought but I am trying to think how fastenings in different places e.g. zips will provide shaping in the women's body especially in the outerwear section. Having unisex garments that is one size fits all would mean less manufacturing, less pattern development, one cut plan that would be eco friendly and all round more sustainable clothing that can reach a wider population.
