Colour is one of fashion’s greatest magic tricks. It can make you look taller, slimmer, brighter, younger, richer, calmer, bolder—or like you dressed in the dark.

Before people notice the label, they notice the colour.

So if fabric is the body of clothing, colour is its personality. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ NOUBI SAYS:  To understand fashion with clarity is to have knowledge of its construction. If you talk of construction, there must be a ‘tool’ to create the result just as an expert in any profession has. Fashion designers use fabrics but their tools are an illusion, color, line, scale, and form. Varying combinations of these tools determine what the design will look like in various figures. The designers never mix matches these elements at random and just hope for the best. Every finished product is a carefully created piece of art designed for a specific reason. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ NOUBI SAYS:  In dealing with your particular style,  your body is dependent on your personality just as any part of your body is dependent on the rest of your clothing. The relationship of your personality, body, and clothing must be in harmony as a whole for the best result.   Because we tend to read clothing messages only as a harmonious whole according to what we know as our standard. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.philippinecourier.net/how-fashion-designing-work-13309</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Fashion design works when illusion meets reality.

The designer creates the dream.
The ad sells the fantasy.
But you must make it work in daylight.

Choose clothing that flatters your body, respects your personality, and supports your real life.

Because the most stylish thing you can wear is not fashion—

It is good judgment. ]]></description>
