And with the availability of many suppliers and the intense competition, wholesale prices are very competitive and purchasers can have a lot of options where to buy wholesale.

It has roots in culture, art, history, style, glamour and every other sphere imaginable. It is the description of trends and predilections of individuals, communities and nations. In order to write a dissertation on fashion, one needs to have knowledge coupled with the ardour for the subject in question.

INITIATION – RESEARCH ON FASHION DISSERTATION IDEAS AND TOPICS

To set off with writing on fashion dissertations, research is the prime factor which initially provides fashion dissertation ideas regarding particular fashion dissertation topics or themes and finally supplies vital material required for the main study.

HAVING AN APPROPRIATE FASHION DISSERTATION TITLE

Following theme selection is choosing a suitable title and then the preparation of the main part of the research study.

THE CENTRAL PART OF FASHION DISSERTATION

This fundamental section of fashion dissertations needs to have the following segments.

An argument is based on actual findings of the research including the personal views of the researcher.

The modern day woman is fashion conscious like never before and it is every woman’s eternal dream to look beautiful. Women in general spend most of their time in buying clothes that are in vogue. No wonder Fashion industry never ever will lose its charm. On a serious note fashion clothing has become an integral part of urban women’s lives and each one yearns to look their best at all times and with the clothing comes the right shoes, accessories and jewellery to match automatically follow the list.

Fashion for all? Nice joke

Women’s fashion clothing has undergone a sea change; there is nothing that you don’t find in the contemporary fashion world. It is no more a norm to have the perfect 10 body to carry off the fashion clothing and even the plus size women have a wide range of fashion clothing that can enhance their physical appearance beyond belief. Yes, looking good is not all about the physical features any more and this is where fashion clothing makes such a huge difference to an individual’s persona. There is also a myth that fashion clothing is restricted to the affluent section of society but as a matter of fact the high society fashion is now at every woman’s reach and everything that is good need not be expensive.

What are the basic requirements of women’s fashion clothing?

Women’s fashion clothing normally represents good cut, design, color and the material and these fundamental factors make the whole difference to your overall personality and looks. Even the high society fashion abides by these basic principles to present you some awe-inspiring attire. And the new plus size fashion is creating a movement in the fashion world with plus size dresses, tops, skirts and pants that are bringing a lot of cheer and confidence in many women.

What is the plus size fashion faux pas?

In plus size fashion clothing one needs to give special attention to the design, cut and the prints. Always remember that baggy or loose fitting clothes are big NO NO. The cut and the fitting of the clothes play a vital role; the right kind of fitting can actually make you look much slimmer. And even the prints on the material can make a huge difference to the dress you wear for instance clothes with huge floral prints can make you look oversized. Also remember plus size fashion does not support low waist pants or short tops, which will reveal your bulkier side so it is better to avoid such clothing.

Fashion clothing might not be as expensive as you imagined

It is a fact that many women are under an impression that stylish or exquisite clothing is a treasure that belongs to high society fashion but for all you beautiful women out there women’s fashion clothing is no more class oriented. You have an array of clothing options that will match your senses and body and that to at prices that you would die for. So what are you waiting for? Get dressed to kill!

Why fashion as profession? Since childhood I have always seen myself as a creative person. We all have a creative person within us; it’s only a matter of being aware of it. Since my young days, I have seen my grandma doing her stitching, so fabrics and fibres were always around me. Somewhere, all this inspired me and in addition to it, I always had this knack within me…. Design philosophy… I make it a point that my design philosophy evolve from one season to another. I borrow my inspiration from anywhere, but always keep in mind that the approach has to be inherent. I like to design for women who are modern, contemporary and believe in experimenting and breaking the norms or challenging themselves but without trying to shock the world. Your first break…I launched my label in 2004 and started of with my debut show at Wills India Fashion Week which gained me critical appreciation. But then for the Spring-Summer 2009 collection, I joined hands with Delhi Fashion Week followed by a shift to WLIFW in A-W 2009. Why then shifted back to WLIFW? I don’t want to comment on that…It was my personal choice and there are some ideologies which I follow and believe in, so there is no solid answer or reason behind it.

Views on the Indian fashion industry? Hmmm… I have mixed views about our fashion industry. I think one needs to find positives and negatives. Past one decade has seen an immense growth and today’s new generation of designers have access to graphics and other new technologies which help in creating better designs. They are the ones capable of capturing the global market. So where does India lack? The point which I want to put forward is that this glamorous industry is doing numerous things at a time. We should take one thing at a time. The other neglected sector is retail it needs to be addressed and is still at an unorganized stage. At this nascent stage, we should not compare ourselves with the international industry. A lot of factors are to be taken into consideration before one launches a label. Though everything depends on luck and talent, unlike international designer, Indian designer have to face a lot more issues. Launching a label should be a more friendly process, if not easy. How much important is marketing when it comes to fashion? Oh… yes. Marketing is very important. But if you ask me, I would not buy the statement- ‘emphasize on tying up with people to make the brand visible’. I would rather create valuable and good quality products which I consider will be sustainable.

Designers you admire… Among the national designers, I like Arjun Saluja and Anamika Khanna a lot for the consistency in their work. Vivien Westwood, Victor & Rolf and Undercover are the ones I admire internationally. Your views regarding the whole episode of Vijay Singh’s arrest… What is the future of Indian Fashion & Design Week? I don’t want to comment on Mr Vijay Singh’s arrest as it involves some personal issues. As far as future of IFDW is concerned, from past one and half years, the people of this industry are trying to be together and deliver one fashion week. But for the upcoming season I can say there will not be one because of the brand new edition of India Men’s Week. And regarding the confusion of whether FDPC or FDCI will rule the roost, we have to wait till the dust settles down. Which fashion week are you planning to showcase your collection in the upcoming season? I am still working on my designs, have not yet decided yet. Still talks are on… so let’s wait and watch. I’ll take a call regarding it once I get to know which will be a better platform to showcase in. Before showcasing here, I’ll be presenting this collection in Paris.

“Corporate India investing in fashion as a business will change the way the industry works” the designer elucidates when asked one factor that can accelerate the growth of Indian fashion industry. For the first ever men’s week, the designer feels that there will be more local buyers, “More buyers will come once they realize that menswear can be as serious a business as womens wear if not bigger” he signs off. After spending three enriching years polishing his skills at the estimable Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, Siddarth Tytler a designer with a difference, breathed life into a label of his very own in the year 2002. His immense creativity and understanding of business strategy coupled with an evident commitment from the hours spent together with each client, has helped him establish an enviable platform which some could only aspire to reach.

At the upcoming Van Heusen India Men’s week, fashion design extraordinaire will once again give birth to an inhalation of creativity in the form of ‘Love. War!’ which is a fashion compilation inspired by the Second World War (1935-1945) and the years prior to it .The designer will present a dual collection fusing. A rich contrasting projection of vibrant compositions, depicting the love and bonhomie prevalent across Europe, prior to World War II; representing the ‘Spring – Summer 2010′collection followed by the decidedly structured and more sombre feel that held steady through the years of the war that represents the ‘Autumn – Winter 2009′ collection.

The ‘Spring – Summer20 10′ titled ‘Love.’ draws its inspirations from the pre-war era of the early 20th Century which will be an enthusiastic and creative burst of floral prints, pastel colours and earth tones like olive and a touch of powder blues. The silhouettes are semi structured and special emphasis has been laid on the comfort of the wearer. The collection comprises of linens, cottons, jerseys used to create an array of summer jackets, structured pants, pyjamas, t-shirts & shirts. The line is highlighted by minimal embroidery and a touch of texturing. For more information you click Fashion Week and find details.

Fashion represents one culture different to the other. Fashion is one the great way to express ones feelings. Bright colors show happiness. And the opposite colors will show probably sad, and especially at a day like that everyone is wearing black. Fashion also depends on mood and situations. People dress up as per the occasions. On some happiest moments of life or any party or wedding people love to wear bright and stylish clothes. And on some sad situations or on lost of someone people mostly dress up with white and black dresses, depends on their region or culture.

So fashion is the only element that makes your day special with your love ones. If we talk about India, then India is very rich in using bright colors, long dresses specially on some special events and occasions. India has number of cultures and festival in it. For every festival different styles of clothes and appearances are used.

Fashion Shows are also playing an important part in spreading fashion. Fashions shows play an important part in spreading one’s culture and fashion in other cultures. Through fashion shows people know about fashion of different cultures, try to grab them and no doubt we love the fashion trends of others and always remain interested in knowing others’ fashion.

These days number of fashion shows and fashion weeks are organized in different parts of the world, showing different cultures, variety of clothes with number of styles and attractive colors. Fashion shows have become an important place to know about new fashion and fashion trends. Fashion shows are organized on corporate levels and number of celebrities and common people participate in it to get the ideas on new fashion and clothes.
