The same steps may then be presented alone or in a variety of combinations, in different arrangements, fast or slow movements, against different backgrounds. Similarly, so it is with music. The notes are known or learned, the notes are combined, the combinations played on selected instruments or groups of instruments, the arrangement includes forward and/or backward tempos. As it is with dance or music designing a garment utilizes the limitless combinations and arrangements of what is known. Designing utilizes basic components and interprets them in harmony, balance and proper proportion for a particular presentation. The presentation of the design may be further dramatized, toned down, made pleasing or more appealing by the selected use of fabric, color, texture and patterns, alone or in any combination. • What is it that proclaims each presentation lovely, pleasant, exciting or dramatic? • Why is the presentation considered new, before its time, not acceptable when presented or exciting when rediscovered? The manner of the arrangement and rearrangement is what will render the design new, acceptable, current and desirable. It is the individual interpretation of harmony, balance and proportion of all the integral parts working as a whole that makes the design acceptable for the time, place, type and end use of the garment. All the parts, each segment or component, complementing or playing upon or against each other completes the whole. The unity of all the parts as selected by the arranger, the organizer, the coordinator, the stylist, or the designer produces a new design. Fairchild's Designer's/Stylist's Handbook is presented as a reference portfolio and source of visual ideas. The vast selection of material of individual items, ideas and designs are presented for anyone. The individual may use these ideas in any form to pull together their own unique, individualized, creative design. The aim of this handbook is to make available to the designer, stylist, coordinator, educator and student many examples of various styles and types of garment silhouettes, parts, sections and components of garments and design details. The sketches are offered as a guide for inspiration and development of original and unusual designs. All the designs are ready for use. The individual design elements may be used individually or in any combination. I have used the concept of combining and varying all known aspects of designs and different garment components during my career as a designer, stylist and manufacturer and as an educator in the field of apparel design. The designs and various garment components in this handbook have been compiled from my collection of designs and references gathered and used over a period of years. The examples and ideas in Fairchild's Designer's/Stylist's Handbook are arranged and classified with regard to: • The upper torso and all related garment components and design details
