THE PROCESS

The most important need of costume designing is to understand the vision of the director or the demand of the script .

Extending from the narration , its very important to understand the client / character . Understanding the character's history / culture / setup / demographics / social structure etc. also helps in building the understanding of the character.

A mood-board / color story gives an idea of the mood of the story / character.

The colors / silhouettes / textures / prints / patterns etc. are derived majorly from the mood-board.

An entire range of design sketches is made / referenced as per the character so as to get a clear picture of the characters.

On the basis of our understanding of the character and quantity of the costumes required , a budgeting is articulated .

The measurements of the character is taken to ensure the proper fit of the garment. 

On the basis of the mood-boards and color story , the materials of the garments and the trims are sourced .

Once the material is sourced and locked , garments are made as per the measurements taken and the designs finalized.

Once the garment is ready , a look test or fittings is done so as to avoid any last minute confusion / alteration.
