TEXT A

Design analysis

As you page through a fashion magazine or look at clothes in stores and shop windows do you ever wonder why one garment looks smart while another lacks “style”? When you try clothes on just some of them fit you perfectly and many others don’t look right on you. This means that a garment must be judged in two ways: it should have fine design qualities, and, it should be nicely related to the figure. As a rule, simple styles cut on good basic lines look well on most figures.

The elements of any design are: lines, shapes, textures, colours. It goes without saying that all these elements should be taken into consideration. A design has unity when all these elements seem to belong together. Each element should express a similar idea of giving the design a well-related quality – a feeling of “oneness”.

The principle of proportion concerns the relationship that exists between shapes, sizes and amounts in a design. First, the design of every garment should be related to the structure and proportions of the body; second, every article in the costume should be in scale with the figure (no huge prints for a tiny girl, for example). Third, a design is more pleasing when unequal amounts of colour are used. Equal amounts of anything produce monotony.

The principle of balance controls the placement of lines and shapes and the distribution of colours in design.

The principle of rhythm controls the “eye movement” in a design. When lines, shapes, textures and colours are well organized, the eye movement is smooth.

All these principles help one to achieve harmony among the elements of a design.

VI. Skim the text and answer the questions.

  1. What should each element of a design express?

  2. What should the design of every garment be related to?

  3. When is a design more pleasing?

  4. What produces monotony in a design?

  5. What gives harmony among the elements of a design?

  6. What controls the placement of lines and shapes?

  7. Should the neckline be related to the figure and face?

  8. Is the outline of the skirt related to the size and height of a person?

VII. Find synonyms of the words in the text.

Form, texture, unity, dress, decoration.

VIII. Give derivatives of the following words.

Structure, similar, to relate, monotony, colour, shape.

Что является основой конструкции любой одежды? Основу любой конструкции одежды составляют линии, формы, структура и цвет. Необходимо соблюдать строгое соотношение между формой и размерами. Каждая деталь в вашей одежде должна соответствовать вашей фигуре. Например, маленьким женщинам не рекомендуется носить ткани с крупным набивным рисунком. Существует несколько принципов создания единства в одежде: принцип пропорции, принцип равновесия и принцип ритма. Все они способствуют достижению гармонии между деталями одежды.
