HierarCHIC...

HierarCHIC  HierarchicAL... 

Have your pick...

Linguistically the word seems to offer freedom of choice...

Creatively speaking... not so sure...

 Beautiful sketching, excellent pattern cutting, yet unfinished Unit: no final outcome for quite a few participants of the hierarchic ladder design-pattern-construction...

Questions:

 Is this a common feature of the Fashion Design Delivery process? 

Is the hierarchical element detrimental to final outcome achievement?

Isn't it more productive to create within and be nourished by non-hierarchic systems?

Evaluations of the design process of a new garment help establish the Design Challenge and list the possible issues before the pattern cutting stages start, ask the lecturers for input, then solve those issues gradually and make notes each time.

Thick folders display weekly assignments, each envelope contains the final industrial pattern with all important notches: a coding system to allow the smooth production of a garment by linking each pattern piece to the next.
