PLANNING A RESEARCH STRATEGY, ANALYZING AND DEVELOPING A CLOTHING COLLECTION CONCEPT

Abstract

The article includes the main stages of the research process in the development of a design project: strategies for information retrieval; concept development. Visual research allows to stimulate creative thinking to develop ideas, demonstrate a culture of thinking and the informed application of knowledge in project tasks. Strategies for finding information will help to make research more effective. The development of the concept allows to use the received inspiring images to further develop the idea or concept. The article is intended as a guide to the research process for novice fashion design researchers. The purpose of this article is to help and prepare young researchers for project thinking through the study of design objects; the application of a competent research strategy, the development of a design project concept. The strategy of the research process proposed in the article contributes to the formation of future designers' ability to independently solve research problems that are realized in working with scientific literature, both directly on design and related fields of artistic creativity. Of particular importance here is such a part of theoretical research as analysis. The article is intended to help students in the field of fashion design develop research skills and apply them in a professional context. The language of fashion is visual, requires an oral and written vocabulary for productive communication. There is a need to understand the special vocabulary that is an integral part of the fashion industry.
