Talk Like a Fashion Designer
Designers use special words and phrases to talk about their creations. Read on to learn how to talk like a fashion designer.
Style Seeker
True style is as much about what you do as how you look. Do you love to run, read, draw, or sing? Design an outfit for each activity. Try out each style to find one you feel comfortable in, or invent your own.
In the Bag
Bags come in many sizes, from tiny to extra-large. Which one you choose depends on what you need to carry around. Imagine you’re taking a trip and think about what bags you’d need for your vacation.
Ready to Party
Parties are a ball! We get to show off our sparkling side and have fun. Each season has reasons to celebrate, like your birthday or the end of the school year. So, twirl around and dance on the inside while you plan out what you’ll wear.
Sparkle
A little sparkle goes a long way! Glitter, sequins, and jewels bring drama and magic to your designs. There are no rules to follow when adding these elements into your look. You can pile them on or only use a few. It’s up to you.
What’s Your Thing?
Both fashion designers and movie stars often have an iconic style that they’ve made famous. Maybe they always wear a little black dress or have a signature haircut. They are devoted to the ‘thing’ that makes them memorable. What’s yours?
Stylish Sunglasses
You don’t have to spend your allowance on a pair of far-out frames! Sunglasses protect your eyes while tying your whole look together. Grab your supplies and get ready to craft. All eyes will be on you-or at least on your cat-eye shades.
Wrap up Warm
From cape-like sweaters to star-filled rain jackets, your goal in fall and winter is to stay warm and dry. Use these looks for inspiration and then create a style storm by wrapping up in your own way.
Texture
Texture is about the look and feel of materials. Fashion designers add texture to their creations by using a mixture of fabrics and trims. Next time you are looking at fabrics, think about how they feel: which ones are smooth, rough, fuzzy, gritty, or silky?
