Throughout this assignment I have developed and expanded my design knowledge and skills. I have increased my understanding of the design progression/stages in fashion from market research, trendboard, moodbaord, concept, colorways, design ideas through to a final collection. I have learnt that throughout the process you have to think about a lot of elements to design and make a successful collection suitable for your target market. While working to the brief I have used past knowledge as input as well as further development and research.
I have made a clear decision about the collection theme, style, colours, what age I'm designing for, fabrics and market level. Over all I am happy with my developed learning and progression of what I have achieved on this assignment.

Final design pages
These are my final design sheets. Both pages have two variations of an original design from my design sheets.
My variations have slight design changes, such as pockets, fabrics/colours and patterns. They only have slight changes as this is how the fashion industry does it. A slight alteration may be made to a garment like it's made in a different fabrics or colour or the pattern is slightly altered or even the detailing is changed such as pockets or trims.
Considered fabrics for collection
When designing my collection I had to consider fabrics the garments are going to be from.
Polyester/viscose, cotton, viscose/nylon/elastene, polyester, viscose/elastane
This one of the fabrics I have considered to use in the boys collection:

I have researched into cotton prints for the collection. These price for the print fabric is about £5.99 per meter but bought in huge quantity the cost per meter will be reduced.

Design Pages
Boys Collection
Girls Collection
For the background of my design sheets I have used sections of patchwork quilts, of which images from the internet. I resembles the concept and theme of miss-matched fabric and quirky style, tying in with the kitsch theme.
Collection Moodboards
I have created 2 moodboards for the childrenswear collection, one for boys and one for girls. This is beacuase boys and girls differ in requirements for clothing. Such as colour, fit, shape, pattern and garment type.
These are the moodboards I have created using CAD, using images taken from the internet and the colours from exsisting trend boards.

Collection Customer profile
The Customer for my collection is a modern, busy mum, looking for affordable, comfy and durable clothing for her children.
Her children are aged between 3 and 7 years, including boys and girls.
The children are looking for comfy, cool, stylish and easy to wear clothing.
I believe my collections cover all aspects required from my customer and the desired wearer of the garments.
