 The Principles of Fashion Design

-Balance

Balance is the visual weight in design. Balance makes the right and left side of a garment appear to be equal. A garment must be balanced to be visually pleasing. There are two types of balance. 

    They are: Symmetrical-Symmetrical or Formal Balance uses two identical objects on either side of the design, such as patch pockets of the same size.

                   Asymmetrical Balance: In Asymmetrical or Informal Balance composition is different from one side of the garment to the other. Balance is achieved through visual impact.

  Proportion-Proportion is the pleasing interrelationship between parts of a design. The elements in the design should be scaled in size to fit its overall proportion.

Emphasis -Emphasis creates a center of interest in a garment. All other elements support it by echoing its design message. 

Rhythm-Rhythm leads the eye to one part of the design to another. It creates a movement through repeating of pattern and color.
