The Technology Student Association hosts competitions
annually at The College of New Jersey; one of the competitions is Fashion Design.
The 2014 TSA Fashion Design competition prompt is “design two outfits for a NEW
children’s fairy tale storybook character.” My partner Brie and I are each designing one
outfit for the same character. At the
TSA competition a live model will wear the outfits we create and model them
down a runway. Together Brie and I
choose that our outfits will be designed for the purpose of being worn as an on
stage costume if the storybook were to be acted out.

The primary purpose of the outfit is for a model to
wear at the TSA competition. Brie and I
chose to design and create the outfits with the purpose of wearing them as an
onstage costume in mind. This means that the product will be worn by models or
actresses.

Clothing is an
integral part of living; clothes are everywhere. Clothing has the ability to show who someone
is without ever saying a word; people use clothing as a way of establishing
one’s own identity. Costumes do the same
thing the same thing for fictional characters.
Fictional characters, like Little Red Riding Hood or Cinderella have
classic costumes; outfits that are used as an identifier. A person could look just at a costume and
know the fictional character that wears that costume. Often times fairy tales are brought to life
through performances, live performances require costumes for the actors to wear. Well-designed, theatric and individualized costumes
can help the audience differentiate the characters on stage, give the
characters a sense of individuality and enhance the overall performance.
The stakeholders
involved is anyone that may wear our costumes, anyone involved in producing a
performance of the fairy tale, anyone who would view a performance, and any
person that may use the costumes in the future as a basis for variations of the
costumes for purposes like Halloween costumes or a newer updated costume.
(The Epoch Times. 2009, March 7)
Cinderella Costume
The costume’s mood
is intended to be theatrical, whimsical, and expensive. The costume is intended for a princess
character to wear, therefore the costume must look worthy of a royal. The actual costume is intended to be worn on
stage, where spotlights and many eyes will be on the garments. The costume must be detailed and intricate
enough for audience members to be interested in the clothes from anywhere in
the audience.

Clothing is worn
by everyone; any clothing sold performs a similar function that my garments
will, which is to clothe the wearer. The
outfit I am making is intended for a live stage performance and will be modeled
at the 2014 TSA competition. Any costume
worn on stage, by a princess character functions very similarly to my outfit.

Brie Phiefer and I are preparing
for the 2014 TSA Fashion Design competition.
The competition is to create two outfits for a new fairy tale character;
we are each taking on one outfit. At the
competition a model will wear the out fits.
We decided to go beyond the competition prompt, we choose to develop a
storyline for a marine themed, educational fairy tale. The outfits we are creating are for the main
character in the fairy tale who is a princess.
As well the purpose of the outfits we are making is to be worn on stage if
the fairy tale were ever to be acted out.
