Transcript: Niger: Guinea Brocade Boubous Guinea brocade fabric is characterized by its colorful and intricate designs, often featuring geometric patterns, floral motifs, or other decorative elements. The fabric is typically woven from cotton or a blend of cotton and synthetic fibers, such as polyester. History: The history of Guinea brocade fabric dates back to colonial times when European traders brought textiles to West Africa for trade. These textiles often included brocade fabrics woven with metallic threads, which were highly prized by West African societies for their luxurious appearance and intricate designs. Over time, local weavers in West Africa began to produce their own versions of brocade fabric using traditional weaving techniques and locally available materials. These fabrics became known as Guinea brocade, named after the Guinea Coast, where they were initially imported from Women’s boubous, Maïmour Style, designed by Maimouna Diallo, FIMA (Festival International de la Mode Africaine), Niamey, Niger, 2009.

It’s not just a fabric; it represents our heritage, traditions, and identity. Wearing Ankara is a way to connect with our roots and express pride in our culture. It symbolizes creativity, resilience, and the vibrancy of Nigerian fashion. Whether it’s for special occasions, celebrations, or everyday wear, Ankara is more than just a fashion statement—it’s a symbol of who we are as Nigerians." - Emmy Obu Introduction In the rich tapestry of West African textiles, a profound narrative unfolds, reflecting centuries-old traditions that persist today.

Fashion Design Background Information

Transcript: Some fashion designers set up their own labels, under which their designs are marketed. Some fashion designers are self-employed and design for individual clients. Other high-fashion designers cater to specialty stores or high-fashion department stores. These designers create original garments, as well as those that follow established fashion trends. Mass market: Currently the fashion industry relies more on mass market sales. The mass market caters for a wide range of customers, producing ready-to-wear clothes in large quantities and standard sizes. Inexpensive materials, creatively used, produce affordable fashion. Mass market designers generally adapt the trends set by the famous names in fashion. They often wait around a season to make sure a style is going to catch on before producing their own versions of the original look. In order to save money and time, they use cheaper fabrics and simpler production techniques which can easily be done by machine. The end product can therefore be sold much more cheaply. Fashion designers may work full-time for one fashion company, known as 'in-house designers' which owns the designs. They may work alone or as part of a team. Freelance designers work for themselves, selling their designs to fashion houses, directly to shops, or to clothing manufacturers. The garments bear the buyer's label. Types of Fashion Most fashion designers, however, work for apparel manufacturers, creating designs of men’s, women’s, and children’s fashions for the mass market. Large designer brands which have a 'name' as their brand such as Calvin Klein, Gucci, or Chanel are likely to be designed by a team of individual designers under the direction of a designer director. Fashion designers attempt to design clothes which are functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. They must consider who is likely to wear a garment and the situations in which it will be worn. They have a wide range and combinations of materials to work with and a wide range of colors, patterns and styles to choose from. Haute couture (French for "high sewing", "high fashion" or "high dressmaking") refers to the creation of exclusive custom-fitted clothing. Haute couture is made to order for a specific customer, and it is usually made from high-quality, expensive fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finished by the most experienced and capable seamstresses, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques. Couture is a common abbreviation of haute couture and refers to the same thing in spirit. Fashion Designers Some fashion designers set up their own labels, under which their designs are marketed.

Fashion Designers Fashion Designers Ready-to-wear or prêt-à-porter (often abbreviated RTW; off the rack or "off-the-peg" in casual use) is the term for factory-made clothing, sold in finished condition, in standardized sizes, as distinct from made to measure or bespoke clothing tailored to a particular person's frame. Off-the-peg is sometimes used for items which are not clothing. Fashion Design Fashion Designers Fashion Designers Types of Fashion Fashion design is the art of the application of design and aesthetics or natural beauty to clothing and accessories. Fashion design is influenced by cultural and social lattitudes, and has varied over time and place. Fashion designers work in a number of ways in designing clothing and accessories.
