The first step of the design process is to set objectives to be attained. These objectives can be:
broad; for all garments in general
specific; for garments fulfilling special needs
The setting of objectives involves certain decisions related to desired result or end product one wants to realize. It helps an individual as follows:
focus efforts by establishing the specific targets to be achieved
suggests variety of possible means to achieve the established targets
removes impractical and worthless paths, saving the wastage of both resources and energy
The objectives set by the clothing designer help to take decisions about the following:
the basic materials; it may be fabrics, furs, leathers or other pliable material with technical properties
the secondary materials; involving decorations and other means of surface enrichment
Thus, a general objective establishes range of possibilities, removes worthlessness and offers guidelines for a target to be achieved while specific objective may be established out of stimulation or artistic experimentation along the way of achieving the general objectives with an aim to have innovative, distinct and versatile end product.
