4.1 Look though the text and divide it into three parts concentrating on the beginning of each paragraph.

 

Future Profession

The Technological Department of the South Russia State University of Economics and Service trains dress designers and engineers-technologists of clothing manufacture. After the special test in drawing at the end of the first year the students continue their studies in the groups of designers and technologists. Do you know the difference between the job of a dress designer and the job of a garment technologist?

The designer’s activity is highly creative and demands strong innovative talent, especially in styling, imagination and an inborn good taste. An artistic flair, a good eye for colour and sound understanding of garment make-up are also necessary for every designer. A modern designer can’t do without a good knowledge of the history of costume, new fabrics, modern trends in design and manufacture both in our country and abroad.

She must be able to forecast and develop styling concepts and design ideas from several to eighteen months in advance that seems the most difficult in designer’s work. And more than that! If the designer doesn’t want her models to be outdated she must regularly attend fashion shows, art exhibitions, current movies and read fashion magazines.

The designer’s activity also demands a good knowledge of special sciences and technologies. She must be able to make a construction according to the artist’s sketch or make the sketch herself, to make patterns grading, to determine yardage of material for the model. She must know the whole production process at a modern factory and be able to estimate the time / cost elements of sample garments from different fabrics, etc.

As for an engineer-technologist (a garment technologist) she is trained, first of all, for managing and manufacturing. The technologist is in charge of the organization of work at a dressmaking establishment or at a sewing factory. She chooses the fabric for a design (if it is necessary), technology of its processing, the type of a sewing machine, threads and needles. Her main duty is to control all technological processes: cutting, stitching and pressing. She also writes sewing instructions.

The technologist can work as a cutter and a dressmaker as well. While working with the customers she must take into account a lot of factors: the fashion trends, the individual character and the body construction of the wearer, his age and occupation, the kind of fabric and its colour effect, comfort and attractiveness of the dress, etc.

Both dress designers and garment technologists can work at Fashion Houses, design bureaus, dressmaking and tailors’ establishments, sewing factories and firms.

4.1.7 Read and translate the text.

 

Fashion designers are the artists of the apparel industry. They create ideas for a range of products including coats, suits, dresses, hats, and underwear. Fashion designers begin the process by making rough sketches of garments or accessories, often using computer-assisted design (CAD) software. This software prints detailed designs from a computer drawing. It can also store fashion styles and colors that can be accessed and easily changed. Designers then create the pattern pieces that will be used to construct the finished garment. They measure and draw pattern pieces to actual size on paper. Then, they use these pieces to measure and cut pattern pieces in a sample fabric. Designers sew the pieces together and fit them on a model. They examine the sample garment and make changes until they get the effect they want. Some designers use assistants to cut and sew pattern pieces to their specifications.

Define the information you can add to the table given in exercise 4.1.5
