Introduction
Designers Needed!!!!!!
The next new craze in fashion is waiting to be revealed! Do you know what it is going to be????? The major designers of today are coming up flat, they are out of ideas and need some inspiration from you. Do you have what it takes to inspire the fashion industry for the fall of 2016?
Task
Designers have exhausted all their ideas on the upcoming fall season 2015. We need some fresh new ideas from young and inovative designers. Your job is to research the ideas and designs from past seasons and come up with something new and fresh.
Process
1. To start this process you need to find out who the top designers are right now and what they are producing for the mass market. What are the top stores in each market and what designers do they carry?
Check out these websites. Have you ever shopped at any of these stores? What stores interest you most?

2. After researching what is out there in the market today, decide what you like about the fashion. Decide what you don't like about the fashion. How would you change it? What colors would you use? Would you use the same kind of fabrics?
3. Using the answer to the questions you have recorded, design one piece that would be the center piece for your new line. Describe the garment, its fabric, color and function.
